"I have been an Agricultural and Lifestyle property broker for the last 21 years. Over these years I have assessed many fee structures, commission structures and company models and I have yet to see anything, like Meridian Realty’s model, which has been well thought through and is fair too.

I joined Meridian in Nov 21 and I’ve been blown away with their systems, their strong back office and support team, including photographers, efficient administration staff and their great marketing platform. The 70/30 split on offer is a great offering as is but the opportunity to earn 100% of your commission, once achieving CAP, is unheard of. This opportunity to earn 100% of commissions for the remainder of a given year has been my motivator and overriding incentive, as to why I joined Meridian Realty. Reaching CAP, is an attainable goal for each and every Meridian agent."

"I was lucky enough that a large transfer was delayed in 2020 and the sale was eventually registered early in January 2021 which meant that I had made my CAP for the year and all sales that were going to be registered in 2021 were going to be at 100% commission. It was a surreal moment for me to have achieved CAP so early in the year. The motivating effect that this has had on me has been incredible as I am experiencing one of my best years ever in McGregor real estate and leaving my competitors way behind.

Meridian Realty offers a business model that is far superior to anything else out there. It’s not just another brand offering the same as all the other agencies. It’s a unique package for professional agents who are serious about a career in real estate. Antonie and his professional compliment of managers and office staff are 100% committed to making sure that the agents are well supported with world class real estate marketing so that they can go out and get the job done professionally. Nothing is ever too much trouble."

"I discovered Meridian Realty, and even with my lack of knowledge, they embraced me and gave me the training I needed to start my sales career on a solid foundation.

Little did I know that within my first year I would reach my CAP and receive a 100% of my commission. I would never have known my potential if I did not have the back-up of this amazing company with its efficient admin staff."

"It’s amazing what an incentive can do and how having a structure, a plan and a goal can exponentially increase your productivity. Also when you break your own records, you get the vision and the courage to tell yourself that you can do it again.

Getting into the ‘reaching CAP‘ mindset and mode disciplines you to plan, strategize and work hard to reach your target!"

"To CAP your commission, I think to any agent is the top achievement over and above acknowledgement, market share, sales on the board etc. No other agency can offer you this!

The additional income helped me to earn amazing market share especially in a tough market. I could offer additional services to my clients and could get away with sometimes asking less commission in order to keep my market share. And yes, it cost me additional money, but it put me in another league, and I could increase my market share again this year. I could “up” my game with additional funds for marketing and branding.

Thank you to Meridian Realty, Antonie Goosen and the support team for your great property marketing platform. I simply can’t do this without your support, guidance and assistance"

"I think for me the realisation that I had achieved my CAP was almost surreal... For 2 reasons: I was the first Meridian iAgent to achieve this and secondly, I was having a lousy year in terms of losing so many deals in the first quarter. However, I kept my head down and pushed onward!!

I had worked hard consistently for most of the year and Antonie told me the good news. I can still recall asking him if I would get the FULL 100% commission WITHOUT any DEDUCTIONS – to which he replied – ‘Of Course, that’s what it means to reach CAP!"

"In January 2020 I carried over enough deals from my 2019 pipeline to ensure that I reach my cap for the year from those transactions! This means that with every new transaction I close for the rest of the year all the commission will be 100% mine!

All credit to Antonie for his vision of equipping his agents with the tools and infrastructure to pursue this goal, and for setting the bar so that it is truly reachable. All it needs is hard work and determination – if I can do it SO CAN YOU!!!"

"Being part of Meridian Realty not only offers you the finest combination of brand, team ,training, support and technology in the marketplace but affords you the opportunity to earn 100% of your commission on sales once you have reached your Cap.

Yes this sound to good to be true but its not…I am fortunate to become a member of the 100% club during 2020 and while earning 100% of my commission for the rest of this year, I am still enjoying all the benefits that Meridian Realty has to offer.

Thank you Antonie and your team for making is all possible."

"I have always seen myself as a team player and one that is very proud of the team that I am apart of….. but before I joined Meridian, I realised how important is was to have the same goals, mindset & vision of the team that you are a part of……… I was blown away with the Meridian team from day one!! The support, flexibility, professionalism, and freedom that they gave me was amazing! I was free to create my own brand but never felt abandoned or left out.

By reaching CAP and becoming a part of the 100% club gave me a new perspective in real estate. It taught me that anything is possible – especially in a year of COVID-19. I am grateful, I am confident, and I am loving every minute of my job!! I am super excited for what this year will bring and so grateful for Meridian for giving me the opportunity to do what I love and be rewarded and acknowledged at the same time!!!!"

"To reach CAP is an agent’s ultimate achievement and to do so early in the year is an incredible opportunity. It makes the rest of the year so much more profitable, and it is an amazing motivator to keep going. Of course, this would be impossible without the excellent support of the Meridian Realty admin team and the inspired leadership of our Principal Antonie Goosen. Thank you!"

"Meridian Realty is without a doubt the most professional and flexible Real Estate agency I have worked for. The support structure and professional “back office” team enables us as agents to focus on what really matters, which is successful transactions. In addition to being part of a successful company, the added incentive to be able to CAP on your commission is a goal that every Meridian Realty agent aspire to achieve.

Being able to receive 100% commission for the remainder of the year after “CAPPING” is a wonderful feeling which makes the hard work that you put in very rewarding.

I wish to thank the whole Meridian Realty team and the leadership and support of Antonie Goosen enabling me to make the CAP a reality in my life."

