Dunnett
Non-Principal Property Practitioner
Platinum
As a Somerset West real estate agent with Harcourts Platinum, I bring a rare combination of local expertise, legal knowledge, and strategic marketing to every sale. My focus is on achieving premium results for homeowners across Roundhay, Bizweni, Olive Grove, and the wider Somerset West property market.
Before joining Harcourts Platinum, I owned and operated a successful Harcourts franchise, giving me deep insight into what drives high-performance real estate businesses and successful property transactions. Earlier in my career, I worked extensively in conveyancing law, handling property transfers, bond registrations, and cancellations — a background that ensures my clients enjoy a secure, seamless, and legally sound sales process from listing to registration.
My approach is built on three core principles: Clarity. Confidence. Competition.
I believe sellers deserve more than a simple listing — they deserve a strategic, high-exposure marketing plan that attracts serious buyers and creates genuine urgency in the marketplace. That’s why I proudly use Harcourts Platinum’s Non-Distressed Auction platform — a game-changing, transparent, and time-defined selling method that delivers exceptional results through competitive bidding and qualified buyers. Our auctions are changing the way properties are sold in Somerset West, combining speed, fairness, and market-driven value.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does a non-distressed auction differ from a traditional sale?
Non-distressed auctions are not forced sales — they’re a strategic, market-driven way to sell. Every buyer competes on equal terms, giving sellers faster, more transparent results. It’s real estate done smarter.
2. Will I get a fair market price if I sell my property at auction?
Yes. Our non-distressed auctions attract qualified, motivated buyers, often achieving market or above-market prices. The competition determines the value — not pressure.
3. Can I make an offer before the auction date?
Yes, we accept strong pre-auction offers, provided they meet the seller’s expectations. The process is flexible, transparent, and designed to deliver the best outcome for both buyer and seller.
