Shanjay Maharaj commenced his real estate career in 1997 starting out in the residential real estate sector. In 1998 he opened his own real estate office. In 2000 he converted to being a sales associate with a premium national real estate franchise company. In 2005 he partnered with this same company to open a franchise in the eastern suburbs of Pietermaritzburg which operated until 2013.

He has been involved in all aspects of real estate including marketing, management, training and sales. His aspiration to serve in the commercial sector culminated in him joining a local Commercial Agency and then eventually opening Shanprop Real Estate.

He has won numerous personal excellence awards and has also invested heavily in training and personal development.

Your commercial property needs deserve the care of a specialist. The commercial property market can be a very complex environment to negotiate without the services of an experienced and ethical property practitioner. Any person holding themselves out to be a competent real estate advisor should have, in addition to being registered with the PPRA, a thorough understanding of contract law, principles of accounting, the macro and micro economic environment, zoning, finance, valuation, spatial planning, municipal by-laws, marketing, construction and be empowered with negotiating skills and competencies that can only be obtained through experience and advanced education. I continually develop and innovate in a fluctuating market that demands more evolved tailor made solutions.

“While holding myself to the highest professional and ethical standards, I will strive to help clients make prudent real estate decisions and in the process prove worthy of their trust and friendship, so that I may become a long term friend and advisor.” – Shanjay Maharaj
