Property Buyer's Representative
Majority of buyers go to a broker or real estate agent for advice; however, they are engaged by the Seller and may not always act in the buyer’s best interests. Approach Property. Management. Consulting represents you, the buyer, in devising and implementing an appropriate strategy and tactics to successfully acquire a particular or suitable property.
Our established national network of alliances will keep you well ahead of the rest. What do you gain?
Time… by having a professional search the market for you. Eliminate the stress and frustration of being shown inappropriate and unsuitable properties by selling agents that don’t listen to buyer’s needs. Having a professional negotiator to obtain the lowest possible price (the Seller has an agent on their side!). Gain access to the entire market including off-market listings (not all properties are advertised). Completing a due diligence in a real estate transaction should be a vital part of the property buying experience.
It gives the buyer an opportunity to have the property properly inspected and to even have the neighbourhood investigated for possible downfalls, thus removing the costly element of surprise; Approach PMC is equipped to attend to residential and commercial due diligence reports.

Property Inspections
Be informed, before committing!
To quote Wikipedia…”A home inspection is a limited, non-invasive examination of the condition of a home, often in connection with the sale of that home. … A home inspector is sometimes confused with a real estate appraiser. A home inspector determines the condition of a structure, whereas an appraiser determines the value of a property.”
Our property inspection surveys have been developed with SANS 10400 (The South African Bureau of Standards) as reference. SANS 10400 is deemed to satisfy minimum national standards for building in South Africa.
APPROACH PROPERTY INSPECTION’s survey and twenty-point report includes:
Zoning and land use regulations; Structural specifications; Water supply and drainage; Electric hot water geysers; Solar water heaters; Glazing; Swimming pool safety; Handrails and balustrades; Waterproofing of buildings; Insect and pest infestation. We also attend to Snag lists on new buildings.
Remember, a home inspection is not a deal MAKER or BREAKER, but it does allow time and opportunity for consideration and / or renegotiation.
Agents and Sellers, you need a new APPROACH to the challenging and time-consuming process of obtaining certificates from the municipality, as well as the physical inspection report for the property you are selling!
Under the Spatial Planning and Land Use Management Act (SPLUMA), all municipalities will have to be compliant. That entails that you, the Seller, must ensure that:
Building plans for all buildings (including the swimming pool etc.) are in order, i.e. submitted and stamped as approved. Should the plans not be compliant, the seller will need to appoint an architect or draughtsman to prepare the plans for lodgement with the municipality. The use of the property is in accordance with municipal zoning and there are no encroachments over the building lines or property boundaries.

Save Your Business Into Profit
Increasing profits by proper cost management.
Face it, even when you are great at what you do, there is always room for improvement.
In other words: bringing in a “profit management consultant’ is something to consider whether you have been having issues or not. You may find that it inspires you to approach your business operations in new ways, or that it stimulates your staff to go the extra mile!
How does it work?
We conduct an initial expenses audit, confidentially gather as much as possible raw data required to conduct the project. This takes a day or two. It is not necessary for our clients to assign staff to this as we provide all the resources required; you just need to share the information with us.
Analysis and Savings Identification: This is the body of the project whereby we identify and quantify your cost of business savings.
Then follows the final Report: This contains all the information in relation to the now identified savings in your business. It includes where the savings come from, how to achieve them, calculation of the savings etc.
We do not just give you a Report and run… we will also ensure that the recommendations for savings are actually implemented on the ground, because after all, there’s a catch: If we can’t show business cost savings, we don’t get paid!
If you wish, APPROACH PMC can monitor the implementation and the general cost savings for an agreed extended period, in order to guarantee that you continue to get the savings as outlined in the Final Report.
here’s a challenge: save your business into a profitable position!
