SA HOMEBUYERS
Formed in 2005, SA HomeBuyers has quickly expanded
to meet demand and is now able to cover most areas of South
Africa. Whether looking for property in majestic Cape Town,
the inspiring Winelands, near the sandy beaches of Durban or in the
tranquility of the bushveld, its specialized property consultants
are able to add a whole new dimension to the property buying experience.
The high-quality team at SA HomeBuyers is headed
up by Andrew Brotchie. Pleased to be based back in South Africa after
spending extended periods living in Mexico and the UK, Andrew's main
focus is to ensure that the priority of the business and focus of
the consultants is on the needs of the buyer at all times. Andrew
attended the University of Exeter and has a BA (Hons) and an MBA in
International Management. He started his career in financial services
and, before returning to South Africa in 2005, spent many years working
on business expansion in the Far East for a global financial services
company.
Not to be compared with traditional estate agents that sell property,
SA HomeBuyers realigns the imbalance of an industry
focused on the seller by providing the missing link of professional
representation for the purchaser.
A totally incomparable service within South Africa, SA HomeBuyers
has assisted and advised clients on a range of property deals that
has seen it source, negotiate and represent buyers of simple holiday
apartments through to game lodges, guesthouses and investment properties.
Its ethos is simply one of ‘focusing on the buyers needs’.
For the foreign purchaser, the SA HomeBuyers service
has quickly been established as a must have. It has also developed
a particularly high profile with South Africans abroad either looking
to invest into property in their home country or making plans to return
home.
Property has always been one of our major purchases
in life. With the increase in prices, the complexity of issues facing
buyers and the use of property as investment and retirement income,
the level of professionalism with the industry has to rise. SA
HomeBuyers is leading this evolution and provides its clients
with the knowledge of how property should be bought -not in the future,
but now. |
