SOMERSETWEST :BUSINESS IS BOOMING FOR RE/MAX WATERSTONE VILLAGE

I
n the first four months of 2013, RE/
MAX Helderberg reported a 112% in-
crease in their registered sales figures
compared with the same period in 2012.
According to top RE/MAX Helderberg pro-
ducer, Salo Saayman, (photographed below)
business at RE/MAX has
never been better! Saay-
man is celebrating his sev-
enth anniversary at RE/
MAX Helderberg.
SaaymanofRE/MAXHel-
derberg, former successful
bank manager / area man-
ager for a leading bank, has
acquiredanin-depthknowl-
edge of business and of
banking.Hehasreachedthe
highest echelons of the real
estate profession in his ca-
reer with RE/MAX. Multi-
award winner, Saayman
achieved the RE/MAX In-
ternational Platinum
Award in 2012.
Our office at Waterstone
Village is extremely busy,
affirms Saayman.
Our sales for the first four months of 2013
have more than doubled compared with the
same period in 2012.
RE/MAX is a phenomenal, world-wide suc-
cess story. Here in Somerset West, our team
of sales associates deliver consistently excep-
tional results! The proof of our excellence lies
in our sales figures! I have found that keeping
in regular contact with my vast database of
previous clients hasmade it possible to reach
new heights in my real estate career.
We are also experiencing tremendous
growthatWaterstoneVillage,explainsSaay-
man. Waterstone Village is seven years old
and iscurrentlyundergoinga transformation
and much-needed expansion to serve the
needs of the ever-growing number of stylish
and trend-setting customers frequenting this
favourite hot spot.
The revamp of Waterstone Village aims to
maximise the benefits of
the Centre, including the
prime location, proven
trading record, compre-
hensive tenantmix and en-
viable shopper market.
The Centres anchor ten-
ants are expanding and an
additional 277 parking
bays will be available. The
parking-bay projectwill be
completedendofJune2013.
Saayman comments,
We envisage that the
growth and improvements
underway at Waterstone
Village will enhance our
prominence as the Helder-
bergs real estate market
leaders.
My principal, Lee Sie-
bert, broker/owner of RE/MAX Helderberg,
has supported me throughout my career. I
findLee tobea trueprofessional, andaprinci-
pledprincipal thebestkind in the industry!
Adrian Goslett, CEO of RE/MAX of South-
ernAfrica, says that, As recovery inboth the
housing market and the economy move from
strength to strength, real estate is once again
becomingapopularinvestmentstrategy.This
is for a good reason. Real estate investment
has always provided a long-term vehicle for
investors looking for a financially secure in-
vestment options that can provide a corner-
stone for wealth creation. Property can often
ensure a return on investment that other in-
vestment strategies simply cannot match,
provided that the standard property buying
principles are adhered to.
Goslett adds that for those with access to
finance, property investment is fairly easy to
get into; however, it is advisable for investors
to do research and put time into learning
about the property market, with the help of
a professional real estate practitioner, to help
them avoid making unnecessary, and often
costly, mistakes.
On average RE/MAX of Southern Africa
agents outsell the industry by three to one.
RE/MAX of Southern Africa agents also ac-
count for approximately 5% of all agents in
the country, but are responsible for over 15%
of the property sales transactions. We have
also experienced rapid expansion with more
than 30 new RE/MAX franchises opened in
the Southern African region during 2012,
says Goslett. This brings the RE/MAX of
Southern Africa network to over 170 offices
and 1 800 agents, says Goslett.

property-related matters, contact Salo Saay-
man at RE/MAX Helderberg on 021 852 6464

