Charl and Justin Coetzee, former owners of the Atlas Property Group, have acquired the licence to trade under the Fine & Country banner along the prestigious Atlantic Seaboard.
Areas of operation will include residential and commercial property in Llandudno, Bakoven, Clifton and Bantry Bay, with Bantry Bay being shared with Fine & Country at the V&A Waterfront, where Jean-Paul Tostée is the sales manager.
The third member of this team, Paula Ensor-Smith from Bakoven, who heads up the rentals division, has an exceptional knowledge of the area and a strong sales background.
Charl Coetzee says it’s important to travel and get to know different cultures. More and more people from the Middle East are showing an interest in the Atlantic Seaboard. So, Paula’s knowledge and experience comes in very handy.
When asked why the group had chosen Fine & Country International Realty, Charl says they were looking for a strong international brand aimed at the top end of the market.
“For us, the Atlantic Seaboard is not just the pinnacle of the real estate industry in South Africa, but also Africa. We wanted an associate with a brand that would enable us to achieve new levels of success.”
Linda Erasmus, CEO of Fine & Country International Realty sub-Saharan Africa, says they are happy to welcome on board their new team in Camps Bay.
“While we were looking for an international brand, we were looking for people capable of dealing with international markets.” She says this demands much more knowledge than usual, which is why they are happy to welcome Charl, Justin and Paula, who are experienced and well-travelled, to their team.
“Added to this, we have Jean-Paul Tostée with his extensive experience at Foxton’s. So, I am pleased with our Atlantic seaboard team,” says Erasmus.
