More about Elizabeth

I launched Fine & Country Midrand in 2011, a formidable achievement to take on the immense challenge of bringing an international brand into an area where I had resided for 22 years at the time. Expanding into Knysna two years later was a natural progression. My entrepreneurial skills as a business owner, 10 years in the advertising sector underpinned by my love for all things ‘luxury’, the brand afforded me the ability to position myself in the upper quartile of the market and more specifically within the secure lifestyle estates. In 2020 we re-homed to our bespoke office in Kyalami Corner Shopping Centre which has been a proud milestone during this incredible journey.

That’s slightly down from 1.0% in November, bringing the annual average to 0.8%—a dip from the 1.5% recorded in 2023. While this may seem underwhelming, it’s in line with expert predictions.
