“Forget weekly sales meetings and monthly targets. With PropertyTime, you just get on with business… because it’s your business! Getting out what I put in is really motivating for me as a commission earner. The 50% commission split in most old-fashioned real estate companies is so unattractive now. PropertyTime really empowers agents, I should’ve joined sooner.”

“I joined the Property Time family in June 2018. Before June 2018 I had my own company and worked for myself. I saw the PropertyTime advertisement in the Agent magazine and phone Pierre immediately. He explained the 91/9 model to me and I decided to make the change and work for a Principal and still be my own boss. Why would you do that, you might ask? Firstly, being a principal comes with a lot of compliance requirements. Once a year your business and trust account need to be audited. It is not only a financial burden but also a time-consuming exercise. You must comply to all the FICA requirements, appointing people in different roles and enforcing the new requirements of FICA. The cost structure for a principal at the EAAB is much higher for having an FFC and to be CPD compliant. PropertyTime provides the opportunity to work from home, without a boss telling you what to do and when to do it. I am part of a national brand and have colleagues in various towns and cities in South Africa. Pierre has a vision to build the company to more prominent brand in all areas in South Africa. I share Pierre’s vision and will built myself as an excellent property professional who stood the test of time!”

“I approached Desire Zwahlen regarding PropertyTime in September 2015 after having left a big Green Company, where I worked for 14 years. The main factor that drew me to PropertyTime was that you get properly rewarded with great commission structures, earning a whopping 91% on each successful sale. The harder and smarter you work, the more money you can earn – you set your own working pace. Pierre Rousseau is an amazing General Manager who allows you to run your own business in your own time and set your own goals. The company supplies you with all the necessary tools and documents required to do your job effectively. My hard work paid off for me last year when I was awarded the top National Agent for 2017. Best move and decision I made was to join PropertyTime in October 2015, I have never looked back!! Thank you Pierre and PropertyTime for giving me the opportunity.”

“I have been part of the PropertyTime Family since July 2016, (with the exception of a four-month period where I assisted a colleague with the starting-up of her own company). My experience with Property Time has been that of only great praise. Our colleagues are qualified, full-status property practitioners.  Within our team, there are many years of experience and knowledge shared between the agents. During the course of 2018, I completed NQF5 Real Estate studies.  I had 100% support from our Principal, Pierre Rousseau, as well as from my colleagues within the Secunda branch. The reasons for Property Time being a cut above the rest are simple: The commission-split presents an offer no real estate agent can actually refuse.  Even when the monthly desk-fee is considered, the estate agent still have much more money in his/her pocket than if commission split was as with most other companies. With the Property Time and Mortgage Max partnership, each estate agent receives a “cash-back” percentage bonus if a transaction is successful and Mortgage Max was the bond originator.  This is fantastic – “money from home”! There is no “office politics”. There is no “office duties”. Each estate agent can truly say that they are running their own business, however, with the advantage, guidance and security of the PropertyTime “umbrella”.  Each estate agent’s success is determined by themselves, how they plan and work their own business. Each estate agent can determine their own pace, their own strategies, their own marketing methods, canvassing, referrals systems – PropertyTime creates the platform (stage if you will) for each and every agent to “perform” to their hearts desire. PropertyTime provides an easy-to-use central information system where all the necessary documents, property information for each region, “PropertyTime family news”, real estate news and information is freely available at the touch of a button. PropertyTime provides a system where an agent can manage their own “office” and yet not have the burden of all the legalities of a business, (i.e. financial auditing, personnel salaries, VAT payments, etc.). PropertyTime management are ALWAYS readily available for ANY situation, problem, telephone call, advice, guidance, etc. for all the real estate agents. I have on many occasions suggested PropertyTime to fellow colleagues and friends whom are also in the real estate business.  However, I must say, that I truly believe that it is an elite group of agents whom at the end of the day, can succeed at PropertyTime.  The type of agent whom is employed at this remarkable company, is dedicated, disciplined, self-assured, informed, energised, enthusiastic and above all – has a vision and mission not only for their own business, but for that of PropertyTime as well. I am truly blessed and proud to be part of PropertyTime!!  Thank you Property Time!”

“Vir my is PropertyTime die toekoms van eiendoms verkope in SA. Die besigheids geleentheid wat aan my gebied word in my omstandigehe as n tydelike boer is onberekenbaar. Terwyl ek eiendomme bemark en transaksies oor die telefoon onderhandel stel dit my in staat om ook na my skape om te sien asook my ander boerdery aktiviteite. Om nie eers te praat watse voordele dit inhou vir my groeinde kinders. Ek is ten alle tye beskikbaar vir my gesin se behoeftes en kwaliteit aandag kan verseker word in alle fasette, soos die lys van eiendomme, uitneem van kopers, oplei van nuwe agente, die behoud van eie opleidings vereistes t.o.v die eiendoms wereld, toesig oor plaas aktiwiteite en arbeid, asook die omsien en beskerming van plaasdiere. My produktiewiteit in alle opsigte het verdubbel en uitgawes het verminder. Die vryheid van beweging en besluitmeming wat aan my gegee word veroorsaak n gerustheid wat gevul word met wysheid en geduld om die regte woorde te gebruik en so ook die regte besluite te kan maak met transaksies wat oor my padkom. Dankie vir die unieke geleentheid.”

