We get to know two real estate companies here on the North Coast, as they share informative and interesting knowledge in the property industry.
A Dynamic DuoÂ
Azure Coastal Real Estate, powered by eXp Realty, is carving out a unique space in the North Coast real estate market. They leverage the resources of eXp Realty, a cloud-based, global real estate company that is the fastest-growing in the world, to offer personalised service that stands out from other independent agents. eXp provides a launchpad for agents to build their personal brands, with benefits such as a 96% commission split, which allows agents to reinvest more into their business and accelerate their careers.
As a Millennial-led sales and marketing duo, Azure blends traditional values with modern, tech-savvy approaches to real estate. With six years of experience in Ballito, they’ve created an exclusive service for high-end clients, aiming to restore trust in estate agents and elevate the buying and selling experience. Their approach is based on handling only a limited number of properties at any given time, ensuring each listing receives their full attention.
What sets Azure apart is their expertise in digital marketing and social media; they’ve become adept at targeting the right audience, and bringing the best of Ballito’s lifestyle to the forefront. Collaborating with some of South Africa’s top digital marketing experts, Azure employs advanced strategies, including Google, YouTube, Meta ads, as well as SEO, to engage qualified buyers.
In terms of generational property preferences, Azure notes that while luxury beachfront properties remain popular among older, wealthier buyers, the prestigious estates in Ballito cater to a diverse mix of ages and lifestyles. Younger buyers are interested in more affordable coastal living options, often seeking holiday investment opportunities.
They are currently developing a free video series aimed at debunking industry myths and providing real estate insights in a fun, digestible format. Their client-centred approach is reflected in their mottos: “Exceptional Homes – Exclusive Service” for buyers and “Maximising your property’s potential” for sellers, underlining their commitment to excellence at every stage of the process.

Property Game-ChangersÂ
Huizemark, a proudly South African real estate brand, has been a symbol of honesty, vibrancy, and professionalism since its establishment in 1962. With a national footprint and a strong commitment to simplicity and collaboration, Huizemark’s approach has allowed it to thrive in the competitive real estate market. This success story extended to KwaZulu-Natal’s North Coast when the franchise opened its doors just two weeks before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
What started as a simple idea – to do real estate better and become their own bosses – quickly evolved into a mission of hard work, determination, and innovation. While many might enjoy the initial excitement of setting up a new venture, the team at Huizemark knew the true test would be in their ability to execute that vision with dedication, and it was this grit that propelled them forward.
What sets Huizemark apart from other agencies on the North Coast is their unwavering focus on the community, customer service, and the support they provide for their agents. Instead of simply selling properties, Huizemark has built a reputation for empowering their clients, whether they are first-time buyers or seasoned investors. By offering high-quality marketing and deeply rooted community involvement, they’ve successfully established themselves as a market leader.
Looking toward the future, Huizemark envisions continuing this growth with a forward-thinking strategy. With generational shifts in real estate preferences becoming more apparent, they plan to maintain their focus on community and personalised customer service while embracing digital transformation. Their vision includes a hybrid model, where technology enhances the buying and selling experience without losing the personal touch that clients still crave. By offering a blend of cutting-edge technology and concierge-level service, Huizemark aims to stay ahead of the curve and solidify its place as the number one real estate agency in the North Coast.
Through a combination of innovation, strong values, and an unwavering commitment to their clients, Huizemark continues to evolve and excel in the ever-changing real estate landscape.
