Mark Kleynhans, Director of Aucor Property comments “Following a multitude of successful auctions in Johannesburg since our launch and demand from the market in the Western Cape, the team moved quickly to get our Cape Town operation up and running and in a short period of time we have opened a permanent office in the heart of the City Centre and secured excellent stock to offer to our Cape Town buyers.
This coupled with the fact that we have a large Johannesburg auction event taking place on the 20th of September has proved that the market is receptive to the auction process and based on the good results to date has confidence in both selling and buying property using the auction platform.”
