A very proud and slightly surreal moment for me and our team!

I’ll be featured on Carte Blanche tomorrow evening at 7pm on M Net as part of their story on Cape Town’s changing coastline and property landscape.

It was a privilege welcoming the Carte Blanche team to our Harcourts Atlantic office and sharing some of my insight and experience from working in the local property market.

Tune in tomorrow night. I’m excited to see the full story!

The first quarter of the year has flown by, and one thing is clear…

Stock remains low, and buyer demand is still incredibly strong.

As we move into Q2, we may start to see more properties coming to market as the Airbnb season comes to an end and sellers look to exit while prices remain high. That said, I don’t see any softening in prices just yet. Demand is still being driven by semigration and continued interest from foreign buyers looking for prime investment and lifestyle properties.

From a personal perspective, it’s been a very productive summer with just under R80 million in concluded sales, 95% of which were achieved through our Non-Distressed Luxury Auction platform.

I’ve also got two exciting opportunities coming up:
- A modern penthouse in Green Point is going on auction next week
- And a standout Camps Bay property launching soon with strong income potential

If you’d like more information on either or you’re considering selling in the current market, feel free to reach out.

On the podcast, Igno Vivier shared how he first got interested in property auctions.

Years ago, while attending a compulsory EAAB training day, he listened to a presentation by Jo Van Rienen from High Street Auctions. Most people in the room thought auctions would never work in the South African market.

But it immediately caught his attention.

Through Harcourts’ international network, Igno saw how auctions were already a normal way of selling property in markets like Australia and New Zealand.

Around 2018 or 2019, it started to feel like the timing was right for South Africa.

At a time when everyone was talking about disruption in real estate through low fee agencies, Igno believed auctions were the real disruptor.

One thing I’ve learnt in real estate is that pricing is almost everything.

If a property is priced correctly, it will sell.

The challenge is often managing expectations. Sellers sometimes have a number in mind that isn’t always aligned with the data or the market.

That’s where our job as agents comes in. Looking at the evidence, understanding the market, and guiding the pricing strategy throughout the campaign.

When the pricing is right, everything else becomes a lot easier.

Sometimes the old school approach still works.

I couldn’t get an email or any contact details for a property owner, so I sent a handwritten letter instead.

It stood out straight away because almost nobody does that anymore.

Funny thing in real estate… a board goes up, a sold sign goes up, and often the neighbours never hear a word about it.
