More about Dennis

I have a confession to make. I don’t sell property. I’m a professional property match-maker, between a buyer’s wants, needs and properties that meet at least +80% of her wants and needs.

In my opinion it is a myth that agents sell a property. My task as match-maker is to use my knowledge of the area to expose the right buyer to the right property and let the property sells itself. My expertise is negotiating the deal that both a buyer and seller can live with.

Using the abovementioned mythology most of my sales happen in a less than a week. I recently sold in Hazelwood property that was not on the market to a buyer who has not viewed the R 12 mil property in an area with a median house price of R 3.5 mil.

If you are a seller who considers listing your property think hard if you want to LIST it or SELL it. If it is the latter I’m your agent.

If you are a buyer you have to decide if you want to Look at a property or Buy a property. Save yourself the effort of viewing 50 places that don’t meet 10% of your needs by calling ME

For the past 14 years I have been a shareholder and estate agent with Harcourts Capital and my expertise includes residential- and commercial sales and developments with focus on Old East, Pretoria.
