Jennifer Smith: Outdoor enthusiast and JHB South real estate specialist

Hi! I'm a property practitioner for the CSi Property Group, specialising in rental properties in Johannesburg South.

What makes you stand out in the real estate industry?

The thing that makes me stand out in the industry is my passion for people from all walks of life! My main priority is always to provide excellent customer service to all clients. I love the satisfaction that I get from positive feedback after I find someone a roof to put over the head, whether it's temporary or permanent accommodation.

Tell us about the area you specialise in and what you love about it.

My area of speciality is Route 82 Apartments in Johannesburg South. The thing I love most about Joburg South is that despite ongoing development, the area has held onto its natural beauty. The people who live in this area are active and family-orientated, which makes them easy to identify with. Suburbs like Alveda and Kibler Park are close to Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve, which offers a great respite from the stresses of everyday life.

What are your secrets for helping people buy, sell or rent property?

My secrets are wholeheartedly based on communication skills, as well a personal touch and determination to go the extra mile for my clients. At times, I've even gone as far as finding schools, transport, décor and other referrals for clients.

What advice would you give somebody looking to buy or rent a property in the area that you specialise in?

One of the first things I always point out to clients is how beautiful the south of Johannesburg is. There are ample schools in the area as well as a close-knit community. It's also a great place to live because of the easy access to highways and byways - not to mention the lovely malls that Joburg South residents have close to home.
