From Dead Zone to Growth Zone
In property management, pricing is much more than just numbers. It's a direct reflection of the value you bring as a community manager. Yet in South Africa, many property managers find themselves stuck in the "pricing dead zone," where fees don’t match the level of effort and responsibility required to manage communities effectively. Let’s unpack how strategic pricing communicates value, explore key pricing models, and discuss why refining your pricing approach is essential for property managers aiming to escape the dead zone and thrive.

Mastering 5 Essential Conversations to Enhance Value in Asset Management
Rental asset management is about much more than just overseeing rental properties. It's about strategically enhancing and optimising these assets to deliver maximum returns for investors. Modern investors expect their rental asset managers to do more than just manage the basics – they’re looking for expertise that drives capital growth, reduces risk, and provides clear, actionable insights for future investments. The good news is that, by aligning your core activities with investor needs, not only can you fulfil these expectations, you can also position yourself as an invaluable partner in their investment journey.

From Rugby to Property Management
In 2023, the Springboks achieved a historic feat by clinching their fourth Rugby World Cup title, becoming the first team to achieve such a milestone. Their journey, chronicled in Season 1 and 2 of "Chasing the Sun," serves as an inspiration for teams worldwide. What makes the Springboks such an exceptional team goes beyond their victories; it's about their approach to winning. However, their success wasn't immediate. Reflecting on the 2015 Rugby World Cup, where South Africa faced a humiliating defeat to Japan, and ultimately, a failed world cup campaign, reveals the team's journey wasn't always smooth. Yet, bold leadership from Rassie Erasmus and Jacques Nienaber transformed the team from underdogs to champions. How did they do it and what can we learn from them?
