About Louise

Houses have always held a fascination for me. Ever since I was a child I always wondered what was going on inside. I think it was the fact that a house enveloped the people who lived in it providing them with security, safety and warmth. I still feel like that today, particularly about brick and tile properties! Prior to real estate, working in the UK, I was lucky enough to be involved in some of the largest manufacturing industries in the world. From the "buzz" of providing health and safety products for 10,000 workers on a Toyota assembly line to the individual requirements of Rolls Royce Aerospace work or creating a bespoke product for five workers who produced the revered Bentley motorcars, these unique opportunities were stimulating and challenging. I completed a diploma in marketing which has proved to be invaluable in my sales career. Good communication and an eye for detail help me to provide a complete rounded service for owners and also to ensure that tenants feel secure and listened to. What I love about Barfoot & Thompson is that it is a family business and their values are practiced on a daily basis. Hauraki has been home for me since 1995, so travelling to work in Milford is an absolute dream. Living in a household of rugby league fans I am involved whether I like it or not! I enjoy running along the beach and really believe that we live in a paradise. I admire the expertise and professionalism of the team at Milford. They are experienced and between them can answer all your questions, whether they relate to Healthy Homes, current rental trends and valuations or tenancy legalities. Part of my role is to provide detailed rental appraisals. Feel free to contact me to discuss any of your property needs.

A pleasant experience for house renting

I highly recommend Christine Lin for her outstanding professionalism, patience and attention to detail throughout my rental search in Auckland. A week before I arrived in New Zealand, I asked a friend to view the property on my behalf. Christine responded promptly, arranged the viewing and communicated with me by video call, giving me a clear and helpful introduction to the property. After I arrived in Auckland, she continued to respond quickly and arranged viewings of two properties so that I could compare them carefully. She listened to my family’s needs, provided practical advice and communicated proactively with the landlord. Thanks to her efficiency and support, I was able to secure a suitable home within one week, which also allowed me to begin my daughter’s school enrolment process without delay. Christine made what could have been a stressful experience smooth and reassuring. I truly appreciate her patience, responsiveness and professionalism, and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking to rent a home in Auckland.
