Submitted by: Marie Smal
Harcourts is known not only for our innovation in real estate technology and customer experience journeys but recognized as a real estate company that continues to explore opportunities and break new ground. Harcourts Offshore is one such example. A culmination of Harcourts South Africa's leading business owners are taking the Harcourts brand to the exciting new aquamarine land of Mauritius.
'The moment this opportunity came across our paths we knew that the possibilities were endless, as Mauritius is fast becoming an extremely sought after real estate destination. Favourable conditions for investment paired with the power of Harcourts,' explained Denis Dunn, co-owner of Harcourts Offshore.
South Africans have been escaping to Mauritius for holidays over many decades, but in recent years the opportunity for broadening horizons and seeking alternative investments has led South Africans to not only purchase homes there but to obtain residency too.
'We have already seen demand from South African investors to explore this exciting emerging economy. Positive capital growth, low interest rates, fractional ownership and exceptional tax savings translates into a perfect balance between living and real return on investments,' added Eberhard Kruger one of the owners of Harcourts Offshore.
Husband and wife team Hartwieg and Azelle Du Rand who were already distinguished Harcourts business owners knew that creating opportunities for South Africans to invest abroad is something they had to be a part of. 'There was a lot of background work that had to be perfectly rolled out to ensure this dream comes to fruition. We are not only a group of highly successful business owners but we are people who believe in the economic growth of our citizens. Exploring foreign investment opportunities not only helps grow their economy but our own too.'
