A little bit about Maja Foster

When entrusting someone with your most valuable asset, your home or an investment property, along with all the hopes and dreams or financial aspirations that you lovingly poured into it, you most certainly want to know a little more about that "someone".

My name is Maja (yup, like Maja The Bee). I have always had a passion for property. I bought my first investment property in 1999. I was 25 years old. I had just finished my degree in Fashion Design and discovered that with a salary I could start paving a way to my financial freedom, by investing in real-estate. Within 5 years I bought another 13 properties. I managed my own properties, dealing with tenants, managing agents and body corporates and when a property did not fulfill the criteria of my investment portfolio, I sold it. I also bought my dream home, where I had lovingly poured my heart and sould into. There is a MASSIVE difference between your home and an investment property. I understand that all too well. I manage to navigate that every day with my clients and in my personal life. I understand that buying or selling a home comes with a very different mind set and bundle of emotions to buying or selling an investment property. I can help you navigate that.

I left the Fashion Industry in 2006 and permanently went into the real-estate business. I lived and worked in Blaauwberg and enjoyed a prosperous career in the property industry. I only left the property industry to help in our family business and to take care of my small children....but I missed my passion (I cannot call it a job). So now that my children are a little older and don't need me as much I decided to return to my true love, the world of real-estate. 

I am now based in Somerset West again for the past 2 and a half years (I lived here before moving to Blaauwberg). My children go to school here. My roots are here. 

I believe that my passion for property will serve you well. I understand the eco-system of the real-estate world very well. I have dealt with and extensively worked with buyers, sellers, investors, body corporates, managing agents, tenants, conveyancing attorneys, compliance contractors and bond originators. I also know that my creative background in fashion helps me see the beauty and potential in every home and my drive for financial freedom helps me see the opportunities in every investment property. 

I'd love to go on this journey with you, to be that "someone", whether you are buying your first "little place" or you are buying your dream home into your Family Trust or whether you are buying your next asset into your comapany, 

Let me share my knowledge and experience with you.
