Phumela Lakaje

Phumela is a real estate professional specialising in residential property, rentals, and short-term accommodation, currently working with MI Property Group to support clients across sales, rentals, and property investment solutions.

I hold a Property Development and Investment qualification from the University of Cape Town (UCT), which provides a strong foundation in property feasibility, development fundamentals, and investment strategy. This formal training, combined with hands-on industry experience, allows me to approach property from both a strategic and practical perspective.

My experience includes:

- Residential property sales and client representation

- Long-term rental placements and management

- Short-term rentals and Airbnb operations

- Working with investors to source income-generating properties

- Advising landlords on yield optimisation and rental strategy

Through MI Property Group, my focus is on helping clients make sound, informed property decisions, whether they are purchasing, renting, or building an investment portfolio. I believe property should create stability, consistent income, and long-term value, and I work closely with clients to ensure their goals are met with clarity and professionalism.
