More about Colin

My passion for property and real estate goes back decades. After a 20-year career in architecture, I took the leap into real estate when an exciting opportunity presented itself. Those years of experience have stood me in good stead for assessing property opportunities and pitfalls. I was only interested in embarking on the property journey with a highly professional and reputable real estate agency: and so chose Jawitz Properties, a brand I truly believe in. My background fuses with my career in real estate, and gives me a ‘sixth sense’ and a great understanding of homes and buildings: both residential and commercial. I grew up and have always lived in the central north of Johannesburg and know the areas I work in well. I live in Greenside and head up the suburb’s Heritage Portfolio. I love my daily interactions with both buyers and sellers.
