More about Marilize

Being an entrepreneur at heart, I utilized my previous experience in the Media industry as a Television Producer together with my degree in Communications and Journalism, to start several of my own businesses. In 2004 I decided to make a career change and ventured into the Real Estate Industry. I opened up Kainos Properties in Welgemoed, Bellville.

I took Welgemoed on as my primary farming area, as I have been a resident of the area for more than 30 years. I have since been part of many families and their property related stories. As Principal of Kainos Properties, I have a team of experienced, enthusiastic, and professional property consultants working with me. Kainos Properties has been serving the Northern Suburbs and Atlantic seaboard for the past 21 years with excellent results.

I always say, “We do not sell property, we manage expectations.” Looking forward to being at your service.