Where should I advertise
myproperty for sale?
If marketing and advertising are the keys
to achieving the highest possible price in
themarket, then where are the best places
to advertise your property?
There are someverypowerfulmarketing ve-
hicles available to ensure you
reach the most buyers for your
property:
. Print advertising
For decades print marketing
was the most widely used mar-
keting method. Buyers would
religiously find the local news-
papers and pour through the
various listings, circling the
properties of interest.
Does print marketing still
work? The short answer is
Yes. Whilst print marketing
has lost its dominance, it is still
a very strong advertising medi-
um.TheSouthAfricanpublic,to
a large extent, still relies on print marketing
to source properties that are for sale.
Asprintis fairlycostlyincomparisontoweb-
site marketing many estate agencies have cut
back significantly on their print advertising.
This means there are fewer homes advertised
in print, and its easier for your property to
stand out from the crowd if it enjoys printmar-
keting.
AtHarcourts Platinumwe can confirm that,
whenour listingsappear inprint, there isasig-
nificant increase inthewebsiteactivityonthat
listing. So it is a fact that print drives online
marketing. A purchaserwill see a property ad-
vertised in print, go to the agencys website,
andenter thewebreferencenumber.Theywill
thenhaveaccesstomultiplephotos,video,and
all the property information they require.
.Website advertising
Whatapowerfultooltheinternethasbecome
for advertising. Buyers frequent sites like
Property24.comandPrivateproperty.co.zaand
search through thousands of properties for
suitable homes. In addition to this, the individ-
ual websites of estate agencies carry the hun-
dreds of listings.
Buyers have instant access to multiple pho-
tos, floorplans, video, and all
the additional information
they require. Enquiries can
be made at the click of a but-
ton.
Website marketing has be-
come so popular that some-
times it can be difficult to fil-
ter through all the properties
to source the ones that are of
interest. In addition to this,
sometimes a property can be
listed by different companies
multipletimesevenatdiffer-
ent prices. To counter this
some websites sell Feature
Listing spots where a prop-
ertycanbespotlightedtopreventitgettinglost.
.Boards
Boards still remain a very effective way of
attracting buyers that drive through an area.
Buyers already knowwhere a property is, and
what it looks like from the road. About 25% of
all buyer enquiries at Harcourts Platinum re-
sult from boards, especially our unique photo
boards.
In future articles the benefits of showhouses
and database marketing will be discussed.
Important to remember is that a marketing
plan needs to incorporate many different ad-
vertising methods not just one. A combina-
tion of the correct advertising will throw the
net reallywide to ensure that all potential buy-
ers are attracted to your property.
Its the only way to ensure you get the most
themarketwill pay. If youwould like a proper-
ty question answered email Steve on ste-

Iceland poppies
for instant colour
When it comes tomassed, long-lasting winter
colour, the South African gardener cant go
wrongwith poppies. For instant, glorious col-
our in the garden nothing beats bedding
plants. Just a few trays of seedlingswill trans-
form an otherwise dull corner into a kaleido-
scope of brilliant colour.
While somegardenersare loath tobuyseed-
lings when they cant see any blooms on the
little plants, this shouldnt be a concern. Pop-
pies offer their best when planted early in the
season, soon providing blooms that will keep
on appearing right through to late spring.
Iceland poppies prefer full sun and require
fertile soil, good drainage, protection from
strongwindsandregularwatering.Theyusu-
ally start floweringwithin 90 days after trans-
planting and continue to do so for about 16
to 20 weeks. Poppies love gardeners that like
to pick for the vase the more you pick them
themore they flower for you. If you dont pick
the blooms its essential that you deadhead
the spent blooms to keep them flowering. Sin-
gle colours are now available for those with
colour schemes and there are also lovely pas-
telshades.Poppiesworkverywellwithspring
bulbs, as well as inter planted with low grow-
ing annuals like pansies.

Held at the glittering Sandton Convention
Centre last Friday (26thApril), the 12th annu-
al Oliver Empowerment Awards saw VWSA
handed the coveted Skills Development

as First Rand, KPMG and NetCare.
Recognised as the countrys most influen-
tial empowerment accolade, the Oliver Em-
powerment Awards identify and acknowl-

viduals in the public and private sectors
which excel in job creation, entrepreneur-
ship and enterprise development.
VWSA director of corporate and govern-
ment affairs, Nonkqubela Maliza, was de-
lighted at the news and said the company
would continue to strive towards employee
skills development.
VWSAnotonly focusesonemploymenteq-

Toyotaweer borg vir Pendoring
Toyota Suid-Afrika, vervaardiger van ver-
skeie van die land se gunsteling-voertuie
asook die taai Hilux-bakkie, is weereens n
goue borg van die Pendoring-reklametoe-
kennings.
Volgens Pieter Klerck, senior bestuurder
van bemarkingskommunikasie en reklame
by Toyota, word die maatskappy se steun
daarin gesetel dat hy regstreeks met n jon-
ger teikenmarkwilpraat,waaronderdie re-

