We are excited to have Stavros Anthias joining our team as a consultant.
If you have been in the property game, then weâre sure you already know him,
but just in case you donât, we sat down with him to get the scoop.
Letâs do a quickfire Q&A.
So, tell us, what is your qualification?
âI have a B.A. LL.B with majors in English and Political Science.â
How long have you worked in the industry?
âI started my 2 years articles of clerkship in 1981, but was admitted as an attorney in March 1984, so I have been an attorney for 42 years. In September 1984 I opened my own practice in partnership with a close friend.â
Shucks, 42 years hey, wow, thatâs longer than Iâve even been alive đ
What was your first job?
âIt was with attorney Neville J. Pretorius, in Durbanâs C*D, in Union Club Buildings.â
I thought you were going to hit me with âPaper boyâ, lemonade stand host or waiter but this is cute too.
Which coffee shop will we find you in consistently?
âMayfair in Mackeurtan Avenue.â
Agreed â thatâs the best crispy bacon on the block.
Best advice you ever received?
âIt came from a good friend and colleague, Natalie Lange, when I opened my own office. She advised me to get work done quickly, to get into this habit. If I was done by lunch, to take in a movie, or visit the beachfront and avoid dawdling over work to fill up my day. I have since given this advice to many young attorneys.â
You look like a man who is good value at a party. Whatâs your go-to karaoke jam?
âFavourite karaoke song is definitely Neil Diamondâs Sweet Caroline.â
Love that for you, Stav.
SO goodâŚSO goodâŚSO good!
What is the best personality trait for a person to have?
âTo be friendly and dependable, with a generous dash of humour.â
Welcome to the team, Stav.
We already love having you and the personal touch that you provide for your clients is just magic.
Letâs do this.
