Originally from South Africa, Charise has called New Zealand home for almost seven years and joined Barfoot & Thompson Milford after relocating to Auckland in late 2025.

Working closely alongside Scott Mackenzie, she plays a key role in ensuring every campaign runs smoothly, bringing a calm, reliable, and highly organised approach to each client interaction.

Based in Takapuna, with her children attending local schools, Charise is deeply connected to the North Shore community and enjoys getting out and about exploring everything the area has to offer.

She is passionate about building genuine relationships and supporting people through important life transitions, whether they are upsizing, downsizing, or stepping into a new chapter. Clients value her clear communication, thoughtful follow-up, and steady presence throughout the process.