handelsnaam-lojaal is, n taamlik groot be-
steebare inkomste het, en dat verbruikers
hulharte,koppeenbeursiesmeergeredelik
oopmaak wanneer in hul moedertaal met
hulle gepraat word, het Pendoring bemar-
kers aangemoedig om produkte en dienste
in Afrikaans te bevorder.
Toyota het nog altyd deur middel van
skerp en skeppende reklame met di mark
Afrikaans gepraat en het die geleentheid
verwelkom om sy jare lange steun vir die
taal deur sy verbintenis met Pendoring te
belig. Vandag verwelkom die groep die feit
dat Pendoring tot by die punt gekom het
waarhyookskeppendheidennhernudebe-
langstelling in ander inheemse tale bevor-
der. Sy instelling van die eg Suid-Afrikaan-
se kategorie en die bekendstelling van die
Umpetha-toekenning is progressiewe stap-
pe, en dit vind aanklank by sowel die skep-
pers van moedertaal-reklame as die ver-
bruikers waarmee daardeur gepraat word.

Pendoring bied aan Toyota die ideale ge-
leentheid om homself en sy voertuie te ver-

Pendoringhet oor die afgelope tweedeka-

daarop gemik is om groter bewustheid van
die krag van kommunikasie in die huistaal
van die teikenmark te skep, of dit nou in

Road-test: Isuzus satisfyingnewKB
FRANS LE ROUX
Isuzu recently coined a new catch phrase
namely, The Bakkie Specialists which I
quite like and tend to agree with.
Since 1972, Isuzuhas stuck to theirwinning
recipe by producing safe, solid and reliable
bakkieswhich thousands of SouthAfricans
fell in love with. It has taken the company
more than 40 years to win over the hearts
of their loyal fans. With the launch of the
sixth generation KB, Isuzu provides more
of the same quality that weve come to ex-
pect.
Farmers, buildersandworkers fromvari-
ous different sectors waited for close to 10
years for this bakkie, and it has finally ar-
rived.
I took delivery of a white KB 300 D-Teq
and spent a couple of days testing it around
theWesternCape. Lets start offwith the col-
our,white is inmyhumble opinion the only
colour a bakkie should be. An obvious rea-
son for this is that it stays cleaner for longer
but to be honest, nothing looks more man-
ly thanburnt orangemud stains onawhite
bakkie.
On the interior, Isuzu changed the dash-
board and instrument cluster. Borrowing
some of its new design features from the
Chevrolet Trailblazer. This is by no means
a bad thing, and I do like the large climate
control display and the dark chocolate
brown leather seats. I would however have
wanted my front passenger seat to be more
adjustableorelectroniceven.Tallerpassen-
gers complained that headroom in the front
was a bit cramped, but on the upside leg-
room in the rear has improved tremendous-
ly. Improvements made possible by build-
ing a larger cabin and bakkie overall. The
rear seat positioning is certainly not up-
right any more and improves comfort lev-
els, especially on long distance trips. Cruise
control works aplomb with switches situated
on the steering wheel.
In the looks department I think Isuzu has
got the styling spot on. They went for a fresh
but not out of this world design, while stay-
ing true to Isuzus signature design details.
Inthefront,xenonlook-alikelightclustersare
surrounded by some very shiny chrome ac-
cents. The newKB does not feature the signa-
ture intercooler hood-scoop which the diesel
models had. The bakkie is fitted with a
chromed-out rear bumper were the park-as-
sist can be found. This is anotherwelcome ad-
dition to modern bakkies.
The previous KB 300 D-Teq was fitted with
a 3.0 liter 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel mill
which produced 120 kW/360Nm. The newKB
uses the sameenginewithupgraded internals
and electronics which raises the power to a
130 kW/380 Nm. The extra bit of power is wel-
comed but owners of the previous model
should not expect to be blown away.
Two things I was however impressed by
was the almost silent idle. This was at first
quite strange due to the fact that Isuzu has
always had a very distinct engine noise.
But the new sound is welcomed along
with a improved ride on all surfaces.
When I heard that Isuzu stuck with a 5-
speed gearbox I reserved my scepticism.
Only after a good few kilometres in and
around town, I can honestly say that its
not bad at all. Only having five cogs to slap
around meant that third, fourth and fifth
were geared longer to help lower fuel con-
sumption and improve overtaking. This
same5-speedallowedfor lessdownshifting
while sipping little amounts of diesel. So
little in fact that the KB has class-leading
fuel economy. I achieved figures of about
8,5 litres/100km on the open road while in
town it went up to around 10 litres/100km.
With an 80 liter fuel tank you can easily
get past the 800 km range.
Being a double cab bakkie, rivals are a
certainty, with the likes of Hilux, Ranger
andAmarok all competing for the top spot.
The KB comes in at a competitive price of
R410 440 for the 300D-Teq LX 4X2.
A5year/120 000 kmwarrantyalongwith
a 5 year/90 000 km service plan is included
as standard.
If your are an Isuzu fan or you currently
own one, the latest offering would certain-
ly not disappoint. The KB features more
of the trusted quality buyers came to ex-
pect from Isuzu after four decades of doing
what they do best building a flippen
good bakkie.
It is on gravel roads like these where some new KBs would do most of their mileage. With a
compliant ride and good ground clearance the new KB is a very good bakkie. Do yourself a fa
vour and test drive one today or visit www.isuzu.co.za for more details. PHOTO: FRANS LE ROUX

