As a mother of two sons, I am passionate about pairing the perfect rental or sales home with my clients. My journey in real estate began in 1990 when I built my first house. This kick-started a series of builds that let to securing a major renovations contract with Transnet Housing in 1995. With a strong background in sales and marketing, I have traveled extensively across the country to secure contracts in various industries.
