Andries Breedt and Brenda Meiring have been working together since 2004 and says that they gave a great team dynamic and enjoy working as a team.
Breedt and Meiring feels that the property market is less active in the more expensive brackets, but that the middle market in Stellenbosch is still very buoyant. 'The market is busy changing from a sellers market to a buyers market. There is much more room for negotiation and sellers are more willing to come down with their prices'
The team works 14-15 hours per day for seven days a week. 'Its a rough schedule, but our clients expect us to always be available'
They have a large amount of units available '“ with prices that vary between R700 000 and R1,4 million. 'Flats are extremely popular with investors, as well as the parents of students' The demand is still the greatest for the cheaper bracket, where rental income is still about R2 500 '“
R2 700 per month, which covers half of your bond repayment' Breedt and Meiring is quick to point out that this is the exception to the rule. 'Normally your rental income only covers about 30% - 40% of your monthly repayment'
At the moment the partnership has units in four new developments up for sale, with the amount of units ranging from 42 to 140 and sizes varying between 36m² and 180m².
Both agents are involved with community work in Stellenbosch. Breedt is a senior Boland cricket referee and grew up in Stellenbosch, while Meiring does community work.
The two work together well with other estate agencies in Stellenbosch. 'It is to the benefit of the property market if the various companies work together.
'We are very fortunate in that we have an excellent support system in our office and work with a unique team'
