At Developing Skills for Life, we’ve identified a crucial gap in the industry: many Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMMEs), despite their prowess as property practitioners, often falter when it comes to the nuances of Real Estate Management. To bridge this gap, we have Management Development in Real Estate as a pivotal area of support and mentoring.
