Kate Yardy

Kate first began her real estate journey with Ray White Surry Hills in 2011 while studying at university, balancing her studies with roles as Front Office Administrator and Executive Assistant to Shaun Stoker. After completing her degrees in Communications (Public Relations) and Business (Marketing), she expanded her expertise in Public Relations before being invited back to lead the marketing team at Ray White’s Erskineville office, an opportunity she eagerly embraced.

Now as Creative Manager, Kate plays a key role in shaping the company’s marketing activities and brand. In addition to leading day-to-day marketing operations, Kate drives the creative direction of the brand across digital, print, and social media. She develops and implements marketing strategies for agents and property campaigns, project timelines, manages supplier relationships, coordinates fundraising and staff events, and supports agents with content creation. Kate is also responsible for producing marketing collateral, managing budgets, and maintaining internal systems to ensure marketing processes run smoothly and effectively for her team. Her work involves collaboration across multiple departments and offices, ensuring that every campaign reflects the values and personality of the Ray White brand while staying consistent, innovative, and high-impact. She is known for her creative problem-solving, attention to detail, exceptional organisational skills, and ability to turn ideas into polished, practical outcomes.

Kate has developed a well-rounded understanding of real estate marketing, including sales, leasing, projects, and property management. This diverse background has been invaluable, allowing her to contribute to multiple promotional and marketing facets of the business. Kate thrives on the variety and challenges her role presents, constantly learning and evolving within the industry. She is also an Ambassador for Leading Ladies of Real Estate, a national initiative that supports and inspires women across the property industry to reach their potential both personally and professionally.

Beyond her professional expertise, Kate values the strong sense of community and teamwork at Ray White, describing the environment as a close-knit, supportive family. Kate is a vibrant and energetic person who loves spending time with her friends, family, and foster dogs. Always on the move, she has a passion for traveling, cooking, baking, and exploring the outdoors. Outside of work, she is dedicated to animal rescue, actively rehabilitating and fostering dogs through her favourite charity Denise At Paws, a cause that holds a special place in her heart.
