Harcourts Rustenburg / Non-Principal Property Practitioner

More about Janet

I believe that life begins at the end of your comfort zone and that’s how my success story began! Constant canvassing, cold calling and farming is what has driven me to be noticed on our national portals: P24 and Private Property and in saying that I have grown extensively in Rustenburg and my passion is Commercial Leasing and Sales. Not only am I involved with local businesses but national companies are my forte. Harcourts Rustenburg Sales dominates 40% of the market share in the leasing side which is a phenominal achievement and I am not stopping there.

I consider myself an excellent listing agent which helps the landlord/s to get their property leased out no matter the size or price. If you want the ‘job’ done then you’ve come to the right Property Practitioner and that’s me.

If you are a landlord or tenant it does not matter you can rely on me for advice with regards to pricing for leasing and selling.
