I worked with Hester for a period of three years. She is a loyal, hardworking and target driven employee. The quality of her work is outstanding. She was our home loan sales person of the month, on several occasions. A wonderful team player. Andre van Wyk

I have worked alongside Elize as a home loans specialist at Sanlam. In a fast pacing, pressured environment with very high targets, I found Elize to be a team player, motivator, healthy competitor and someone that goes the extra mile for her clients. Her personal touch to the clients needs, whilst being compliant to company rules and legislation made her a top achiever in the group. It was my pleasure to work alongside Elize and I look forward to the day that we can work together again. She will be an asset to any organisation.
