More about Elisabeth

HOUSE.HOME.HEART. and HORSES says it all for me. I found my niche in 1992 when friends here and abroad asked us to find them renovator’s dreams too when they saw how much fun we had buying and selling old houses that have fallen on hard times and turned them into warm and inviting homes. I have never learnt how to “sell” anything but with a passion for people and property, matching comes naturally. I am a farm girl at heart and more comfortable in the saddle where I get inspired by nature, creating thoughts necessary to match our clients requirements. I am so fortunate that my daughter Lisa joined us Girls at Kapstadt and I love every moment working with her by my side.
