Margaret Charnley

Property Manager

Email Margaret

As the daughter of a British Army Warrant Officer, Margaret spent her early years moving every 6 months to 2 years—an experience that shaped her remarkable adaptability and resilience. Together with her husband of 47 years, she lived and worked across Europe and West Africa before settling in Tropical North Queensland 26 years ago.

Over the years, Margaret has mastered the ability to remain calm under pressure and take charge in stressful situations—an essential skillset in the dynamic world of property management. With a strong sense of fairness (perhaps rooted in the childhood trauma of always being picked last for netball), a natural ability to mediate, and a keen eye for detail, Margaret is passionate about achieving the best outcomes for both owners and tenants.

With a career in real estate that began in her early 20s, Margaret remains a consummate professional who brings energy, empathy, and a wealth of experience to her role. Never one to sit still (she even uses a standing desk), Margaret enjoys staying active, spending time with her family—including a spirited Jack Russell—and continuing to do what she loves.

 

A big shout-out to Margaret and the rental team at CPO! Renting can be stressful, especially when relocating. Margaret went above and beyond in supporting our complex transition.
