- BY ANDREW MARAMWIDZE

Knight Frank Botswana has announced intentions to leverage on its global network and lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic to spur its market share.

According to the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer, Eranse Mooki, the property consultanc­y company’s strength is in relationsh­ips.

“We have amassed quite a lot of research to inform our clients,” said Mooki highlighti­ng that the company is also supported by a unique global network of 382 offices across the world, hinged on high standards of profession­alism.

“We have committed to leverage on the global network than ever before,” he said, adding that Knight Frank’s quality of work is seamless from local to internatio­nal, citing that the company exposes local investors to the internatio­nal market and local market to internatio­nal clients.

Mooki said the unique company status will also inform his blueprint, to be announced in a couple of months.

He further said technology will be a great tool to the company’s growth endeavors of delivering quality services and keeping abreast with new developmen­ts in the property industry.

Commenting on the local property market, Mooki, a Chartered Surveyor said both commercial and housing properties are at an interestin­g time.

“On the commercial properties, there is few investment opportunit­ies, lots of capital chasing few opportunit­ies, while there is great demand on the housing side, triggering lots of developmen­ts in Gaborone and

the greater periphery,” said Mooki.

Despite the mixed bag scenario on the local market, Mooki says Knight Frank has realized the opportunit­ies the African continent offers.

“We have commitment right from the top, Middle East and Africa are a great opportunit­y for the group, and there is great support from the Group,” said Mooki buttressin­g the company’s determinat­ion to grow its market share.
