For me, as a rural and residential salesperson, there’s nothing more satisfying than orchestrating that perfect match of people and property. After I hand over the keys, I know that, together with family and friends, life-long memories will be created.

I live on a lifestyle block between Coatesville and Riverhead so joining the team at Barfoot & Thompson Coatesville was a perfect fit for me. Importantly too, I like the fact that this is a company with family and community at its heart.

I completed a Diploma in Business Studies (Marketing) at Massey University and also gained a NZ Certificate in Direct Marketing (Merit Pass). These qualifications lead me to a career in senior marketing and management roles for some of New Zealand’s best-known brands and advertising agencies – believe me, I dealt with some incredibly challenging and demanding clients! The upside of this part of my working life is I developed the ability to create stand-out marketing campaigns and hone my client service ethos.

I pay great attention to detail, have a sharp eye for design, and I absolutely love working with our marketing team to give your property the absolute best chance of standing out from the competition and getting noticed by your target market. As well as being a seasoned property trader and renovator, I’m also a lover of all things country. There’s always a pair of gumboots at the ready, and I relish the opportunity to advise and assist in getting properties ready to go on the market, help find the right contractor or tradesperson for properties out this way, and advise on the transition to rural living for those who are new to it.

If you’re looking for your own slice of paradise, you’ll find it in the Rodney District. It’s just a short drive to both the East and West Coast beaches, and whether you want to catch a magnificent sunset, explore Woodhill or Riverhead forests, sample some great local wines, take to the water on the upper harbour or coastline, or simply enjoy countryside living, there are so many options for you and your family to enjoy life here.

Alongside my work, my life is shared with my two horses and border collie - I absolutely love getting them out and about for local adventures! I also have a keen interest in classic cars, and am in the process of restoring my old Ford Mustang. My partner, Angus is a well-known motorsport personality, so together we have a focus on preparation, perseverance, performance and getting the job done fast – plus an extensive network within of contacts within the motoring fraternity.

In closing, I’m passionate about doing a great job, making a real difference, getting outstanding results and giving my clients a seamless experience. Call me at Barfoot & Thompson, the best little real estate office in Coatesville!
