Previous business activities:
From 1991 until 2007, I was involved in starting out the following businesses:
- Two different wholesale distribution companies that were both sold as going concerns when profiting.
- Two retail business outlets that were sold when profiting.
Since 1992, I am an active, property investor and I am managing my own properties since.
Advice that is given to clients in the field of property and business is therefore from personal experience.
Benefiting from my hobby:
A hobby of mine is writing blog journals on motivation and doing affiliate Internet marketing.
The knowledge and experience gained by that is largely contributing to my success in online marketing.
On a personal level:
We stayed in Paarl for 24 years where me and my wife Carin, raised our two sons.
We moved office from Paarl to Brackenfell during 2011 and we reside in Brackenfell since 2012.
The reason for moving was because we became increasingly involved in business in the Northern Suburbs and we came to a point where the increased involvement and travel time necessitated us being closer to the center of our client market.
During 2014, we acquired the property at 4 Protea Road, Brackenfell, which we use as the current offices of INCOMPROP.
We are servicing our clients in Paarl, Wellington and also in Stellenbosch and Somerset West from our offices at 4 Protea Road, Brackenfell.
