Ready to buy or sell? Do it with Charmaine Kemp, an estate agent who cares
Category General News
Let's face it: stepping into real estate, especially for the first time, can be a challenge. Thankfully, there's a property professional in Mbombela (Nelspruit) who is known for having a big heart and equally big skills in the industry. Charmaine Kemp has an exceptional ability to connect with clients on a personal level. And as Kellaprince Properties' 2023 Sales Agent Runner-up, she gets results whether helping to buy a dream home or selling one in record time.
Her heart's as big as your future home
All property practitioners have a superpower, whether it's bringing in leads or making marketing magic. Kemp says she takes pride in being able to see herself in other people's shoes and understanding their needs. "Everyone has a certain person they'd prefer to work with. However, I feel people can sense I genuinely care and want what's best for them. I like being honest and transparent with buyers and sellers."
This personal touch has stayed with Kemp from day one on the job. "My favourite memory will always be my first buyer," she smiles. "I really took a hands-on approach and afterwards they sent a message to say how happy they were with the house and thankful for my help. That was a very special moment that I will never forget."
Her passion will find your perfect fit
Kemp says the jump into property sales was an easy decision. "While I love the flexible schedule and unlimited earning potential, being able to work with people takes the cake. There's nothing better than seeing buyers happy in their new home or seeing sellers accept a good offer and move on to their next milestone."
This drive gives Kemp the fuel she needs to get through the day. "Typically, I start my mornings with finalising all my admin for transactions in process," she says. "Next, I follow up on my viewings and enquiries from the previous day with feedback to the owners. From around 10 am, I'll write listings or compile Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) reports. After picking up my teen from school around lunchtime, the afternoons are for viewings and prospecting for some new possible listings."
Her team always has her back
Behind every top estate agent is an agency that champions their success. Kemp says she can give clients 100% because of Kellaprince Properties. "I have done my rounds and although I learned from each agency I worked for, I feel at home with Kellaprince Properties because of the like-minded leaders and estate agents. The firm is very secure since they have been around for a very long time and know that being honest and loyal are your strongest building blocks."
Kemp also highlights the real estate agency's no-nonsense approach within the working environment. "Any differences are discussed immediately and issues are quickly resolved, which I appreciate," she highlights.
Her love for Mbombela has no bounds
Besides being grateful to work for a team she respects, Kemp is also happy to operate in the city she calls home. "Mbombela is a beautiful ever-growing city with so much potential for all living here," she shares. "While the economy may be pressing, people still move to Mbombela for all kinds of reasons and its thriving property market will always be a big contributor to wealth and growth."
Her tips to help you buy a home
For those ready to get the keys to a new home in their hands, Kemp says there's no time like the present. "Make sure you save enough money for your bond and/or transfer fees. You should also do your pre-qualification to ensure you are ready to buy the type of home you would like to own."
Kemp also emphasises that there's no rush to buy beyond your means. "Start small and gradually buy the better and bigger home you desire as your family grows and your income allows."
Her tips to help you sell a home
Like buying, selling a home can be the biggest decision a person will make in life. Kemp says starting the journey with a professional property practitioner can make a difference. "They will do a comparable market analysis to see if the market-related price matches with your expectations. From there, they will work on marketing your property, setting up property viewings, and handling negotiations on your behalf."
