It’s been a while ….. between listing, marketing and advertising properties, managing rentals, taking photos, trying to update all the websites, social media platforms and now lately YouTube as well ….. it’s difficult to find time to blog.

Steyn Realty / Website / Facebook / Instagram / Twitter and YouTube

Since I last blogged we have been hit with Covid-19. Who would have through that one day, 26 March 2020, the country would be locked down due to a virus (more about my views on this later) but hey, this wasn’t a good experience, totally unforeseen and unplanned for. No work No pay as the saying goes ….

At least we had some deals in the pipeline and a couple of rentals to keep us going. Yesterday, 4 July 2020 saw 100 days since lock-down, at least we are able to work again and most people are getting back to the “new normal” bit by bit. Some of our tenants have been hit hard, not receiving salaries and some even losing their jobs all together. Not a nice situation to be in for anyone involved.

April & May 2020 was consumed by MARKETING! Not much else to do when you are sitting at home and you are not allowed to take out clients to see properties to buy or to rent. Once all the aspects and specifications of a specific property has been gone through and discussed with prospective buyers or tenants (which can be done telephonically or via other virtual platforms such as zoom etc) 99% of people want to SEE the property before making a final call. So except for marketing & communication not much could have been done during lock-down.

During this time, and in an effort to assist home owners with their bond repayments, the Prime Lending Rate has been reduced from 9.75% in Jan 2020 to 8.75% in March, 7.75% in April and the last interest rate cut was on 21 May 2020 where the Prime Lending Rate dropped to 7.25% ….. many reports are saying that we might see a further reduction towards the end of the year. This is the lowest rate that we have seen in more than 20 years. Can you believe that one of our Landlords even passed this saving onto the tenants as they knew the tenants were not able to earn an income during the lock-down period … … a fantastic gesture by the landlord to try and assist the tenant.

During this time we (Steyn Realty) have launched our new website through Entegral Technologies, http://www.steynrealty.co.za. We also got our YouTube channel off the ground where all our property videos, virtual tours and other will be posted and shared.

We are extremely fortunate and blessed to have concluded several sales since 1 June 2020 when the lock-down was relaxed to allow us to take out clients again, masked, scanned and sanitized, we had buyers lined up and it paid off.

Welcome to 2017

Welcome to 2017

…. not sure about you but 2016 was not a particularly good year for the Real Estate industry in SA. We saw the Prime Lending Rate go from 9.75% to 10.5% in the first half of the year. This, together with a couple of very negative and concerning economical and political movements put a bit of a damper on the market with most agents I spoke to reporting a drop in sales for the year.

Enough of 2016 and enough negativity over that market, the macroeconomical situation of the country and the dreaded word ….. “Politics” … blah blah blah … we have work to do and properties to market and sell.

2017 is here and we are going to “hook it” …. we are going to “hook it real good”. Stock in the Real Estate market is and always will be king! There are buyers for well priced properties. Although there are many factors that play a role like area (location), condition and specifications ….. “PRICE” will be the determining factor. If you price right, you will sell.

STEYN REALTY is serious about delivering an exceptional service to out clients being Property SELLERS, BUYERS, LANDLORDS & TENANTS. We have the experience, knowledge, marketing expertise, professional attitude and the drive to assist our clients with any Real Estate related query or assistance they might have. Where we can’t assist we will try to point you in the right direction. We have a list of professional and capable bond originators, attorneys, electricians, plumbers etc who we refer to our clients on a regular basis.

Buying or Selling Property is serious business and you need to team up with an Estate Agency who is just as serious about what they do. STEYN REALTY would love to assist you, no matter how big or small your property …. we do it all. We can also manage your rental portfolio, find, screen and place tenants on an ongoing basis.

If you are looking to Buy, Sell or Let-Out a property anywhere in the Roodepoort / Krugersdorp area or you know of someone who is struggling to sell please give us a call.

QR Codes for business and advertising

Leave a comment

QR Codes is a simple and interesting way to advertise and can include text, URL’s, contact details as a contact card etc.

I found a site where these codes can be generated and then downloaded to be used on just about anything from business cards to caps, t-shirts and also as print advertising in newspapers, magazines, brochures and much more.

Check out the following site for generating your own codes: http://www.goqr.me

Codes can be scanned from you smart phone using a scanning application for QR Codes. On my Blackberry I use an application called “BeeTagg” ….. Works well, but check your phones applications for this ……. Enjoy!
