Hello, I am Suzette Kruger, specializing in the rental and buyer’s market in Stellenbosch for the past 6 years where the match-making of property and people has become my forté. Although not born and bred in the Boland, this area quickly became home with the beautiful winelands as the playing field of wonderful memories for my family and I.
I am a Communications Science graduate, have a Higher Educational Diploma, did various sales and marketing courses and am a qualified Professional Practitioner in Real Estate. With my experience in the field of marketing, construction, consulting and business management, I am able to assist and guide landlords and buyers in managing their property as well as investment choices.
One of the most memorable moments in my real estate career thus far is being part of the Andringa Walk development’s success story. I concluded the successful sale of an exclusive apartment for about R8.5million, amongst others. With my colleague, Vanessa Johnson, we ensured an extravagant capital growth within the apartment block year-on-year for 5 years now - last year being 14%. Currently, around 40 of the 117 apartments are in my rental portfolio.
I pride myself in looking after a landlord’s property as if it is my own,with maximum capital growth and return on investment as focus, keeping the repair and maintenance expenditure to the minimum while keeping the property in a mint condition. I make property portfolio work for landlords where they do not have to micro-manage their assets. My support to landlords in the marketing and selling of their properties give me the edge in service delivery. Clients also appreciate the intellect, care and assistance in letting and buying a home.
My commitment to my clients has rewarded me with Elite Gold Club status for service excellence and professionalism for five consecutive years. I have also achieved in the Boland and Overberg Area: Highest Units in Rentals for 4 years, Rental Agent of the Year for 5 years and Rookie of the Year.
When not busy with real estate, my life is filled with the joy and liveliness of my two sons, my pets, nature, reading, good food, family, friends and a passion for the good and beautiful things in life.
