More about Alvina

I have been in the real estate industry since April 2013. The Property Market was totally new industry to me as I came from the Fitness Industry (Personal trainer) and prior to that many years of office experience in varied positions. All my previous working experience has been people orientated jobs. Working as a personal trainer, massage therapist, plant controller, administrator, secretary, office manager put me in a position of having to deal with people at all levels as well as different ethic group, different ages groups on a daily basis.

All of this previous experience has made my transition into the Real Estate Industry an easy one. I think my best personality trait is that I am a good listener and I learnt very quickly that being in the Real Estate Industry this is one of the most important things. Listen to both your seller and buyers requirements/ specification because at the end of the day it is them who are selling or buying not you. Because I am such a peoples person I took to dealing with clients like a duck to water.

I believe in continuing education and have spent many hours training, learning and refining my skill so that I can better serve you as my buyer/seller. I have completed my NQF4 as well as my PDE4 qualifying me as Full Status Agent. I also have had the privilege of working at SA Home Loans gaining me the experience on the process of home loan application.

I can assure you that if i am giving the opportunity for you to become my client you will be assured of the best service moving forward with your property requirements.
