For more than 50 years, the Seeff brand has been the preferred and trusted choice in real estate. Seeff Strand, located on Beach Road in Strand, has been a leading force in the industry for over 23 years, often recognized as a landmark by the Helderberg community. Originally founded in 2000 by the late Kobus Lubbe, Seeff Strand gained prominence during the early 2000s property boom, with Kobus and his life partner, Eldie Gerber, making significant contributions by selling out well-known developments like Villa Castello, Gulden Park, Broadway, Atlanta, Chianti Heights, and more.
In 2008, Alten Vermaak entered the real estate industry under Mr. Lubbe's mentorship, navigating the challenges posed by the economic slump of the time. Despite the downturn, Mr. Vermaak excelled, later becoming the sole owner of Seeff Strand in 2018. Under his leadership, the branch experienced remarkable growth in both sales and rentals, achieving the highest market share in both divisions. In July 2023, Mr. Vermaak re-acquired the license for Seeff Gordon's Bay, expressing confidence in his dynamic team to continue the company's growth while maintaining exceptional service.
