Harcourts Hilton

Get to know Shirley

I am proud to be part of the dynamic team at Harcourts Hilton, a company I consider my professional family. Since joining in 2013, I have built a strong reputation as a trusted property professional in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. I am a Full Status Agent registered with the Estate Agents Board, having achieved my NQF4 qualification and successfully completed the PDE examination.

Based in Hilton, I specialise in retirement estates, lifestyle estates, and residential property in the Midlands, with a particular focus on St John’s Village and the Karkloof area. As a resident of St John’s Village, I offer clients first-hand knowledge of the estate, positioning me as a trusted estate specialist for buyers and sellers looking to invest in secure, lifestyle-focused estate living. I am proud to have achieved the highest recorded sale price in St John’s Village to date, reflecting my ability to deliver exceptional results within the estate.

Over the years, I have successfully listed and sold property across Pietermaritzburg, Hilton, Merrivale, and Howick, achieving over R200 million in gross sales. My expertise includes homes for sale in lifestyle estates, retirement villages, and secure estates in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, where demand for quality estate living continues to grow.

Prior to real estate, I enjoyed a successful 23-year career in the textile industry. I spent 15 years as a Marketing and Product Development Manager working with international export markets and major retailers, before being appointed Director of Whiteheads Fabrics in Tongaat. I studied Textile Design in London, earning a Diploma in Art and Design, and began my career with David Whitehead & Sons, travelling internationally to research trends and present to leading retail buyers.

Real estate has been a natural progression for me. With patience, professionalism, and a genuine understanding of people, I have built long-standing relationships with my clients. Referrals form the foundation of my business and are a testament to the trust and confidence my clients place in me.

Outside of property, I enjoy gardening, home décor, and camping—my happy places.

Whether you are looking to buy or sell property in St John’s Village, invest in a retirement estate in the Karkloof, or explore lifestyle estate living in Hilton and the Midlands, I am committed to providing expert guidance, local insight, and a seamless property experience.