“PropertyTime offers self-motivated people the opportunity to express themselves as professional agents and who are able to perform at high levels of self-confidence and at their own pace.   Having your own business within a business and working from home has many other advantages other companies cannot offer.   We have access to our own management system allowing us to manage our own time, listings and websites, with access to 7 different web sites, but not having to concern ourselves with the VAT & taxes which is handled by head office. This opportunity given to us by PropertyTime allows us the freedom to be in charge of our own destiny and also earn 91% of commission. As a husband and wife team we have discovered that our individual talents and experiences have developed within the PropertyTime framework and has helped us in our achievements.”

“Ek het by PropertyTime aangesluit 01 September 2014 en van die eerste dag het ek ons GM (Pierre Rousseau) as ondersteunend en n man met integriteit ervaar (en in die vier jaar het hy ons nog nooit teleur gestel nie) Wat die siteem betref is dit net n plesier om vanaf te werk  Al die wettige dokumente is reeds opgestel en onmiddellik beskikbaar Advertensie op die web en skou materiaal met die druk van n knoppie Agente ondersteun mekaar sonder dat daar afgunstigeid is (omdat die kommissie struktuur so goed is) Trots om te kan se dat ons nog nooit gesukkel het om ons FFC te kry nie omdat ons hoofkantoor van dag een n skoon Audit kry Veral in moeiliker ekonomiese tye maak dit net sin om van die lae inset kostes asook maandelikse fooi gebruik te maak en vry te wees van al die vereistes wat van tradisionele kantoor verwag word Ons GM is ten alle tye op hoogte van veranderings (wetlik of van die EAAB) en hou ons op hoogte Ek kan met sekerheid en ervaring se dat dit die beste keuse vir enige agent is om by die PropretyTime konsep in te koop mits jy toegewyd, eie dryf, en professioneel is

“The reason for me embarking into the property real estate business is twofold. Firstly because of my passion to do so and secondly to be able to function in the way that I can best execute my duties in ALL aspects without having my principles dictate where when and how during endless wasted office meetings on how this is to be done. This might be required of certain agents who need direction and support and who need to be led. By being accepted into PropertyTime as such, and now as a professional property consultant, I am being rewarded by receiving the highest commission return in the industry for the hard work I put in. If support is needed in unusual situations, it is provided. The web listing facilities provided leave nothing to be desired in that my area of operation is not restricted as I have the whole country at my disposal to engage with other agents in PropertyTime. The promptness in payment execution in all financial transactions including commission payments cannot be better than the current 24 to 48 hours. Our Principal has the integrity that is required in this position, which builds the trust relationship between all involved in PropertyTime. My decision to go with PropertyTime has rewarded me not only financially but with peace of mind knowing that I can now build on my future where I can benefit in the rewards.”

Shortly after joining PropertyTime in early 2015, I experienced a work freedom I did not know was possible in our industry. In my previous agency, I fell into the trap of doing what I knew was expected of me, as if I was an employee, instead of doing what I knew was right for me and for my abilities. Their way of working just wasn’t my way which led inevitably to frustration for all concerned. PropertyTime does not have ‘a way of working’! As a Full Status agent, I am truly INDEPENDENT and given the freedom to express and develop my own way of working, my own way of expressing myself and develop my business for myself, but not by myself. We don’t do office politics! Not only because we do not have offices (we work from home, car, coffee shop, wherever) but mainly because we have minimal rules and maximum entrepreneurial freedom. The only behavioural expectation is to be a professional, ethical agent and be guided by your conscience and our Code of Conduct. The company provides all the tools I need to function successfully in our industry, keeps me abreast of regulatory and other industry changes, fosters close relationships, and then leaves me alone to follow my dreams, not someone else’s. Oh, AND I get to keep most of the hard-earned commission!! What’s not to like??

There is no doubt in my mind that PropertyTime is the best Estate Agency in the business. Five factors that tip the scale for me. 1. PropertyTime is positioned as a Boutique Style Estate Agency. At PropertyTime, the Property Practitioner takes an entrepreneurial approach to business. Taking charge of my own career, goals, and destiny is important to me. 2. As part of the management style, the agency encourages independence and ownership, creates guidelines instead of rules, supports instead of micromanaging, uses technology rather than office policies. 3. 100% Control over my time, My time is mine to manage, prioritize and enjoy – each and every day! 4. Great income potential. Up to 91% of commission can be earned from registered deals. I appreciate that I have the freedom and authority to negotiate a commission percentage that’s right for me as well as my clients. 5. Staying abreast of industry issues and changes. As a seasoned industry expert, Principal, and GM of PropertyTime, Pierre Rousseau is well versed in the property industry, he shares valuable insight, new legislations and industry news with the team using real-time communication and technology.
