My involvement with retirement villages started with my first working appointment 35 years ago at ACVV Head Office. In 1989 I started working at Panorama Palms (previously SASSAR) and from then my involvement grew to other retirement villages and my passion for senior citizens, retirement villages and properties grew to what I am today.
I’m blessed with a wonderful family, a work that I’m passionate about (en waarin ek my kan uitleef) and where I received so much more in return on various levels; it was more than I ever thought possible..
For years I was managing a one-man business with great success, but I have enlarged my business by appointing an Office Manager (Alicia Kotzé), a Financial Manager (Gussie Goncalves) and Property Practitioners (Sunette Schlemmert, Shani Teepe as well as Alicia Kotzé) to help with daily growing enquiries regarding accommodation in retirement villages. Our dynamic Team in the office consist of Lynn Marais & Madeleine Wait.
Although there are opportunities to enlarge my business, I prefer to keep it to such a size that I can be “hands on” and involved at all times to ensure that we provide the best possible service and to provide my knowledge, that I have built up over years, to enable my clients to make the best possible decision that is suitable for their individual needs.
We are involved with the sales at 18 Retirement Villages in the northern suburbs of Cape Town and are administrating the rentals of 180 units in retirement villages.
