More about Marko

Hi, I’m Marko! I kicked off my real estate career in Johannesburg back in 2010 at just 21 years old, eager and ready to dive into the industry. Now, 14 years later, and after relocating provinces, I’m proud to have successfully closed over 800 registered sales.

In 2020, my partner and I joined The Real Estate Company, and since then, we’ve experienced fantastic success in both sales and rentals. By 2022, we took on the role of Rental Managers, and since then, we’ve grown our portfolio to over 90 properties. We manage homes for landlords who have either moved abroad or relocated within South Africa.

I’m passionate about what I do and love meeting new people along the way. This industry has taught me valuable lessons in patience and adaptability, and I thrive on being able to think on my feet.

If you’re looking for a blend of professionalism and personality, feel free to reach out—I’d love to help you with your real estate needs!
