Kristine McKay

My approach to real estate is shaped by years of entrepreneurship, community leadership, and a lifelong connection to the outdoors. Before becoming a realtor, I launched and operated BLOCS, the largest bouldering gym in Alberta, where I managed marketing, events, and operations. Leading a startup has strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, deliver exceptional client experiences, and guide complex projects from idea to execution.

With a degree in Communications and hands-on business experience, I bring strong expertise in marketing, clear communication, and skilled negotiation to ensure your real estate goals are met with confidence and success.

Having relocated to Nelson myself, I understand the excitement and the overwhelm that can come with starting fresh in a new community. I bought my first home by the time I was 30, so I know firsthand how daunting the process can feel, especially for first-time buyers. Supporting people through big transitions and helping them experience the mountain lifestyle that drew me here is one of the most rewarding parts of my work.

Outside of real estate, you’ll find me climbing, biking, skiing, or at the lake doing the activities that keep me connected to the lifestyle that makes this area so special.

Client Testimonials

Kristine is a passionate and dedicated realtor. She worked with me every step of the way to purchasing my new home. What I appreciated most about working with Kristine was that she helped me navigate my way through removing the conditions. She also answered my texts, emails and phone calls at all times of the day, which I so appreciated! I highly recommend Kristine whether you’re buying or selling property.

What an incredible human!!

Kristine was with us every step of the way in the journey of purchasing our first home.

Kristine makes you feel confident about each stage of the process and is always by your side. She really cares about her clients. Super professional, responsive, and supportive. She is the kind of industry power house we need, where the value is in the people, not the money.

Thank you for making our dreams come true!
