Will completed a PR & Tourism diploma straight after school. After a brief stint in the USA, he returned to SA and completed a B.Economics degree at USB. He then left for the UK where he mainly worked in the accounts departments for several companies. Upon his return to SA, he started a tours and adventures company with specific catering to disabled tourists, and in particular to the Deaf Community.
After purchasing and renovating a few properties in his spare time, the bug bit him and he migrated to property. He worked as an Operations manager for several developments, applying his knowledge at ground level to formulate architectural guidelines and develop and implement sales and marketing strategies for the developments.
In 2009 he moved on to open his own Estate agency in the Southern Suburbs of the Western Cape. He has been involved with Percipient Property Solutions as a Development consultant since January 2013 focusing on the Napier Retirement Village development. He has since joined Percipient Property Solutions on a full-time basis, developing an in-house Estate agency. His focus will be on Property sales, Marketing and Developments in and around the Western Cape.
