More about Anita

I’m situated in the Garden Route, as we call it Garden of Eden. We have the amazing mountains, lakes and the beautiful beaches. Many of the areas still have nature at their doorstep. If you want to get out of the buzz of the big cities, then the Garden Route is the place for you.

I got involved in real estate to be able to assist and educate buyers and sellers in order to ensure that my customers make educated and responsible decisions when they buy or sell property. It gives me great pleasure to see happy customers and helping people make their dreams come true with their dream home or property. My clients are not just a client, but I see them as my friends for life.
