Moves, new faces and good news!

A warm welcome to Deena Pitum, who joins Leapfrog Johannesburg North East in the position of Sales Manager. We look forward to working with you, Deena!

Well done to Odete Dias (082 966 7544) our agent in Malvern East, Dawnview, Primrose Hill, Wychwood and Simmerfield, who received an Icebreaker Award for her contribution to the branch. Odete sold 2 properties in her first 3 months as a real estate agent.

 A special notice of recognition is due to Brenda Steinfeld (082 447 1929) our agent in the Sandringham, Sydenham, Glenhazel, Fairmount and Parcelia areas and Odete Dias, for each listing and selling a property within 48 hours. Outstanding!

We are excited to announce that we'll be relocating to a new office space on 25 July 2014. Our new space (61 Linksfield Road, Edenvale) will be better suited to accommodate our needs in the future, as our sales AND staff numbers continue to grow. Moving on and moving up!

“The May statistics recorded by Ooba, South Africa’s biggest bond originator, show that the trend of positive growth in the property market continues.

The Average Purchase Price recorded by Ooba in May was R947 086. The First-Time Buyer’s Purchase Price showed a very healthy year-on-year increase.

The Average Approved Bond Size, IS R818 955.This increase in average bond size, was driven by a sharp decrease in the average deposit - the average deposit being R128 131.

“The reduction in the average deposit requirement is a positive sign of lender confidence in the market,” says Rhys Dyer, Ooba CEO.
