The Property Association has once again teamed up with Nedbank to present a series of roadshows to estate agents during March 2010 in the major regions across the country.
In line with The Property Association’s primary objective to further enhance the image of real estate agents in South Africa by assisting them to grow, develop and ultimately achieve the pinnacle of success, entry to the roadshows is free for members of the Property Association.
Last year’s roadshows saw an attendance of over 500 estate agents in each region, with the national attendance close to 3,000 estate agents. Rudi Botha, CEO of the PA Group, believes this year’s attendance figures will be even better. “Aside from the exceptional line-up of guest speakers, estate agents will be presented with key information snippets to assist and motivate them to achieve success in current economic conditions and gain a greater understanding of the market place in which they operate.”
This year, estate agents will have the opportunity to listen to Nedbank’s chief economist, Dennis Dykes, who will equip them with all that they need to know when it comes to managing expectations for market recovery. Dykes believes that property markets, both domestically and internationally, appear to be on the mend as the effects of the financial market crisis abate and will discuss how sound this recovery is and assess how favourable the climate will be over the medium term at the roadshows.
The industry certainly needs motivation to succeed during challenging times, and can therefore expect to be entertained by Vusi Thembekwayo during his self-inspired, comical talk called Big Mama & the horse. Thembekwayo has delivered this talk on four of the seven continents and has fine-tuned its message to entertain, enthuse and inspire.
“The keynote speaker will inspire and motivate all who attend to make the most of all of the opportunities that 2010 holds,” Botha said.
