My career in real estate spans 28 years, both as a Manager and a salesperson. Initially, 18 years selling in South Africa where I had considerable success - Agent of the Month, Agent of the Year and Best All Rounder being just some of my awards.

My career in real estate spans 28 years, both as a Manager and a salesperson. Initially, 18 years selling in South Africa where I had considerable success - Agent of the Month, Agent of the Year and Best All Rounder being just some of my awards. Over the last 10 years as a manager in New Zealand, I’ve come to know the many suburbs of Auckland. It is a city rich in diverse cultures, friendly people and a huge range of things to see and do.

The unique thing about real estate is that while everyone’s needs and perspectives are different, we all want the same result – to get the best outcome when buying and selling property. Working with a diverse range of people, both clients and colleagues, makes it an exciting environment with endless learning opportunities.

Barfoot & Thompson is at the forefront of technology-led solutions, demonstrated in their strong commitment to developing, enhancing and investing in new cutting-edge tools for their staff. This forward-thinking approach leads to increased productivity and a sense of pride from employees as they feel empowered to easily deliver outstanding client service. The company’s current market share in the Auckland and Northland regions is 40%. This means that one in three houses in Auckland is sold by Barfoot & Thompson. This makes for a great buying and selling experience for my clients.

The Eastern suburbs of Auckland have been home for me and my family since we emigrated from South Africa 14 years ago. In my spare time, family life takes centre stage and I indulge in the things I love – gardening, cooking, reading and looking after our pets. If ever you see a couple of people in a Can-Am Spyder, exploring the beautiful countryside of the Auckland isthmus, it could be my husband and I getting away for a few hours. The SPCA, Starship, Hospice and the Coast Guard are charities I like to support.

I speak English and Afrikaans and you’ll find me at Barfoot & Thompson Howick. Call or email me and we’ll get to work on your property goals!
