About Us
Founded in 1995, RE/MAX Jowic holds a proud legacy as the second RE/MAX office to open in South Africa. Our story began with the vision of Nic van den Berg, who launched the business alongside his two sons, Johan and Willie.
Over the decades, Nic’s dedication, leadership, and pioneering spirit earned him numerous accolades, including the prestigious International Broker/Owner of the Year award in the 1990s – a testament to his exceptional contribution to the real estate industry.
In 1998, tragedy struck when Johan passed away in a car accident, and in 2016 Willie retired due to medical reasons. Yet Nic’s passion for real estate never wavered. That same year, his grandson Rudi van den Berg joined the business, bringing fresh expertise from the IT corporate sector. Together, Nic and Rudi steered RE/MAX Jowic to even greater success, blending experience with innovation.
In early 2025, the RE/MAX family bid farewell to Nic at the age of 79. He held the remarkable distinction of being the longest-serving Broker/Owner in the RE/MAX group – a true industry icon. Today, Rudi leads the business, supported by an exceptional administrative team, driving the office to new heights. RE/MAX Jowic is currently ranked #1 single office in the Gauteng region and #3 nationally.
Our mission is clear: empower our agents to earn more, grow more, and achieve more. We proudly uphold a 100% commission model, ensuring that our agents truly reap the rewards of their hard work. To us, our agents are our lifelong clients – because when they win, we win.
With a legacy built on trust, excellence, and results, RE/MAX Jowic continues to lead the way in South African real estate – honouring our history while shaping the future.
