More about Ronel

I started my property career at a Commercial and Retail letting company. I worked there for 13 years in the financial/admin department. This sparked my interest for the industry as I truly loved what I did.

With deep roots in Port Elizabeth and a heart for serving others I decided to do residential letting. I have been doing this for the past 14 years. I strive to get the best market related rental income for my Property Investors renting out their properties. It also gives me great pleasure to find the correct property for all my clients looking to rent a property.

Problem solving is part of my daily tasks. I deal with it professionally all the time.

We at Only Realty Coastal Properties assist Property Investors and clients all over Nelson Mandela Bay.

Please feel free to contact me to make your next property move a success.
