“BE passionate – treat clients professionally, with respect and with the care you would give friends.” That’s the motto of Gordon Swensson, owner-manager of the Musgrave franchise of the fast-growing Dormehl Phalane Group (DPG). An energetic, experienced property practitioner specialising in rentals and sales, both residential and commercial, Durban-born Gordon has been active in real estate since 2009. A Pinetown High School alumnus, he has long been noted for his cheerful, friendly disposition and takes pride in ensuring his clients are kept fully in the loop at all times when it comes to property transactions. He is a strong believer in going the extra mile to achieve results. Before entering the world of real estate, Gordon earned his bread and butter in the hospitality and video industries. Immediately before opening the DPG Musgrave franchise, he managed the Rawson Glenwood and then the DPG Glenwood franchises. He also has vast experience, both in management and as a property practitioner, with other property groups. Punctual and reliable, he is well liked in the Durban property industry and a strong role model and motivator for his close-knit team at Dormehl Phalane Musgrave. Away from the world of property, Gordon’s interests include water-skiing, travel, wildlife, cars, theatre and music.
