About Herman Chalupsky

Herman Chalupsky is a world champion surf-ski paddler with a staggering range of sporting titles to his credit. He has competed on average in three international canoe races every year since he was 18 years-old.

Herman has been in the property industry for over 20 years, all of them in Durban, working the north, south, central and western areas as a broker before establishing his own agency. He says success in business is down to hard work. "The harder you work the luckier you get. This applies in both business and sport."

Herman is renowned in the commercial and industry property industry for the customer loyalty he has engendered. He is available 24/7 and is willing to deal with work issues head-on. His relaxed, friendly disposition belies a steely determination. "I've been through property cycles. It's either feast or famine. How you handle the tough times...

There aren't many bodies of water that Herman has not paddled. Herman has paddled in Spanish rivers, off the Irish, Japanese and Australian coasts, around Manhattan, Tahiti, and France, and then up, down and around South Africa. He has won 23 SA Surf-lifesaving titles, was six times winner of the SA Iron Man title, has taken gold (sometimes twice) in events like the Molokai Ski Race, the World Sea Kayak Champs, the Berg River Marathon, the World Surf Ski Champs, and the New York Canoe Marathon. He was a Springbok surf-lifesaver and canoeist and was SA Army Sportsman of the year in 1983; Natal University Sportsman of the year in 1984 and Natal Technikon Sportsman of the year in 1985.

Herman says Chalupsky Properties is unique in that every agent handles a separate area. "We have specialists in each area, with excellent knowledge of properties and landlords. We have a good rapport with landlords and at any given time we have about 500 active properties on our books. "We have an intimate knowledge of these so clients don't have to go from agency to agency. Our expertise is under one roof."

Herman is married to Michaela and they have one daughter, Ella.
