After spending many years in business, I joined the property industry in 2016 and am a fully qualified property practitioner based in Ballito, covering the Dolphin Coast. Having recently joined Trafalgar, I am looking forward to being of service and driving sales in the Ballito and North Coast area. I have gained experience in selling and marketing various properties such as residential homes, apartments, new developments, and farms. With the phenomenal growth in community living estates and apartments, the need to gain knowledge of community living grew and I recently completed the Advanced Course in Sectional Title Management and the Community Schemes Ombud Services act. I have built my career by being service orientated, trustworthy, consistent, and reliable and strive to build long-term relationships through honesty and integrity.
