More about Andries

Ek is Andries Radley, eiendoms spesialis by Home & Hectare gebaseer op Frankfort. My lewenspad het begin op 'n plaas in die Senekal-omgewing. Hier het ek grootgeword, omring deur die rykdom van die landelike lewe. Na my skooljare het ek 'n pad van kennis en ontwikkeling ingeslaan deur Landbou-ekonomie te studeer. Die laaste mylpaal was om 'n PhD in Landbou-ekonomie te voltooi.

My passie vir landbou het van 'n jong ouderdom af begin ontkiem en dit het nie lank geneem voordat ek my spesialisasie in Landboubesighede gevind het nie. Hierdie rigting het my diepte van insig in die industrie gegee en my gehelp om my loopbaan daarvolgens vorm te gee. In 2007 het ek 'n nuwe horison betree deur die voltooiing van die Eiendomsraad eksamens. Ek het die verkoop van eiendom beskou as 'n natuurlike uitbreiding van my kennis en ondervinding, en dit het my die geleentheid gebied om my boerderyondervinding en landbou-ekonomie opleiding te benut.

Die jaar 2010 was 'n keerpunt in my loopbaan. Nadat ek aan die einde van 2009 my posisie in die landboubesigheid verloor het, het ek die eerste ses maande van 2010 toegewy aan die voltydse verkoop van plase. Hierdie stap het my geleer om my vaardighede op 'n nuwe manier te benut en om 'n nuwe kant van die bedryf te verken. Tog het my passie vir landbou my binne 'n kort tydperk teruggelei na die landboubesigheid. Teen die einde van 2021, toe die roetine van my loopbaan se sonsondergang nader gekom het, het ek besluit om weer aktief betrokke te raak by die eiendomsverkope.

My toekomsplanne is helder en gefokus. Ek beplan om die volgende 10 tot 15 jaar van my lewe te wy aan die eiendomsverkoopbedryf. Hierin sien ek 'n geleentheid om my passie vir beide landbou en eiendom te vervul en om my kennis en ervaring aan ander mense oor te dra.

Selling an Overpriced Property: How to Bounce Back and Attract Buyers

18 Aug 2025

When it comes to selling a home, every property owner dreams of securing the best possible price. Unfortunately, one of the most common mistakes sellers make is setting the price too high. While it might seem like a good idea to “test the market,” overpricing can backfire, leaving a home stuck on the market for months, attracting little interest, and eventually forcing the seller to accept less than fair value.
