Kwazulu-Natal’s Tyson Properties has added another international award to its collection – winner of Best Real Estate Agency Website in Africa at the recent International Property Awards 2013, an accolade which has delighted the Tyson Properties team and confirmed them as having both feet firmly in the 21st century; a contemporary regional brand with an excellent grasp of both global and local trends as regards the changing needs of property buyers and sellers.

With rapidly increasing numbers of people researching areas and seeking property information and advice on line, a clean, well-designed website that’s strongly customer-centric and easy to navigate is a major drawcard for buyers and sellers alike. Today’s public demands a real estate website that is up-to-date with its properties, information and advice. Implicit in the awarding of this accolade from the International Property Awards 2013, is that Tyson Properties’ website ticks all the boxes of accurate information, visual appeal, clarity and attention to detail.

Tyson Properties, long recognised as a trail blazer within the Kwazulu-Natal property industry, was established in August 2005 by CEO Chris Tyson, and business partner, Gavin Cunningham. The company has grown rapidly to become one of the leading estate agencies in KwaZulu-Natal with over 250 agents in 19 offices across the province. Tyson Properties’ success is attributed to resolute professionalism and commitment to customer service. This has, in turn, enabled the company to attract and retain some of the top property professionals in KwaZulu-Natal, in the commercial, industrial and residential sectors.

“As Africa’s fastest growing city, Durban is an exciting place to work,” says Tyson. “Being one of the country’s most beautiful provinces with world-class beaches, mountains and wilderness areas, the second largest contributor to national gross domestic profit, and home to Africa’s busiest port, KwaZulu-Natal is the perfect home to a company that prides itself on both innovation and professionalism. This is the province which offers everything from sublime weather to sensational holiday accommodation, high-end residential gated estates to prime investment opportunities. It’s a province still growing into itself, which means opportunities a-plenty for entrepreneurs.”

For investors and newcomers to the province, KwaZulu-Natal is becoming increasingly attractive. Right now, the range of dynamic and diverse plans being rolled out by the City offers untold opportunities for commercial and industrial investment throughout the province. Whether it’s the blueprint for the new Rapid Transport System or unlocking investment/commercial potential in a range of specified zones and nodes, there’s no province in the next decade which has the volume or diversity of opportunities on the table for the taking. 

It’s no secret that Durban’s northern suburbs like Durban North, La Lucia and Umhlanga have experienced superb growth at the top end of the residential scale, as have gated communities like Izinga and Mount Edgecombe. But there are other areas in the middle and lower price ranges which have been identified as having significantly higher investment growth profiles, like Berea and Bulwer (in Glenwood). The property landscape in KwaZulu-Natal is full of surprises for those not in the know, and for investors and homeowners alike, dealing with Tyson Properties’ experienced estate agents with their regional insider savvy, is the smart route to go.

As Tyson says, “More and more of the country’s top talents and large corporates are establishing themselves in our back yard in KwaZulu-Natal, and Tyson Properties is perfectly positioned to guide them in purchasing the properties of their dreams. 

Tyson Properties offers clients an established presence in the market, an award-winning website with an advanced back-end operation system, highly trained real estate agents, and a strong marketing focus not only on the upper end of the residential market, but also on commercial and industrial markets.  The company also has a strong rental division.
