Aguila Real Estate’s team lives by the values of honesty, industry knowledge, collaboration, extraordinary customer service, and efficiency in all areas. They thrive not to be the biggest agency in the business, but rather the best.
The Principal of Aguila Real Estate, Erna van Vuuren, says what makes her successful is to add value to people’s lives and provide excellent service, and to focus on how she sets goals and works towards them. “Success takes time. There are no shortcuts to success in life, and you need to adopt a patient mindset to overcome roadblocks.”
Corleen van der Merwe says being excellent in what she does makes her successful. Making a difference in her environment also contributes to her success. “I believe that the little things in life make a difference.”
Lizette Jacobs says her schedule keeps her busy and therefore spending quality time in everything she does is important “especially if I can make a positive difference in people’s lives!”
Mari Zietsman says every happy client is a defining moment for her. “My love for my clients, my commitment and patience to go all the way until major satisfaction. If my client is satisfied with the end result, it gives me satisfaction!’
Amanda Nel joined Aguila almost six years ago. “You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change. I made the decision to join the vibrant Aguila team and it has been incredibly rewarding.”
Velindi Bakkes says Aguila makes use of each agent in their advertisements in the hope that you get to know their faces and learn to trust their sales team. “We are active on many forms of media, getting out there, and hoping the target audience hears and sees us loud and clear.”
Mare–Louise Human says she has always believed that it is essential to be proactive instead of reactive. “The habit that actually got me to the point to change my career path is beginning with the end in mind.”
Woutri Mugglestone says that in 2022 she wants to grow and be more sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit to be where she can make a difference, “I want to leave a legacy where I sell myself so that every person will know a house is not four walls, but a home with hearts filled with love and support in a family.”
Lida Hugo says as a property practitioner she meets the most wonderful people who contribute to her life in a special way. “I see beautiful places and I love it when I join the two together.”
Charmaine Schroder is a proud property practitioner and she sees herself as a matchmaker between potential clients and their dream home, which is within their budget. “I’m thankful for every opportunity that comes my way every day in a very competitive real estate market.”
Cherie Fourie works in all real estate areas but focuses on Agriculture and Auctions. Fresh marketing strategies, agri-knowledge, personal client focus and repeated networking and outreach produce happy clients. This to her is an inspiration and a joy!
Cornell Jacobs says time for yourself is essential and that you cannot pour from an empty cup. In her free time, she enjoys the outdoors and is an avid runner. “Running and exercising gives me time to reflect and clear my mind; thus, I prioritise it.”
