We aim to give professional guidance to buyers and sellers, while being fair at all times and holding up proper values such as integrity. RE/MAX is so much more than just a brand, it's a fantastic family to be a part of. The support that RE/MAX of Southern Africa has given us has been instrumental in both the office's growth as well as mine personally," he says. "As a Broker/Owner within the RE/MAX family, Chairman Peter Gilmour and other Brokers/Owners such as Pelham Henwood, have had a huge influence in mentoring me as a business owner and encouraging me to be the best I can be. I have also always embraced learning and attend as many conventions and educational sessions as possible, encouraging my staff to do the same, as one can never learn enough." Other awards that were presented to the South African contingent at Las Vegas were the third place spot in the Top 10 Individuals for International Residential agents, which went to South Africa's number one agent, Kobie Potgieter, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Independent Properties.