"One of the goals that I set to achieve in 2021 was to become part of the 100% Club at Meridian. I was overjoyed when I received the news that I made it in October!

My journey to the 100% Club was not an easy one and I thought that I might not make it. This achievement has taught me to continue even when the going gets tough, to work hard at the goals that I have set for myself and continue to give customers a great experience. During June this year both my husband and I tested positive for the COVID-19 virus and we were both admitted to hospital. While I was in hospital I had an exclusive listing and received an overwhelmingly positive response. In one week I sold the property, and then another one in the same complex! An investor crossed my path, and I managed to sell more of my listings. I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had even when life tried to knock me down!

I couldn't have achieved this without the valuable leadership of my principal, Antonie Goosen. A big thank you to the team that works tirelessly behind the scenes! There is no other Estate Agency that can offer this service, support and incentive. Thank you Meridian!"

"Induction into the Meridian 100% Club is awarded to iAgents who have reached set requirements in terms of sales turnover and customer satisfaction. It is something all Meridian Agents aspire to and offers the agents the following:

• Visible recognition for outstanding achievement
• 100% of commission on their sales after achieving the “CAP”. This enables the agent to spend substantially more on advertising and marketing, as well as using the additional funds to be more keenly competitive, thus facilitating more successful transactions.

I am immensely proud of having achieved this honour and attribute much of it to the support from my Principal and Admin Team, as well as the Meridian business plan which is years ahead of anybody else!"

"I have been part of this remarkable Company since July 2020. It’s the Best move and decision I have ever made. The entire Meridian Team is so supportive, dedicated, disciplined, and well informed, and above all – Our Principle, Antonie Goosen, has a vision, not only for me, but for every member in his team, to take Meridian, as a Company , as a prominent brand, to the top.

It’s an honour and a privilege to be part of Meridian Realty. It offers me, as an iAgent, the opportunity to express myself with confidence.

To become part of the 100% Club, is something to be truly proud of. It has encouraged me, and has shown me, you get out what you put in, and a lot more.

Thank you Antonie, for giving me the opportunity, that no one else could!"

"Meridian Realty is a fantastic company to partner up with. It is a company that wants you to succeed with all the training and resources available to the estate agents. The technology available enabled me to live a more integrated and balanced life as I determine my own work schedule. Thank you Meridian Realty!"

"The business case for Meridian was so compelling, from the hands on, people-centric approach, to the simplicity of the commission structure and the quality of people and agents we conversed with prior to making the decision to join. After missing out on cap by a hair's breadth in our first 10 months, we managed to achieve cap midway through 2022.

The 'carrot-dangle' of CAP is a real, tangible goal aimed at propelling you to the pinnacle, or meridian, of the industry wherever you may be. Our trajectory continues upwards, alongside that of the company's, and we are very grateful for the support and enthusiasm right across the board, from fellow agents to head office staff. Viva Meridian!"

"I have been working in my farming area for the last 10 years and in the process I managed to build up a considerable network of Buyers and Sellers. When the time came to make a change, I was encouraged by many to start my own business. I wanted the best of both worlds – a reputable brand and the advantages of managing my own business. I found this in Meridian Realty, and much more.

Meridian offers iAgents the advantage of taking home 100% of your commission earned when you CAP. To qualify for this achievement, you need to earn a gross commission of R750 000 a year. After reaching this milestone, which was not difficult at all, I get to pocket 100% of all the commission I earn for the rest of that year. I still have the fabulous benefits of back-office support, deal tracking, professional photography, graphic design and industry training. Thank you to Antonie Goosen (Principal) and the formidable team at Meridian for enabling me to be a professional estate agent, and successful in building a profitable business."

"I called Antonie Goosen, directly in early 2021. Bianca arranged a Zoom chat. Boom! I was so excited! He is an innovative, forward thinking, ethical man with an agent centric approach. A world class virtual real estate business at last. Antonie’s digital model offering superior professional digital marketing together with highly skilled virtual support teams allowing iAgents to do what they do best – sell properties! Here I am, some 20 months later and I am an incredibly happy part of the 100%Club! Antonie's model also allows iAgents independence to set their own goals, targets, and commission rates.

The additional incentive to earn 100% commission is generous and achievable. I have congratulated many winners and wow I was surprised to hear I had made the 100% Club, allowing me to earn 100% comm for the next 12 months. This incentive is fantastic, and the flood of congratulations and support from everyone was equally wonderful. Thank you Antonie, for leap of faith you took in me and thank you to everyone in the Meridian Family."

“In my very first year with Meridian Realty the brand has surpassed all expectations and I can honestly say that it is the best move I have ever made in my career. The photographic, transactional, administrative and marketing teams are unwavering in their support and guidance to our agents and their turnaround time on any task is exceptional. I have been able to focus on growing my network, prioritising my buyers and sellers as well as spending more time on earning activities while the support team takes care of the rest.

Antonie Goosen is a leader like no other! Always having time for his agents and showing immeasurable wisdom at every turn, he truly is a man to be admired and an inspiration to us all.

The business model of Meridian Realty allows me to work towards a goal – achieving CAP. In my first 12 months with Meridian Realty I am proud to be a part of the 100% club and I feel a real sense of achievement not only for my efforts but for the team as a whole. I am a very goal-orientated person and therefore I set out to reach CAP as soon as I started, not only for the 100% commission but for the recognition of my hard work and the congratulations received from my highly experienced fellow agents at Meridian Realty.

The incentive program of this remarkable nature shows the strides that Meridian Realty is taking in the real estate industry and I am honoured to be a part of the family and the club.”
