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.

Good understanding of the rental market

Louise at Barfoot & Thompson, Milford has handled my rental property for four years now. In that time I have found Louise to have a very professional manner, be "on to it" if any issue arises and is proactive in getting new tenants when a tenancy ends. I would recommend Barfoot & Thompson to other rental property owners. Paul

Emma Ye Agent

I had the pleasure of being a tenant with Barfoot Milford for approx 3 years particularly having the same property agent Emma during those years with two different properties in that timeframe. Emma is delightful and a breath of fresh air. She responds in a timely matter to issues in the property and comes up with solutions quickly. Emma is respectful in your home during inspections and adheres to your privacy. She values the tenant and the landlord, making it hassle free during interactions. Very grateful to have been apart of Emma’s clientele.

Another Seemless Re-Let

Kathryn at Barfoots Milford Branch has again managed another streamlined end of tenancy and start to a new tenancy. Clear communication around tenants notice and very regular feedback about viewings and applicants for the re-let. A successful outcome in a slightly quieter current environment. Thank you.
