Whilst this is her first role in the property sector, Charmaine demonstrates many transferable skills especially from her time as a Troubleshooting manager for a national high street jewellers. Charmaine also has personal experience of the property industry as she is a buy-to-let developer, where she and her husband purchase dilapidated properties and complete full refurbishments which they then rent out to tenants. This has certainly given Charmaine an empathetic understanding towards our clients when going through the purchase and selling of a home.

She also has a soft spot for Devon so any opportunity to visit and they’re off! What you probably didn’t know about Charamine is that she lives on a farm, fully embracing rural life. She is also a qualified beauty therapist!
