RealNet Paarl
Why did you decide to pursue a career in property?
People with their diverse lifestyles and architecture and interior design preferences have always interested and intrigued me. But I’m also an entrepreneur at heart so becoming a real estate professional seemed like the most obvious choice. What is more, working in real estate creates a very real opportunity to change people’s lives and make their dreams come true.
What do you find to be the most enjoyable and the most challenging aspects of the job?
One of the most rewarding aspects of the career is to have all the complexities of a real estate transaction concluded and leave all the parties pleased and content with the end results and especially the service I provided.
What characteristics, in your opinion, make for a great estate agent/broker and why?
Surely one of the greatest characteristics of a top achieving real estate professional is perseverance or ‘staying power’. This gives rise to consistent hard work, self-discipline and self-motivation. Also essential are the ability to really listen to the needs of a client, the ability to respond quickly and the ability to make maximum use of all the technology at hand today to deliver great service and stay in touch with the supporters of your business.
What are some of your career goals?
My heart’s desire and dream goal is to intertwine my career activities and the beautiful picturesque surroundings of the Western Cape to such an extent that every day feels like a working holiday. I also want to be part of some of the biggest real estate transactions in the Paarl, Wellington and Franschhoek areas.
