John with his good friend Obi
This ‘n That
As you may have gathered my name is John. Here’s a brief introduction and some of my thoughts on this weblog.
I am married to my wonderful wife, S. Together we are blessed with seven children, all of whom are grown-up adults now and most of whom have children of their own. Their extended number can no longer be counted on the fingers of both hands.
The coastal town of Hermanus is a place of great beauty. Located on the Southern tip of Africa, close to the Cape of Agullas, it is the Whale Watching Capital of the world. Our clients are among the many local and international visitors that enjoy Hermanus all year round. Many of these we are fortunate to count as true friends.
As real estate business partners, our association is rewarding on many levels and fuels a career aspiration: to practice the highest standards of real estate professionalism.

The dog pictured above with me is “Obi”, a breed that is truly indigenous to South Africa. You can find out more about Obi here. Yes, he is indeed named after “Obi-Wan-kenobi” a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. You will not believe how many times that question comes up.
Thank you for visiting,
