Harcourts Patrick & Co / Non-Principal Property Practitioner

More about Irene

I am Pietermaritzburg born and bred, and have always appreciated the beautiful architecture in this unique city which has so efficiently staged Royal Shows, biking events, Comrades Marathons and Canoe races.

Having spent many years in the Bank where I dealt with the processing of new bonds as well as further advances, it was a natural progression to spend time in something that I really wanted to do which is Real Estate. I have now spent more than 10 years in this pleasurable environment, learn new things every day and enjoy the participation of dealing with satisfied clients.

I thank my Principals for the excellent training and guidance that has been afforded me over the years which I have found invaluable.

I do hope that I will meet many more clients in the future who I am able to assist with their property needs
