The new venture also perfectly complements Kelly and Shaun’s existing property
development initiatives. Both their names are synonymous with savvy real estate
investments throughout the greater Helderberg region. As Kelly observes,
“We know that the exclusive marketing, technological and general industry experience
that the Fine & Country brand offers will put us ahead of our competition and give our clients,
in particular sellers, the edge in achieving the highest prices in the shortest time possible.
This venture enables us to market more exclusive, high-end properties to the widest
possible audiences. It will have the added benefit of allowing developers who partner
with us to market their more niche products to a wider range of clients.”

According to Kelly, they plan to employ agents who complement the brand, have the
knowledge and drive to provide the service clients deserve, and who are best able to
create awareness of the Fine & Country brand. She adds, “In the modern world, it is
absolutely essential to stay abreast of technological and marketing trends in one’s industry.
We are therefore really looking forward to networking with our Fine & Country associates
at the Warwickshire Gold Cup polo tournament in the UK in July (the first of more expos
and events in the future) and to utilising the range of tools and relevant industry information
we’ll be provided with at such events.”
