HELLO FROM PLETT, JANUARY 2013



It seems strange to say goodbye to 2012. By all accounts it has been a "Big" year.  Big drama with nationwide strikes, big tragedy with many people losing their lives in floods in Natal and the Eastern Cape and terrible carnage on our roads over the Festive Season, big joy, with a significant increase in the Matric pass rate, and the birth of our youngest RE/MAX Agent – Alexander Ritchie, son of Agent - Stephen Ritchie…… and even some big sales in our office to help pay the bills.

Now that the last of the mince pies have been consumed, the Christmas decorations packed away and New Year resolutions made and already broken, we have moved into the New Year, hopefully with the appropriate fanfare, and celebration, ready to tackle all that awaits us, not limping in unseen, clinging to what was, or could have been. Embrace the new challenges and victory will be yours!  

Our summer visitors have been blessed with the most perfect weather and warm seas, the ideal combination for enjoying long leisurely days on our beautiful beaches and sumptuous meals in our many restaurants. The summer vibe has been fantastic and the visitors and locals alike have been very patient and well behaved in the queues and shops bursting at the seams, with people eager to stock up with provisions before the “end of the world” which came and went without incident on 21st December!
The New Year has brought a new set of holiday makers, eager to enjoy our beaches, and keen to view property on “the first bad weather day”, which have been few and far between. From all accounts, this has been our best Season for several years, and everyone seems a little more confident in the future, especially as America managed to avoid falling off the Fiscal Cliff!!
