In the often competitive world of real estate, few names shine as brightly as Catelyn Cumberlege and Eben Kriek. This dynamic husband-and-wife team has brought a fresh, client-centered approach to property transactions to the City of Roses! Cumberlege, a qualified Master Property Practitioner and founder of Xpress Realty, combines her in-depth real estate expertise with an impressive academic background -holding an LLB law degree, and a vast network of experts in a variety of fields. Launching Xpress Realty in 2023, her mission was clear: to simplify buying and selling property while providing clients with a legally hurdle-free, stress-free experience.
What sets Xpress Realty apart is the seamless integration of legal and real estate expertise. Working alongside her husband Eben Kriek, an admitted attorney and conveyancer at EKA & Associates, Cumberlege ensures that every client enjoys not only professional property advice but the assurance of legal expertise at lightening-speed! Their collaborative approach means that clients are guided through every detail - from signing the offer to the final transfer - with absolute clarity and transparency. In an industry where complexity often leads to confusion, they stand out for their commitment to accountability, open communication, and genuine care.
Beyond their exceptional client service, this duo is actively raising the bar for the entire industry. Through EKA & Associates, Kriek provides monthly legal training sessions to real estate agents across Bloemfontein. These workshops keep agents informed about the latest legislation and the best practices - contributing to a more professional and trustworthy property market. This vision is not just about closing deals, but elevating standards and empowering even just potential clients.
Managing diverse portfolios with remarkable ease, Catelyn and Eben have taken Bloemfontein’s property market by storm. Their ability to tailor solutions for each client - whether a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned investor - is grounded in very rare empathy and adaptability. In a city where property transactions can present unique challenges, their track record speaks volumes: successful transfers, happy clients, and a growing reputation for excellence.
Ultimately, what fuels their success is passion and purpose: “...helping people navigate one of the biggest decisions of their lives - that’s what keeps us motivated,” Cumberlege explains. With Xpress Realty and EKA & Associates, clients gain more than service - they gain a partnership built on trust, knowledge, and unwavering dedication.
