More about Anita

I’m situated in the Garden Route, as we call it Garden of Eden. We have the amazing mountains, lakes and the beautiful beaches. Many of the areas still have nature at their doorstep. If you want to get out of the buzz of the big cities, then the Garden Route is the place for you. I got involved in real estate to be able to assist and educate buyers and sellers in order to ensure that my customers make educated and responsible decisions when they buy or sell property. It gives me great pleasure to see happy customers and helping people make their dreams come true with their dream home or property. My clients are not just a client, but I see them as my friends for life.

What every buyer should know before signing an Offer to Purchase

09 Sep 2024

An Offer to Purchase (OTP) is a legally binding agreement between a buyer and a seller in a property transaction. Once both parties sign the OTP, it finalizes the terms of sale, including the purchase price, property description, and any special conditions. Buyers can withdraw under certain conditions, but doing so without meeting the terms may lead to penalties. It’s crucial for both buyers and sellers to review the document carefully before signing to avoid legal and financial complications.
