Deborah Snyman, principal of Acutts Hillcrest says..

Just over 2 years ago we made the decision to move to Acutts Real Estate from another franchise group for their state of the art real systems and support. It was the best decision we have made to date. The Acutts name is legendary and being part of real estate group has greatly enhanced our business. By putting us in touch with the closely knit franchise which gives our business national exposure we simply can only sing their praises. Acutts is a house-hold name country wide, and we are proud to be part of this respected property family.

Craig Bell, principal of Acutts Bluff for 20 years says..

Having been around for some 20 years now in the Acutts group, I have been blessed in forging some wonderful relationships. It has been an amazing journey and continues to be so every day. One of our greatest testaments is the privilege of dealing with past clients over and over and is in no small way due to our Acutts heritage of always striving to provide the highest service levels delivered with the utmost integrity. Whilst we enjoy our "old world charm", we embrace positive change and the need to constantly improve ourselves and look forward to our latest endeavour.
