RE/MAX All Stars, operating in Alberton and the southern Johannesburg suburbs since 2008, is set to open a second office in Germiston, Gauteng.
The new offices will be situated at 126 Webber Road in Lambton and will be led by a team of 10 experienced estate agents servicing buyers and sellers in Lambton, Klippoortjie, Delville, Elsburg, Elspark, Primrose, Fishers Hill, Dawnview, Sunny Ridge, Solheim, Marlands, Dinwiddie and all surrounding areas.
A new office is scheduled to open next month during the course of the next month due to the phenomenal growth and success its agents have achieved in the area.
Established in the early days of the gold rush, Germiston is situated on Gauteng’s East Rand and forms part of the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality.
Germiston is made up of a diverse mix of industrial and residential properties and is the country’s sixth largest city with 70 percent of the western world's gold passing through its refinery.
RE/MAX All Stars broker/owners, Martin and Jenny de Necker, identified the opportunity for growth and expansion into the Germiston area at the beginning of the year.
They explain that since some of their agents were already actively working in the Germiston area, opening an office made sense as this will enhance service to home buyers and sellers in the suburbs of Germiston.
The new offices will be situated at 126 Webber Road in Lambton and will be led by a team of 10 experienced estate agents servicing buyers and sellers in Lambton, Klippoortjie, Delville, Elsburg, Elspark, Primrose, Fishers Hill, Dawnview, Sunny Ridge, Solheim, Marlands, Dinwiddie and all surrounding areas.
Germiston RE/MAX All Stars office will be managed by Martin and Jenny de Necker, who combined have more than 12 years of experience in the property market.
Aside from receiving numerous RE/MAX of Southern Africa awards, Jenny de Necker was recognised as a finalist in the coveted Property Professional of the Year awards ceremony held in Johannesburg.
Talking about property sales in the area, the de Necker’s say that properties are available from R400 000 and range up to the R4 million mark depending on size, features and location.
Almost 50 percent of recent residential property buyers in this city were aged between 36 and 49 years, according to information sourced from Lightstone, a property statistics and data provider.
The data also shows that close on 60 percent of all residential property in the city is freehold, while sectional title units account for the other 40 percent and the majority of buyers have lived in the area for between five and seven years.
In terms of property appreciation, the de Neckers foresee a small percentage growth over the next 12 to 18 months, in line with expected growth for properties around the country.
Adrian Goslett, chief executive officer of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, says it is due to property professionals such as these that RE/MAX of Southern Africa has been able to successfully grow its market share and continue to be a leader in the real estate industry.
