Cate Young brings over 25 years of international design and property experience to her real estate career, offering clients a highly considered and strategic approach. With a background spanning residential and boutique hotel projects, Cate has a finely tuned eye for detail, flow and the subtle elements that make a home emotionally compelling to buyers.

Noosa has been part of Cate’s story since childhood — a place of family holidays, deep connection and long-standing roots. She established her boutique design agency in Noosa at just 25, later founding the lifestyle store Summer&Salt, and has raised her family among the beaches and riverways she knows intimately. Having lived across Sunshine Beach, Peregian Beach, Yaroomba and Sunrise Beach, and calling Noosa home permanently since 2010, Cate offers genuine local insight across the region.

Cate’s extensive experience preparing homes for sale gives her a rare ability to showcase properties in their best light, emphasising presentation, flow and lifestyle appeal. She guides clients with clarity and precision, ensuring every detail — from preparation and positioning to marketing strategy — is thoughtfully considered before a campaign begins.

Warm, approachable and highly detail-oriented, Cate is known for her calm guidance, strong communication and client-first mindset. When not helping clients, she can be found ocean swimming, running National Park trails or practising yoga - bringing the same focus, balance and energy to her work as she does to her personal life.
