Attending the annual real estate Durban Conference in1999, Peter Gilchrist, owner of Real Training International, New Zealand introduced Real Estate Auctioneering as a strategy to increase real estate cashflow in South Africa.

Pieter was a Rotarian for more than 30 years and became the Charter President of Gordon’s Bay in1997. He is a Paul Haris Sapphire Member, one of the highest Rotary International awards for service to the community.
