Ichtus Breytenbach
It's hard to describe the level of effort and expertise exhausted by Ichtus in his relentless persuit of getting us in into our first home. We came to him being relatively defeated by our previous experiences with brokers, we were fairly sure the economy and system were against us. Ichtus from the get go was relatable and sympathetic to our situation as young first home buyers. In clear, understandable language he laid out the situation, the challenges we faced, and what was required from us to achieve our goals. And I believe what really sets Ichtus apart is that he wasn't deterred by anything we threw at him, there was never a moment with Ichtus where my partner and I felt that it may just not be possible for us. To be more specific, my partner and I came to Ichtus with fairly low income, around 15k deposit, and no outside financial aid (parents ect) to speak of. Our goal was to purchase a 2-3 bedroom home/unit within the next 6 months. From the outside looking in our chances appeared extremely slim. Ichtus was honest and sympathetic in his approach to managing our expectations he gave us a real understanding of what we would need to do to achieve what we wanted, while also providing alternate options to get us into the market. Throughout our 4 month house search Ichtus was available after hours, weekends, during family birthdays, he never once missed our calls. Without his exhaustive effort it would not have been possible for us. There is so much more to our journey with Ichtus that I couldnt possibly fit here. But my advice to anyone reading this would be. If you are young, usure about the housing market or feel defeated by how hopeless buying a house feels. Call Ichtus. Or email. Or text. Hes will deliver the facts in a way you can understand, hes sympathetic to your situation but most importantly hes going to try every option possible only stopping when hes found something that will actually work for you and your lifestyle.
