EXPERTISE & QUALIFICATIONS

I opened the doors of Harcourts Simon's Bay in 2010 and am still the proud franchise owner of an office that continues to grow year on year. I have been in the Real Estate industry for over 27 years and have achieved both NQF 4 and NQF 5 qualifications. I, like all the property consultants in the Harcourts Simon's Bay office hold a valid Fidelity Fund Certificate.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME:

I was an assistant to a successful estate agent for a year. He suggested that I become an agent myself, as I was very interested in real estate and could earn a lot more money as an agent. I took his advice and started as an agent in 1993 and here I am, a successful estate agent and business owner today.
