More about Orten

I have been in and around property in different roles and forms for the past 20 years there is something truly special about land and buildings I’ve always loved seeing potential and watching dreams get realized and this is something that happens or has the capacity to happen often when we are dealing with property and buildings. I love seeing new life being blown into a building being restored or to see building that may not be up to one person standard be a dream realizing in front of our very eyes for another person this is the world I can enjoy working in and where I can relate.

I have a BCom Degree in Communication Management and some other less relevant qualifications including some in the security industry.

The flexi time that comes through dealing in properties affords me the incredible opportunity to indulge some of my other passions starting firstly starting with family and branching out from there. Being able to serve in my community through various stable and long-term platforms. We often have the incredible opportunity to leave a lasting effect on people’s lives...anything from assisting in old age care speaking at schools with young minds trying to breathe life into what sometimes seems to be a very low expectations of what they can and cannot achieve to food distribution.

In a nutshell I’m a family man through and through. I enjoy serving in places where I can have a lasting effect and I love being able to sell dreams that has the full blown capacity of becoming very real and by the grace of God and if it's part of His plan, I have every intention of expanding as far and high as I can reach without losing what is important along the way.
