Karl Leathley

Residential Sales

With a strong background in marketing and digital media, Karl brings a strategic edge to his real estate career. He crafts highly effective, modern marketing campaigns that stand out in today’s competitive property landscape, delivering results for his clients with professionalism and precision.

Born and raised in Northland, Karl has always considered the region home. After building a successful career in Auckland across Sales and Key Account Management roles in the advertising, technology, and business software sectors he returned to Whangārei in 2012 motivated by a desire to raise his young family in a more relaxed, community-focused lifestyle.

Karl’s approach is shaped by both industry expertise and deep local knowledge, making him a trusted guide for buyers and sellers across the region. He’s passionate about helping people achieve their property goals while ensuring the process is smooth, transparent, and rewarding.

Outside of real estate, Karl is a dedicated volunteer with the Royal New Zealand Coastguard. When he’s not helping clients or serving the community, you’ll likely find him on the water fishing, sailing, and enjoying the best of what Northland has to offer.
