Introducing

Kaye McElwain

Licensee Agent
Ray White Mangawhai

It’s the ‘can do’ attitude, a dynamic mind and consistent pursuit of a great result that places Kaye firmly in the spotlight of Northland Real Estate movers and shakers.  Kaye achieved Licensee Agent status in 2016, fitting study in whilst selling and managing the business. Perhaps it’s true that experience counts, Kaye has over 20 years of property sales and marketing notches on the belt in both Auckland and Northland.  Couple this with her professional rapport and reputation for seeking out a premium price; we think going out for battle with Kaye on your side is a key weapon!  Likewise the buyers provide feedback of enjoying Kaye’s honest approach with all her industry ducks in a row to realise a sale.

Business ownership of Ray White Mangawhai and its energetic team certainly keeps Kaye on the hop, but when not donning a business suit Kaye likes nothing more than hanging out in the ‘red bands’ with husband and business partner Stewart.  Their 10.5 hectare lifestyle block is bursting with adored animals, tending to their needs is a welcome respite from leading the team, however one thing you can be assured, the iPhone will always be found in her back pocket, this lady seldom rests!
