Why Principal Property Solutions?

Real Estate Agency Firm Set-Up

Benefit from partnering with a business backed by four decades of experience across all sectors of the real estate industry and a recognised expert in real estate training and compliance.  Our founder, Janet Alexander, has been a participant in various property government committees and national property institutions where she shared her expertise in property law, property development schemes, PPRA compliance and training of successful sales teams. She also has extensive hands-on experience in the industry, having managed a development agency, Prop2000, which built and registered 1600 houses for two consecutive years.  Her expertise spans the entire property spectrum, from sourcing development land and owning a share in the development to securing mandates for sales, rentals, managing agency services and ensuring every last unit in every development is sold.

As the founder and managing director of PropAcademy, she pioneered a new approach to property practitioner education and learning, helping hundreds of practitioners to achieve statutory educational compliance.

Drawing on this unsurpassed level of expertise, Property Principal Services is well-placed to deliver what you need for success in our highly competitive industry, regardless of your property specialisation.

Our expertise in compliance cannot be bought or borrowed. It has been earned over time and moulded into a solution that is simple to use.

And you’re not in it alone. As our client, you receive monthly support services that help you stay ahead.  Because when you’re equipped for success, your agents will be too. We deliver a compelling combination.

“Janet has always worked closely with the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority and its predecessor, the EAAB, and is well known to us. She is of particular value as a stakeholder and source of expertise to our education department. She has joined us on various panels and participated actively in events aimed at increasing property practitioners’ knowledge of the industry’s legislation and compliance requirements. Her contributions have always been of great value to all. Her input and dedication to the industry is highly commendable.”

Principal Services

Do you want to work independently rather than as part of a large organisation?  We offer incredible commission packages and will tailor-make your solution.  This is how we can help you:

  • Monthly mentoring: A 30-minute online session/webinar is scheduled monthly with one of our expert Principal or Acting Principal practitioners.  Should any query require additional research from our team, it will be reported back in an email within five working days from the date of the webinar.
  • Training: provided for any practitioners and/or their staff members. This is standard real estate agency training held to encourage staff to increase sales and work within the firm’s policies and procedures. This does not include the regulated training legislated by the PPRA.
  • Monthly compliance checks: Our expert Principal practitioner will visit your office, either remotely or in person, once a month to ensure that the correct documentation is being used and is signed off correctly and that all compliance requirements are in place.
  • Administrative assistance: Assistance is provided for all compliance documents and contracts. A full company policy document can be supplied, which can then be adapted to individual agency needs.
  • Marketing: Practitioners and agencies can list all their for-sale and for-rent properties on the new Property Principal Services platform. The monthly fee also includes advertising on a property website.
  • Online resource sites: Access to online resource sites to assist with property assessments is provided. This includes access to a provider which supplies a detailed market analysis of all properties.
  • Referral structure: Referrals are under-utilised in the marketplace, and we promote referrals within our platform. This is to ensure that all sellers’ properties are sold, whether by us or by another agency from which we receive a referral commission.

With recent legislation requiring the compliance of all property practitioners, some practitioners have found it difficult to achieve or maintain compliance. They need the assistance of a compliant Principal Property practitioner.

The benefits of having Property Principal Services as your Principal practitioner are the same as those outlined in the Principal Services section.

We tailor-make your solution to fit your needs.  For a free, no-obligation appointment, please click here.

The benefit of professional and expert mentoring when taking on the mammoth task of operating an estate agency firm cannot be overstated. This is especially the case when you have to manage property practitioners and staff.  We offer a monthly mentoring session of thirty minutes for the principals of estate agency firms, providing an opportunity to meet with an experienced principal practitioner who is well-versed in all aspects of real estate.

Annual Estate Agency Compliance

Real Estate Agency Compliance

Annual Compliance = Peace-of-Mind

Let your estate agency firm get on with doing what estate agency firms are supposed to do – buy, sell, rent or develop property – while you sleep easily knowing that you can rely on us to ensure compliance with the Property Practitioners Regulatory Authority, the Financial Intelligence Centre and other regulatory bodies.

We also track your agents’ compliance with the PPRA.

It’s called Peace of Mind for a reason.

We will contact you regularly throughout the year, guiding you through all compliance requirements.  Where necessary, we will assist you with the regulatory documentation.

Please click here if you would like to utilise our Peace-of-Mind offering.

Estate Agency Firm Set-Up

With all the recent and ongoing changes to the Property Practitioners Act No 22 of 2019 and Regulations 33 and 34, having an expert advise you on how to set up your business makes perfect sense.  We take this one step further.  We ensure that you register with the correct authorities and track your application from start to fruition.

And that is not all.

We will supply you with contracts, administrative documents, procedures and checklists.  Because we are well-versed in all aspects of real estate, we can help and advise you in these specialised fields.

Our service consists of a half-hour introductory webinar and then a half-day visit to your offices to ensure your systems are up and running effectively.

Our service will last six months from the date you register with us.  If your set-up for any unforeseen reason takes longer than that, our service will extend to a maximum of one year from the registration date.
