FROM BERRY EVERITT

In the course of this year, our company's 30th anniversary, we have already had many things to celebrate besides the great success of the Soccer World Cup that made all South Africans so proud.

One of these is the way in which our offices have participated in the new ChasCares campaign and each committed themselves to doing 30 "acts of kindness" for local charities or good causes during the year, in order to say a direct thank you to SA for 30 years of support. I am very proud of the way they have got behind this campaign and underlined our enduring dedication to strong family values and integrity in property marketing.

Meanwhile, our three regional ChasCares campaigns in which charity organisations were encouraged to apply for grants of up to R30 000 have also generated a lot of excitement, and we were delighted to make the grant presentations this month to the South African Riding for the Disabled Association and the Horizon House centre for the care of intellectually disabled adults in the Western Cape; the Kuierkidz learning centre for children with severe brain disabilities in Gauteng and to the Cancer Association of South Africa in the Eastern Cape.

However, like most major birthdays, this year has also motivated us to look forwards rather than backwards, and to redefine our vision of the future. Consequently, we are focused now on new opportunities in our marketplace and on finding ways to make the most of these for the benefit of our clients. This, we believe, will continue to make Chas Everitt International the company of choice for consumers, estate agents and principals.

Oddly enough, the last thing most home sellers want to think about when their property is not attracting offers is price - even though they themselves may be extremely value conscious when looking at homes to buy...

Chop power costs with heat pumps

Everyone knows that the geyser is the biggest energy-glutton in the house, gobbling up 30 to 50% of the monthly electricity usage all by itself.

But not everyone is convinced that the best alternative is a solar geyser. Another option is a heat pump...
