The Start of SAF Properties
It’s often said that the most advantageous deals are struck on the golf course. However, for SAF Properties, the genesis of our story unfolded in an irregular setting: the back of a station wagon.
These family excursions, dedicated to property inspections, marked the initial steps into the realm of real estate investment. In 1993, Stefania and Bennie, both with backgrounds in public accounting, recognized their profound interest and enthusiasm for real estate management and acquisitions.
With this realization, SAF Properties was established, offering comprehensive management and accounting services tailored to the family’s real estate ventures acquired over the years. This venture not only formalized their passion but also ensured its continuation into future generations. Although the station wagon has since been retired, the tradition of weekend drives to survey potential properties remains a vibrant and ongoing practice.
