What inspired you to become a real estate agent?
I have always had a strong interest in property, and before selling my restaurant at Howick Falls, I registered as a real estate agent. Growing up in the Midlands allowed me to build strong relationships with local people and farmers throughout the area.
How long have you been a real estate agent?
Since 2008.
What locations or regions do your property listings cover?
All of the KZN Midlands, but mostly Howick and its outlying areas.
What specific property market do you specialise in, and what drew you to this particular type of real estate?
I specialise in the residential rental market, as well as commercial leasing. At the outset of my estate agency career, I visited farmers who were interested in selling, and I was often asked if I could find a tenant for a cottage on their farm. That is how I began working in the rental side of real estate.
Which type of property do you most enjoy listing—lifestyle, freestanding homes, complexes, anything residential —and why?
I enjoy listing all types of rental properties, particularly those that are already well maintained and presented. Properties that require some improvement also present a rewarding challenge, as I enjoy helping owners prepare them for the rental market.
What makes your service stand out from other agents?
With many years of experience in the rental market, I stay up to date with constantly changing regulations. I focus on building strong relationships with both landlords and tenants, ensuring landlords have a reliable and trustworthy agent to care for their property, while tenants can be confident that their rental home will be well maintained.
For those looking to get in touch, what is the most efficient way to reach you? Also, are you available for urgent messages during evenings and weekends?
The best way to contact me is via cellphone. If I am unable to answer right away due to being with a client, a WhatsApp message is preferred. I am available on weekends for calls or WhatsApp messages, although I do not take calls after 6:00 pm on weekends. WhatsApp messages are always welcome.
Let’s find the perfect rental solution for you. I specialize in aligning the interests of owners and tenants to create lasting value. With years of top-tier expertise, I am happy to assist with any real estate inquiries you may have. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
