More about Sharon

Entrenchment and Commitment is my personal motto for the clients to know that should they have a property to either sell or buy and they will know I am the “go to person” I have been working in sales since 1990 and one of the most important key factors of my success is the clients experience when working with me.

My passion is walking alongside our Buyers and Sellers and assisting them on their property journey in fulfilling their dreams in finding their home or selling their home. It is all about listening and paying attention to our clients in what their needs and aspirations is.

I specialize in a small fishing town called Velddrif based on the beautiful West Coast of the Western Cape. Velddrif is made up of Port Owen, Laaiplek, Noordhoek and Dwarskersbos. It is the only town on the West Coast where the Berg River flows into the magnificent Atlantic Ocean. I love water and you will often find me kayaking or swimming in the cold Atlantic Ocean. I am involved in our community in assisting our teams with the local feeding programme to the local community in Noordhoek.

Do you have a question about the area that I can answer.
