Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Estate agents in the coast gathered at the Jetty Restaurant in Swakopmund on Friday, 25 February 2022, as Bank Windhoek hosted its Annual Coastal Estate Agents award ceremony. At the event, Ramos Realtors Namibia, J&B Estates, and Home Page Estate Agency were recognised as the top three estate agencies.<\/p>\n

Morne Human from J&B Estates won the Gold Award for Achiever of the Year in the Commercial category. Ramos Realtors Namibia\u2019s Claudia Lofty-Eaton won silver in the Commercial and the Residential categories. Cecillia Muller from Grobbies Estates occupied the third spot in the Commercial category.<\/p>\n

Janine du Plessis from Monopoly Housing was crowned as the winner of the Residential category, and Toini Mweenda from Glory Real Estate won the third prize.<\/p>\n

Bank Windhoek\u2019s Head of Specialist Finance, Saara Shivute, said the bank was cognisant that the prevailing economic conditions affected the Erongo region due to its reliance on the tourism sector. \u201cI am, however, a firm believer that any situation presents an opportunity. An opportunity to innovate and think outside the box,\u201d she said. \u201cIt is thus pleasing to see the resilience of the estate agents ensuring the housing market gains traction.\u201d<\/p>\n

As she congratulated the estate agents, Shivute reminded them the bank values relationships. \u201cTogether, we are connectors of positive change for our mutual customers. We are therefore proud to be able to honour your achievements,\u201d she said. Adapting to the market<\/p>\n

As for their sales strategies, June van Schalkwyk from J&B Estates said they identified the correct approach during the pandemic as a team. \u201cIt was critical to find the right buyers for the properties up for sale,\u201d he said. \u201cBeing a buyers\u2019 market, there were great opportunities for both cash buyers and investors alike,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Du Plessis shared that she passionately served her customers and was delighted to see them become new homeowners despite the economic challenges. \u201cI got emotional with my customers, and it was a journey with them all the way. I have learned that our relationship grew during that period,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mweenda said she went the extra mile to assist her customers. \u201cSome of them could not manage to afford the properties. I decided to convince the sellers to lower their selling prices. It was not easy, but it worked,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The agents all pointed out that the coastal industry market had challenges, as buyers feared property prices would continue dropping for as long as Covid-19 was a threat.<\/p>\n

Human shared that to navigate a tough, challenging economy, they adapted to the market and met the customers where they were. He said they take all the customers to Bank Windhoek regarding financial support due to good service and turnaround time. The Bank Windhoek Annual Estate Agent Awards offers recognition to residential and commercial estate agents, agencies, and developers, from the northern, central, and coastal regions, for their commitment, loyalty, and support to Bank Windhoek and its customers. The central region event is scheduled to take place on Friday, 4 March 2022, in Windhoek.<\/p>\n
