Press Release - 24 July 2007

Home of the real estate champions

Chas Everitt International has once again emerged from the annual Nedbank Property Professional awards as the real estate group with the highest number of award-winners in its ranks.

First among these was Barney Fleiser, MD of the group’s KwaZulu-Natal operation, who received a Young Lion award in recognition of his potential as an industry leader of the future.

In addition, there were three Chas Everitt International agents among the 16 top agents from around the country who were in the running for the Property Professional of the Year award.

They were Bongani Sibisi from the Berea franchise in Durban, Murray Tocker from the Constantia franchise in Cape Town and Christiaan Steytler, also from Constantia, who was making his third showing as a finalist.

Rali Mampeule, owner of the Chas Everitt International franchise in Midrand, was the winner of the Property Professional of the Year award last year and in 2004, group founder and chairman Charles Everitt received a Property Professional Lifetime Achievement award to honour his many years of service and dedication to raising professional standards in the SA real estate industry.

And since the inception of the Property Professional awards eight years ago, the group has notched up a total of six Young Lion awards made to the “stars of tomorrow” as well as three Mover & Shaker accolades awarded to industry leaders for their contribution to the growth and well-being of real estate.

This gives the group a substantial honour roll that also includes group MD Berry Everitt, franchising CEO Barry Davies, Western Cape director Andre de Villiers, KZN director Roger Dixon and Paarl franchisee Henriette Basson.

Commenting on this record, Berry Everitt says: “We believe this is something really worth celebrating – not only for what it says about the quality of leadership in the Chas Everitt International group, but for the trust it inspires in the homebuyers and sellers that are our major focus.

“In this regard, it is important to note firstly that the Property Professional awards are definitely not only about real estate sales. Indeed, most of the laurels handed out by the PA Property Professional Club each year go to people who have made a contribution to the industry in terms of service ethics, professionalism, community involvement, education and marketing and innovation.

“Secondly, the candidates for the awards are all independently judged by the trustees of the club, which means these accolades are a true gauge for consumers of how agents’ – and agencies – shape up against their peers and competitors in the industry.”
