Roger Hoaten

I grew up, and was schooled in Durban North and attended the University of Natal where I graduated with a BA (Law) and an LLB degree in 1982. I then qualified and was admitted, as an Attorney of the High Court of South Africa in 1987. I spent 27 years working as a corporate lawyer and a director on the board of several multinational corporates both in South Africa, the UK and Sweden.
Hailing from a family that has been prominent in the real estate industry for over 25 years, my wife and I finally followed the family lead and our passion for property and acquired the Seeff licence for the Berea in 2013.

My wife and I decided to sell as in addition to managing our business, working as a partnership combining our professional skills in accounting and law to deliver a highly specialised service to our clients.
In our first nine months of selling property, we concluded over R50 million in sales, specialising exclusively in sole mandates. All of these sales were concluded at between 93 and 100% of advertised price and on average were sold within 32 days of listing.

Our success is further reflected in the fact that we have been Seeff KwaZulu Natal's Top Selling Licensee Partnership in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019 as well as a finalist for Most Improved Licencee of the Year in 2016. In 2016 we concluded the highest ever recorded sectional title sale in the history of the Berea at R18 million and in 2019 one of the highest recorded house sales on the Berea at R10,1 million. We are area specialists and have personally sold over 120 properties on the Berea in the past 5 years, 95% of which were sole mandates."
