Hank van der Wal Property Consultant

I have been in the Real Estate industry in Umhlanga for several years working at Sotheby's and Wakefields. I have a passion for property and I think it's still the best investment one can make. As Franklin D. Roosevelt once said "Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world."

Before joining the real estate industry I was in the restaurant industry for a few years as a chef and manager at Mugg & Bean Gateway and Hops Riverside as well as Gateway. I am a fully trained chef and pastry chef at Christina Martin School of Food & Wine and have a passion for food. Maybe one day I will fulfill my dream of having my own cosy restaurant serving the best quality comfort food. In 2014 I worked for a tiny independent agency Ken Clarke Properties in the Upper Highway area. I decided to join a larger more substantial real estate agency like Tyson Properties Upper Highway in 2015. They have excellent advertising exposure and are highly professional in everything they do. It's the best real estate company I have ever worked for in my career. This is one of the best decisions I have ever made, and I'm thrilled to join such a fantastic company. We have a wonderful team of very experienced and top agents, who all work together as a unit and go out of their way to help one. It's the first time I have worked at such a magnificent company, where it feels like one is part of a family instead of just a group of fellow work colleagues. It has always been a dream of mine to work at such a great company, and now it has become reality. Working at such an excellent company and with such an outstanding team, the sky is the limit.

My personal mission statement: "Always going the extra mile for all my existing and future clients, and to offer them the most excellent personal service, while upholding my reputation for building lasting relationships with my clients and teammates based on the cornerstones of honesty, integrity and professionalism."

Selling and buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you will ever in your life and one of the most stressful experiences too. Let me guide you and look after you from start to finish, with honesty and integrity, total professionalism and the most excellent personal service. I promise you I will go the extra mile for you!!!
