CILLIERS AUCTIONEERS
ABOUT US
Cilliers Auctioneers was established in 2014 as a department within Cilliers & Associates. Cilliers Auctioneers specializes in the marketing and selling of immovable property within Insolvent Estates and Liquidations. This department was established to focus primarily on a “out of hand” sales approach as to Physical Auction. The specific focus thereof coincides with the ongoing approach by majority Trustees / Creditors in obtaining the best possible offer for any immovable property within an Insolvent Estate. This process of obtaining reasonable and acceptable offers falls within a specified marketing period stipulated by the appointed administrative Trustee / Seller.
Johan Cilliers is the acting Principal of Cilliers & Associates. He is an attorney at law and is registered with the Legal Practice Council. Johan Cilliers has been practising as an attorney since 2004. Heinz Kruger, a qualified Auctioneer by trade through the Hedley Harris South African College of Auctioneers [SACA] by trade since 2003, and a specialist Auctioneer regarding immovable property within Insolvent Estates. He is the acting Head of Operations Insolvent Estates. He has been a full-time Auctioneer since 2003 and worked for numerous well known Auctioneering firms in the past.
Heinz Kruger is assisted by a team of experienced and candidate in-house Consultants with a network that spans the whole of South Africa. The team consists of Jolinde Kruger [Qualified PP Mentor & Head of Private Sales and Developments], Zelda Ferreira [Candidate PP & Consultant], Rupert Opperman [Expert in Insolvent Estates/Law and in-house advisor], Mark Engelbrecht [Digital Platforms & Webmaster], Mpho Makhado [Qualified PP & Consultant] and Rofhiwa Makhado [Qualified PP & Consultant].
The specific aim Cilliers Auctioneers focuses on is with our motto: “WE NEGOTIATE DEALS” in mind. The high demand for equity in obtaining property as a long term “pension” option through rental income attracts more and more buyers to Insolvent Estate properties. This demand opens the door for prospective buyers to submit “reasonable offers” and the possibility to obtain a property at somewhat lower than market value. Obtaining Insolvent Estate property should lead to building a rental portfolio as there is significant growth in the rental market. More so equity!
