Century 21 - South Africa (Head Office)

Past Work Experience - After completing my studies in Canada I returned to South Africa to work in a family run wholesale textile business. I worked in sourcing, design, marketing and sales; supplying fine apparel wear fabrics to the trade, and manufacture of high end linen for the retail and hospitality sector. In the 30 plus years in the industry I have managed to develop a substantial network of traders and property owners. With the general downturn in the economy and attendant loss of market share, I decided to change careers.

Why a career in Real Estate? Real Estate seemed a natural fit given my abiding interest in property, existing business contacts and the particular opportunities it presents. I have managed in a relatively short time to parlay my strong general knowledge base of market trends into a viability as, although not exclusively, commercial agent. I undertake to deliver the same level of professionalism to the residential market that I have done for the commercial sector.
My expertise is Real estate, As the Emmarentia and Greenside area specialist I am well positioned to serve both sellers and buyers professionally given my intimate knowledge of the neighbourhood gleaned from having lived in the area for 17 years.

Client Testimonial - "I contacted Shiraz Ismail, agent at Century21, to assist with looking for a commercial property in New Doornfontein, Johannesburg. The service and feedback rendered by Shiraz was highly professional and diligent throughout. Viewing was arranged for my team and was done efficiently for the proposed potential property. Shiraz went out of his way during the negotiation process and finally got an approved offer. I can recommend Shiraz and Century21 as agents for any commercial property transaction" Mirriam Ramoraswi
