I help serious Parkmore home sellers to sell quickly. I do this by offering my FREE Valet service to the value of R10,000.00 to spruce up their home before listing it. We have our own team of reliable handymen who fix up tiles, repaint, fix windows, replaster and do other odd jobs in order to get a property looking at it’s best before marketing it. This is what we call SPVP ( Shain Properties Valet Package ) This will be more convenient to a property seller and save them money and the hassle of hiring unknown workers. This process will help to sell faster and achieve a higher price for their property.
