Ms. Charlotte Rouse is a Top 1% Agent in worldwide sales for Coldwell Banker Elite . Her commitment to serving the needs of her clients is superior and there’s a reason she was named one of the Top Realtors in the region for the last nine years. Charlottes has been a member of the Gwyneth’s Gift Board of Directors since 2020. “I joined the Board because the mission of Gwyneth’s Gift is close to my heart. The need for AED equipment and CPR training is real and I’m proud to support my friends Joel and Jennifer Griffin”.

Charlotte is originally from Sweden and her grandparents were Dutch, so she speaks three languages fluently – Swedish, Dutch, and English. In her free time, Charlotte enjoys spending time with her family and two daughters, playing tennis (did you catch the Rouse Rally at the YMCA last month?), and traveling.
