More about Gerrit

I have been in the real estate industry for more than 10 years now. My focus is on selling farms and smallholdings in the Cape Winelands area. Operating from the beautiful rural town of Paarl I utilise my degree in Agriculture (obtained from Stellenbosch University) as well as my required PPRA NQF4 qualification to successfully market the property the sellers mandated me to.

Armed with years of experience and expertise I assist people to own and enjoy the agricultural property that's right for them. Providing a personal touch to each transaction my clientele can confirm my business principles are based on commitment, quality, integrity, reliability and enthusiasm, underpinned by professionalism.

When it is time for me to relax, I love cycling, hiking in the nearby mountains, being an armchair sports enthusiast and to enjoy time with family and friends.

Being part of a vibrant company culture at Home and Hectare within the BKB Group, I invite you to experience my set of values if you are interested in buying or selling agricultural property to make your next real estate experience a rewarding one.
