Rawson Rentals, the relatively new division in the Rawson Property Group, established to create a national network of rental franchises, all operating under the Rawson banner, has appointed Wayne Albutt as its Regional Manager.
Albutt, now 44 years old, has had 13 years’ property experience. For six and a half years he ran his own estate agency, concentrating on upmarket developments in the Western Cape. He has also worked for Rawson Properties in Hermanus for two years and has had service stints with three other national agencies in the Western, Southern and Eastern Cape.
Albutt has emphasized that by joining a nationally branded property group, a rental agent can very definitely be helped to increase his turnover and to operate more efficiently and professionally. The IT and other management support systems provided by Rawson Rentals, he said, are sophisticated, user-friendly and among the best available on the market today.
“Many small agencies,” said Albutt, “have provided excellent service in their regions. However, in most cases they have lacked the referrals, the advertising and the reputation that a big brand can provide. They also tend, regrettably, to lack the credibility of a big name: Rawson’s 30 year plus track record for ethical conduct in property dealings, it has already been shown, gives consumers, i.e. both landlords and tenants, confidence and peace of mind.”
To date, Rawson Rentals has already sold and set up 19 dedicated agencies and by the end of this year they plan to have 30 up and running.
