More about Gary

With over 25 years of experience in credit and property finance, I bring a wealth of knowledge to both the commercial and residential property sectors. My background includes a Financial Management Diploma and a Certificate in Commercial Property Practice, and I am a proud member of the Chartered Institute of Credit Management.

Throughout my career, I’ve specialized in commercial and industrial property lending, including large-scale developments such as retail shopping centres and mixed-use projects. As a key member of the Nedbank Property Finance Team, I contributed to a landmark achievement in 2014, helping generate a profit of R1.2 billion.

My approach to real estate is relationship-driven. I connect with clients through personal interactions—whether it's a face-to-face meeting or targeted marketing materials—always aiming to provide a service that is both professional and approachable. My goal is to be recognized as a top-performing agent, known for offering expert guidance and comprehensive knowledge of the ever-evolving property market.

I’m passionate about the long-term potential and versatility of this industry, and I’m committed to helping clients navigate it with confidence.
