Herby grew up in Onrus River, Hermanus. Raised in a family familiar with, and dealing in Real Estate, he became actively involved in this industry in 1997. Property and Real Estate have always been his primary interest and gave him a sense of belonging.

While still being continuously involved in property development in South Africa, he also worked abroad for 12 years, serving in the Facilities Management and Hard Services Industry for a market-leading investment bank, based in the UK. He serviced their EMEA (Europe Middle East and Africa) portfolio across the whole region.
He was awarded an Award of Excellence for business support and development in the EMEA region.

He is confident that his passion for Real Estate, his business experience abroad, his enthusiasm and determination and his sheer passion for people, are the keys for building a successful career based on strong relationships and work ethics.

His confidence and trust in the Harcourts Brand gives him a platform positioning him to continuously exceed his customer's expectations, and this has led to him being decorated as the Number 1 Harcourts South Africa Property Practitioner, as well as receiving numerous other achievement awards.
