Specialising in:

Services:

Rental Placement | Property Management | Sales | Investment Support | Tenant & Landlord Guidance

I help landlords, tenants, buyers, and sellers in the Cape Agulhas region achieve reliable property results through hands-on service, local expertise, and consistent communication.

With over a decade of experience in the property industry, I specialise in rentals, sales, and property management across Agulhas, Struisbaai, Suiderstrand, Bredasdorp, and Napier. As a registered Property Practitioner with Harcourts Cape Agulhas, I have built a reputation for professionalism, reliability, and a client-focused approach.

I currently manage a portfolio of over 60 long-term rental properties, giving me in-depth knowledge of rental trends, tenant management, and investment performance. I also oversee a select portfolio of holiday homes, maintaining long-standing relationships with owners built on trust and consistent service.

In addition to rentals, I assist clients with property sales—leveraging strong negotiation skills and local market insight to achieve optimal results. I have successfully supported landlords, tenants, buyers, and sellers, building lasting relationships through clear communication and dependable service.

My approach is practical and hands-on: I guide clients through every step, from pricing and marketing to tenant placement, buyer matching, and negotiations—ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience from start to finish.

What I value most is helping clients relocate to our beautiful region. Going the extra mile to make each transition seamless is incredibly important to me. For me, success is not just about closing deals—it’s about helping people find a place to call home.
