Diens jare: Ek het in Mei 2008 by Karin begin werk. Sy was nog deel van Old Mutual PFA waar ons net Mutual & Federal polisse kon skryf. Karin het besluit om ons opsies beter te maak en begin toe Karin Swart Makelaars, en vandag 11 jaar later is ek nog al die pad deel van die goeie keuse. Voor Mei 2008 het ek vir ander adviseurs by Old Mutual gewerk as assistent.
Years of service: I started working with Karin in May 2008. She was still part of Old Mutual PFA where we could only write Mutual & Federal policies. Karin decided to expand our Short-Term book and started with Karin Swart Brokers. Today 11 years later I am still here and proud of what we achieved. Prior to May 2008, I worked for other advisers at Old Mutual as a Personal Assistant.
Beskryf jou gesin: Ek is 8 jaar getroud met my beste vriend & anker Coenie en sal hom vir niks verruil nie. Ek het die beste ouers, my Boetie en Sussie is my alles en was bevoorreg om nog ‘n sussie Ashleigh en ‘n boetie Jason by te kry. Liewe Jesus het my Boetie & skoonsus geseën met die beste geskenk wat enige ouer kan kry, Zayden, en ja, hy is sy tannie se hartklop! Ons is ‘n baie “close” familie wat uit ons pad sal gaan vir mekaar, ons is nie altyd foutloos nie maar probeer altyd die beste uit mekaar bring, ons is op ons gelukkigste as ons saam kan wees.
Describe your family: I have been married to the love of my life and my anchor in difficult times, Coenie, for the past 8 years. I have the best parents, my brother Abrie and sister, Lizie are my everything and I am privileged to have a wonderful brother and sister (Jason and Ashley) in law. Abrie and Ash was blessed with a beautiful boy, Zayden in 2018. I adore Zayden and spend as much time as possible with him – spoiling him is my privilege. We are a very close family that will go out of our way for each other, we are not without flaws, but always try to bring the best out of each other, we are at our happiest when we can spend time together.

Wat se Karin van Sonica: Sonica is die Moeder van die kantoor, die fixer, beplanner en uitvoerder. Sonica werk al 10 jaar saam met my. Ja, saam met my en nie vir my nie. Ons is en was nog altyd ‘n gedugte span en saam het ons baie issues oorkom en ‘n besigheid gebou waarop ons verskriklik trots is. Ons werks etiket en waardes is soortgelyk en daarom is dit nooit vir my nodig om oor haar of die res van my span se werk te bekommer nie. Sonica bestuur die korttermyn praktyk foutloos en met toewyding. Sonica dra ‘n groot seer in haar hart en dit is dat sy en Coenie nie self ‘n babatjie kan hê nie. Ek glo egter dat die liewe Vader ‘n plan het om haar groot hart en liefde vir kinders te gebruik soos ons nie kan imagine nie. Verder sorg die kantoor vol vrouens dat daar baie klein lyfies is waarmee sy kan speel en voor lief wees.
What Karin says about Sonica: Sonica is the Mother of the office, the fixer, planner and performer. Sonica has been with me for 10 years. We are and have always been a formidable team and together we have overcome many issues, obstacles and built a business that we are extremely proud of. Our work ethic and values are similar and so I never have to worry about her or the rest of my team’s work. Sonica manages the short-term practice flawlessly and with dedication. Sonica has a big hurt in her heart and it is that she and Coenie cannot have a baby. However, I believe that our Father has a plan to use her passion and love for children to an extend we cannot imagine.