ToyotaAurisXRCVT: thehonest change
HANJO STIER
Many years ago there was a hatchback
ToyotacalledTazz, apurelySouthAfrican
invention for the five-door Corolla shape.
This cheapie offspring could only watch
VWsGolf and other premiumhatchbacks
drive off into the sunset.
TazzandCitiGolfbattled itout forentry-lev-
el sales while Toyota South Africa had no an-
swer to Golf, Astra, etc. That was until the
RunX came along, another local-is-lekker
name for what wouldve passed as a perfectly
good Corolla hatchback elsewhere.
The RunX had a sense of honest simplicity
about it, something most Toyota owners ap-
preciate. Itwas far frombeautiful yet pleasing
to the eye, especiallywith some biggerwheels
to fill those great Toyota wheel arches.
Its successor was the world-market Auris,
anotherToyota thatwasnt bad looking or bad
todrive. Italsogaveusatasteof things tocome
with more curves, better proportions and a
rather exciting dashboard and instrument
cluster.
This year saw the introduction of the sec-
ond-generation Auris which showcases Toyo-
tas newdesign languagewith daring lines de-
fining a slightlymore aggressive shape. Some
observersnotedKorean influencewhich, con-
sidering what theyre up to nowadays, is a
back-handed compliment.
Its interior is also a refreshing change from
previous attempts with a whiff of retro and
86. The dash rises almost vertically andmeets
thecentral tunnel through1970sMercedesair
ventsandasilverswoopwhich(bigsigh)hous-
es the obligatory 1982 Toyota clock.
This top-spec XRs climate control also re-
lies on old-school LCD displays but its efforts
are flawless. A big touch-screen infotainment
system takes centre stage and offers features
like radio, CD, mp3, Aux, USB, Bluetooth and
a reversing camera.
Instrumentation is clearly drawn with a
good trip computer and chrome-ringed main
instruments behind a fat, adjustable, multi-
function steering wheel. The wheels bottom
sectionhasabig silveraccent, asdoes thegear
lever surround, both front door handles and
two round air vents.
Leather covers most other surfaces and is
held togetheracross thebellyof thedashboard
by beautifully contrasting white stitches.
These are reflected in the door pockets and
whereas Toyota still has their own idea of
what leather should lookand feel like, thenew
Auris front seats got heaps of praise.
Therearseats fold ina60/40split to increase
luggage capacity and you get the usual sus-
pects like central locking, alloywheels, power
windows and mirrors, multiple airbags, ad-
vanced ABS brakes, vehicle stability control,
ISOFIX anchors, cup holders, alarm and im-
mobiliser as standard.
Powering the Auris XR is a 1,598cc 4-cylin-
der petrol engine (97kW/132hp/160Nm)
through either a six-speedmanual gearbox or
CVT (continually variable transmission).
Most people gasp, freeze or recoil in horror
at thementionof those three lettersbut thank-
fully we have a CVT owner on our team.
Said owner confirmed that this Toyota has
a pleasing combination of bubbly engine and
excellent response. There isnt much throttle
take-up delay and youll only have to endure
the hair-raising constant scream if you need
full power.
Cruising around town or on the highway is
extremely smooth, quite frugal (claimed
6.1L/100km, 143g CO/km) and very relaxing
because the 160Nm of torque really do more
than they promise. This box also offersmanu-
al gear simulation for situations when you
simply need to keep the revs up.
Comparative 1,600 automatic hatchbacks
range fromR198 995 toR291 000against theXR
CVTs asking price of R265 600, not factoring
in specification levels.
Included in the Auris price is a 3-
year/100 000 km warranty and 5-
year/90 000 kmserviceplan. -GalimotoMedia
