Prior to joining the world of property, Jay was a jewellery designer and goldsmith. Then, he met his wife-to-be, Alwene, and he too took the plunge into the industry.

For Jay, the best part of being in the property industry is the fact that every day is a new beginning and a new adventure with different people from diverse backgrounds and each with their own unique story to tell and home to find.

With his creative background, Jay is able to do things differently and it’s important to him to constantly innovate and think imaginatively.

Alwene and Jay are especially grateful for the many friends they have made through their clients. In finding a home for others, you build relationships and get to know people. With their warmth and social personalities, it’s no wonder that they have made many good friends over the years.

The Seeff family atmosphere is the perfect fit for both Alwene and Jay. They appreciate the flexibility which enables them to travel and they absolutely love the Umhlanga lifestyle. You couldn’t ask for better – an outdoors lifestyle, the beach, social coffee shops, friends and family. Jay says that for him, Umhlanga is the heart beat of South Africa.

Client Testimonials

"I will recommend Seeff and especially Jay to all my friends. Thank you."  It's been a pleasure to deal with Jay from the first moment we met. No agents that I phoned, called me back and I urgently needed to move.  Jay phoned me back and arranged a viewing on the same day. He was very efficient and sent me all these listings. He had an electronic business card that he forwarded me while we did the viewing. I was in a huge panic as another agent let me down. He managed to secure property for me and helped me within 9 days from start to finish. He phoned me afterwards to find out how I was doing and if I was settled in. As a single mum I really appreciated the follow-up. I will recommend Seeff and especially Jay to all my friends. Thank you.

"Not only is he my estate agent; I now consider him a friend." I had bought my first property with the intention of living there until I had to relocate suddenly to Johannesburg. I did not know where or how to start the process on letting it out; that was until I had a chat to Jay Els. I had Jay's number through a personal friend and we arranged to talk about the pros and cons of letting the property out. I was a bit tentative at first as I had heard some horror stories around renting and tenants. After meeting and chatting to Jay; I accepted to go with Seeff but specifically with Jay. He took the time to thoroughly explain everything and removed any fear I had of renting out my place. That was 3 years ago and I choose to only deal with Jay Els and all my future properties.  He keeps me in the loop at all times of the process and I appreciate the professional communication skills that he has. It makes it very easy to either call or WhatsApp him and I have comfort in knowing that whatever the issue is it will be sorted. Not only is he my estate agent; I now consider him a friend.
