More about Tim & Caron

Tim & Caron founded Home & Away Properties in 2005 and have successfully operated their boutique real estate agency for the last 10 years focusing on the Kenridge, De Bron, Durbanville Hills and Durbanville areas. They recently decided to join an international brand and the backing of Harcourts Select is exactly what suits their needs.

Tim & Caron always say there is more to buying, selling or renting a property than a piece of paper. Finding a suitable real estate solution is a delicate balance between cost, comfort and location. Compromising on any of these factors could have devastating consequences on your finances and ultimately your quality of life. When nurturing a transaction, from a basic rental to the buying or selling of a valuable property; you need someone who understands the human element. You need a realtor that appreciates the fact that securing the best possible outcome is, in the long run, a lot more beneficial than simply sinking a sale. Yet, most importantly, you need to feel that peace of mind that comes with knowing that your interests are protected and that you are involved and updated every step of the way.

With a strong association in the community and an excellent reputation, Tim & Caron’s service is defined by professionalism and compassion; they recognize that their steadiness is secured by delivering a spotless real estate experience to each and every one of their clients. “We are focused on keeping our service levels high at every given time. One of our beliefs is to always be punctual and we believe constant communication is the art to success”.

Tim & Caron encourage buyers and sellers to make use of their professional services. Should you intend buying, selling, renting or would like to receive property tips, new Northern Suburb releases, investment opportunities and off-plan developments please email timandcaron.upton@harcourts.co.za and become one of their valued and satisfied clients.
