During 2002, whilst Kirtlington Park was well under construction, the Directors of Mark II Project Managers (M2PM) and Morgan Creek Properties (MCP), recognising the success of their hands-on and direct sales interaction with clients, made the strategic policy decision to found Riverhill Properties, an in-house Estate Agency initially focussed solely upon selling their companies' growing number of residential and commercial developments.
Whilst becoming the sales and marketing arm of MCP, the need to service the burgeoning residential property development in the Outer West region of the Durban Metro has led Riverhill into diversifying to include residential resales, not only within the MCPROPS developments but also outside. The acquisition of a small, local letting agency in 2006, enabled the company to include property rentals and management in its list of professional services. Riverhill is a member of the Institute of Estate Agents of South Africa.
Tracey Johnson
Tracey is a partner and Principal of Riverhill, and joined the real estate industry in 1991. Her high energy levels and extensive knowledge of the residential property market soon led her to top agent status. She left the real estate industry in 1993 to join Momentum Life as a broker consultant, and was incredibly successful. Tracey joined the real estate industry again in 2000 for a leading company in Hillcrest and achieved top sales person for two consecutive years. In 2002, Tracey along with her partners formed Riverhill. Tracey specialises in up-market residential developments and hands-on experience and dedication in this market is invaluable.
Maxine Strydom
Maxine matriculated from Westville Girls High and went to work in Tenerife in the timeshare industry for 3 years where she received top salesperson status within the industry in Europe. In 1991 she opened "The Meeting Place" Real Estate business, which successfully operated in Pinetown for nine years, and during this period received Cosmopolitan Business Woman of the month. A transfer to Johannesburg allowed for Maxine to open Seef Sandton Letting Department focussing on relocating ex-patriots into South Africa. Relocation took Maxine and her family to the United Kingdom and in 2003 returned to the Republic to join Riverhill Properties. Maxine has set up Parent Project, South Africa, a project allowing children with Duchenne and Becker Muscular Dystrophy to thrive, strive and fully participate within their communities into adulthood and beyond. She has also been guest speaker on several occasions all over the country, educating and teaching both parents and nurses alike. At present she is also the chairman of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy KwaZulu-Natal.

The Riverhill Letting Division is headed by Jackie Darbyshire and Claudine Veronesi who have been specialising in the residential rental market in the upper highway area, together adding up to over 10 years of experience and have gained a vast knowledge of the industry and built up an extensive client base. They pride themselves on their personal, professional service they deliver to their clients together with their expert knowledge of the market.
Jackie Darbyshire
Jackie entered the Real Estate Industry and sat the Board exam in 1987. Her mentor a well-respected Owner/Manager in Westville was responsible for her sound basic training, which she has passed on to many candidate Estate Agents over the years. Jackie saw the opportunity for a dedicated Leasing Division in the Highway area 10 years ago and has worked steadily towards that goal which culminated when daughter Claudine joined the team. The addition of Kirtlington and Clifton Hill to their existing portfolio has been an honor and a privilege.
Claudine Veronesi
Claudine joined the Real Estate Industry in 1991, where she gained her training and experience. She left to travel overseas in 1992; on her return she joined the Travel Industry and in 1995 joined a Corporate Travel Agency as a Customer Sales Executive where she worked for 5 years. In 2000 Claudine and her husband decided to go overseas and further their careers, but after having their first child in 2002 decided to return to South Africa to be closer to their families. Once settled, she went back into the Real Estate Industry, where she joined her Mom, Jackie Darbyshire, in a very successful Letting Division in Hillcrest, which grew tremendously over the following 2 years.
