100 not out …….

In recent times, Real Estate has become an industry which is definitely not for the faint- hearted. Economic factors, The National Credit Act, interest rates and political instability have all contributed to significantly fewer property transactions in the past 24 months.

Greg Bisaro and Ivan Parnell of Basie Botha Eiendomme have proven however, that success can still be achieved in this turbulent sector.

The pair, who started working as a partnership in January 2007, have recently concluded their 100th successful property transaction together with sales exceeding R 100 million.

Bisaro and Parnell have received numerous awards to date and openly state that Real Estate has become a dedicated and professional career due to all the qualification criteria by implemented the Estate Agent Affairs Board and is no longer a hobby for bored housewives.

Both have completed their NQF4 qualifications as well as various comprehensive courses in selling, rentals, sectional title schemes and residential property valuations.

According to Bisaro and Parnell, a professional attitude, honesty and integrity are vital to success in Real Estate. They believe that a client should never be pressured into buying a particular home as it normally the single largest asset which a person will own. Any purchaser should never be seen as a quick sale but rather the start of a long relationship. The key is ascertaining a client’s specific needs and financial capabilities and sourcing a property to match those unique needs. The correct property will then sell itself.

A seller should be approached with the same concern and with accurate and truthful information regarding the value of the home which he is wanting to sell. Bisaro and Parnell often drive a client who is new to Nelpruit around the city in order to identify preferred suburbs, schools and amenities. This contributes in giving a client peace of mind with a particular purchase.

The pair’s standard of service is backed by numerous letters of reference from past clients and their unique partnership allows each to concentrate on different aspects of their industry. Bisaro prefers the contractual and liaison admin while Parnell specializes in valuations and marketing.

Both have admitted to having a passion for the Property industry and plan to advance their qualifications even further in the near future.

Their long term goal is to maintain their high standard of service and commitment to clients for many years to come.
