Emma Young is one of New Zealand’s most driven and recognisable real estate leaders, known for building high-performance teams, relentless client service, and consistently delivering results in competitive markets.
Over a 15-year career, Emma has been awarded the #1 Team consistently and played a founding role in the growth of Lowe & Co Realty—Wellington’s fastest-growing agency—helping scale the business to nearly 60 agents and close to 100 staff. Starting her real estate journey as a part-time PA and single mum, Emma doubled her business year-on-year through sheer work ethic, buyer-first service, and an unwavering belief that “if it’s meant to be, it’s up to me.”
Renowned for her ability to connect deeply with clients, Emma built her brand on trust, persistence, and doing what others won’t—often going the extra mile (or several) to get deals done. Resulting in a successful referral-driven business, with clients returning because of how she made them feel, not just the result she achieved.
Now entering her next chapter, Emma has exited Lowe & Co to sell real estate internationally in Dubai. Alongside this move, she offers consultancy to ambitious agents looking to upgrade their performance, systems, and mindset, and supports investors exploring property opportunities in the Dubai market.
Emma speaks candidly about the highs and lows of real estate, resilience under pressure, and what it really takes to build a sustainable, standout career—leaving audiences motivated, challenged, and ready to take ownership of their next level.
