Weka Legal & Real Estate: Property Lawyers in Queenstown

Weka Legal & Real Estate is a unique property law firm that combines legal expertise with real estate sales services in the Queenstown Lakes district. The firm specialises in residential and commercial property law, relationship property matters, and offers an innovative commission-free property sales model. Led by Karen Castiglione, who has practised law in Central Otago since 2004, the firm provides an end-to-end solution for property transactions.

The firm's distinctive approach eliminates traditional real estate commission structures, instead charging a fixed success fee for property sales. This integrated model allows clients to benefit from legal expertise throughout the entire sales process, from initial property health checks and market appraisals to final settlement. Weka's services include property conveyancing, relationship property resolution, and comprehensive real estate marketing through major platforms including TradeMe Property and realestate.co.nz.

With over $66 million in property sales achieved by July 2025, Weka Legal & Real Estate has established itself as a disruptive force in the traditional real estate market. The firm's mission focuses on reducing the cost and complexity of selling residential real estate while maintaining high standards of client care, legal diligence, and professional service that lawyers are uniquely positioned to provide.
