Trafalgar Property and Financial Services
Dear Sirs / Madam
I am writing to outline my excellent academic background and the skills, knowledge and experience I have
gained as a result. I believe that these will make me the ideal candidate for your company.
As you will note from my enclosed CV, I have completed a BSc. degree in Real Estate and I am currently
busy with my honours degree in Real Estate at the University of Pretoria. Real estate is the study of fixed
property and related aspects such as property economics, development, management, valuation, financing,
investment and marketing.
During the three year BSc. degree I completed a variety of subjects, such as Statistics, Economics,
Financial Management, Building Science, Building & Civil Engineering Services, Municipal Development
Planning, Property Law, Urban Land Development Economics and Quantities to name but just a few.
These subjects ensured that I have a good understanding of the construction and property industry as a
whole.
During the one year honours program focus shifted to intense and in-depth practical subjects such as
Property Investment, Facilities Management, Property Development, Property Valuation, Law of Leases
and Building Cost Estimation.
As part of the honours program I am doing a research paper on converting shopping centres to be self-
sustaining, by implementing green initiatives such as solar energy.
Whilst working at Quanti Serv, Quantity Surveyors and Project Managers I gained experience working on
several projects where I had to do measurements of architectural drawings on WinQS, compile bills of
quantities, do site inspections and re-measurements, compile building estimates and do basic
draughtman’s work.
During the course of my study’s I was part of several community projects and part time jobs where I gained
practical experience doing small construction and renovation jobs. I worked as a sales man and promoter
for Megawarehouse at several expos, teaching me excellent communication and human relation skills that I
believe is critical in any industry.
I am registered as a Candidate Valuer at the South African Council for the Property Valuers Profession, but
I am eager to learn and practice in any field in the property industry.
I am now looking to secure a challenging and rewarding role and I believe that these skills, together with
my knowledge and expertise, would make me an asset within your organisation; please do not hesitate to
call me on 083 359 0497 so we can discuss in greater depth.
Yours faithfully,
Matthys Beukes
