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.
