This agent achieved $10m in commission

Although never intending to become a real estate agent – she started her career as a grade 2 teacher – Kobie Potgieter has consistently been a top real estate professional

Potgieter, broker and owner of RE/MAX Independent Properties in Nelson Mandela Bay, was recently awarded a Circle of Legends career award at the RE/MAX of Southern Africa Awards. Potgieter is one of only five people in Southern Africa to achieve this prestigious accolade.

One of three different career awards given by RE/MAX International, the Circle of Legends was first presented in 1987, with a current requirement of achieving $10m in gross commission and a minimum of 10 years of service with RE/MAX.

Potgieter has been invited to attend the RE/MAX International Convention, which will be held this year in Las Vegas, to be recognised on stage as a career award recipient. Potgieter is focused on transferring her knowledge and skills to ensure that she leaves a lasting legacy. “I want to continue to run a sustainable, profitable business and provide my agents with the tools and guidance to achieve financial freedom,” she says.
