FIFTH HELDERBERG ASSOCIATE: IN JUST 7 YEARS
Salo Saayman enters RE/MAX Hall of Fame
RE/MAX Helderberg top-producing sales associate, Salo Saayman, qualified for one of the highest honours bestowed on career real estate professionals by RE/MAX of Southern Africa - the RE/MAX National Hall of Fame.
“Salo is the fifth in a proud tradition of RE/ MAX Helderberg sales associates to be admitted to this elite club in the last two decades,” explained broker/owner, Lee Siebert. “Salo has excelled in his career in real estate, consistently producing top sales figures, year after year, and collecting numerous RE/MAX service awards in recognition of his premier service to his clients. I am thrilled for Salo and for RE/MAX! His admittance to the RE/ MAX of South Africa – the Hall of Fame in November this year is noteworthy and is a massive achievement.” Salo commented: “the training and support
offered to sales professionals at RE/MAX have provided a solid foundation for my success. I was a bank manager for many years in this region, and I joined RE/MAX in 2007. My career has brought me in contact with clients from all walks of life. My aim as a realtor is to ensure a smooth and fair property transaction for all interested parties. I recognise my responsibility to my clients – to maximise the selling price for every mandate that is entrusted to me. I strive to achieve the best selling price in the best possible time and with the least inconvenience to the seller.” Lee Siebert advised that, “In the real estate arena there are various offerings by agents. My advice to property owners is to qualify your agent carefully! Your home is one of your most valuable investments. Choose a real estate professional who is transparent and is able to substantiate his market assessment of your property with actual statistics of per-
centage sales price to marketing / listing price attained for houses sold by him / his company. Unfortunately, ethics are cast aside in a bid for mandates when stock levels are low, resulting in over-valuing by agents, and consequent price reductions over an extended time on the market, eventually resulting in a selling price below true market value.” “RE/MAX Helderberg is able to prove that our team has achieved 97% average selling price to listing / marketing price on our mandates for 2014. We have six millionaire agents – earning R1 million plus in registered sales in 2014.” RE/MAX Helderberg will be assisting with the marketing of exciting new residential developments from their exhibition kiosk, situated across the passage from their Waterstone Village office in Somerset West, from 12 December 2014.
