Navigating the property market with Mwaala Real Estate

In a recent interview with My.Na Properties, Shilongo Shilongo, the founder of Mwaala Real Estate, shared insights into the real-estate landscape, offering valuable advice to both property owners and prospective buyers or renters.

Nearly two years since its establishment, Mwaala Real Estate has grown into a notable player in the sector.

When asked about the key factors to make a property more appealing, Shilongo emphasised the pivotal role of property condition.

"The first thing sellers need to do is to check whether the house is in good condition. If it's not, they just have to renovate it so that it is appealing to clients."

"There are defects that are visible and some that are not so visible. The clients have to share with us all the defects of the property so that we can properly advise prospective renters or buyers," he added.

Shilongo stressed the importance of thorough planning and financial readiness for first-time renters, saying: "It's important that you plan properly and have the funds, as well as the proof of funds available".

Explaining the concept of inclusive and exclusive costs in property transactions, he stated: "Inclusive and exclusive costs basically mean these costs are either included with the marketed price or it is excluded, or there are additional costs excluding the marketed price".

Shilongo further provided an overview of the company's current property listings. "I currently have a couple of residential and commercial properties available for sale. I also have commercial and residential plots available for sale. We make use of posters and social media ads as well as newspaper and radio ads to get the word out about Mwaala Real Estate."

He invited potential clients to connect through Facebook and Instagram, or to call him at 081 124 5832.
