Alex Thornhill Properties is one of the oldest established real estate agencies in Kimberley.
Connie Thornhill, a well-known resident of Kimberley, tells the story of how her late husband, Alex, established the agency nearly 32 years ago.
“It’s truly a family business. Today we are a mother and son team and we simply love what we do.”
Connie and Eugene, her son, work together to continue the agency that Alex started. “We built our agency on a foundation of honesty and integrity. We are therefore rightfully proud of the profession, our enthusiastic and efficient team of agents and the high level of service we have been able to maintain.”
Latest property information
Connie says the team always strive to give their best. “We ensure we stay abreast of market trends, developments and the latest property information in all categories of real estate. Our clients can be assured that we will render a one-stop, reliable, high class service, aligned with regulatory requirements.”
City rich in history
The Thornhills love Kimberley – their home and the city of diamonds. “It has all the conveniences of a big city, yet is unpretentious enough to have the feel of a ‘lekker plattelandse dorp’. We have friendly people, excellent educational facilities, beautiful suburbs, a healthy climate and the city is rich in history.”
Contribute to community
Connie says selling property in this historical town is more than a career. “It’s an opportunity to contribute to the community and to help people discover the uniqueness of this diamond – our city.” The team have strived to offer a unique real estate service that incorporates new dynamic solutions for distinctive customer need, while embracing traditional values and sound business practice.
Integrity, honesty, keeping promises
“We are proud to say that we have always conducted this well established family business with integrity, honesty and by keeping our promises. We keep to our agreements, doing what we said we would do, when we said we would do it. Doing what others expect of us, even when we did not explicitly agree to it and immediately communicating openly to all parties if we are unable to honour any part of our commitment. Embracing and living by this definition of integrity allows us to not only provide excellent service to all our clients, but also to show the utmost respect and honor to ourselves and others.”
Connie adds they are passionate about South Africa and especially Gariep – Kimberley. “We are motivated by our vision to fulfil the rights enshrined in the constitution of our country, that everyone has the right to have access to adequate housing. Our vision is that Alex Thornhill Properties will be instrumental in every property deal that improves the lives and the property value of the residents of Kimberley.”
The team lives by the words of Winston Churchill: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.”
