A new RealNet franchise will open soon in the busy Mpumalanga town of Middelburg.
The franchise rights have been awarded to Elsa de Bruyn, who also owns the successful RealNet franchise in Burgersfort and Steelpoort and has 30 years of real estate experience to her credit.
She says having a second office in the Middelburg franchise will offer her the opportunity to expand her operations and bring the signature RealNet real estate services to a new market. “And my team’s experience in the Burgersfort and Steelpoort markets, which are largely underpinned by the mining industry, will be put to good account in Middelburg's mining community.
"We have a thorough grounding in the requirements of mining communities and will bring all that knowledge to bear in catering to the housing needs of our new client base. We will also offer a rental service, which forms an important component in residential markets with demand from contractors and seasonal workers," says De Bruyn.
The franchise, which covers an extensive area in and around Middelburg will, however, offer a full-house real estate service to all sectors of the residential market. De Bruyn says the local market is currently lively and the franchise aims to employ at least five agents in the area to do justice to the vast area it will serve.
Included in the franchise area are Aero and, Chromeville, Clubville, Crossroads, Dennesig, Eastdene, Federal Brick Works, Gholfsig, Kanonkop, Mathaydine, Middelburg and all extensions, Mineralia, Mountain View, Nazareth, Rockville, Thembisa, Townlands and Mhluzi and extensions.
