Flamboyant DJ and radio personality, who returned to Metro FM last year after six years of absence, has now ventured into the property. Tbo Touch, whose real name is Thabo Molefe recently launched his real estate company, Touch Mansion Properties. 

ONLY SELLING MANSIONS

Speaking to ZiMoja from Italy, Touch’s upbringing inspired the business. He says, "I was raised in a house where political circumstances of the time decided for my parents, it was never their choice." Explaining the inspiration behind "Touch Mansion Properties", he says the name is a feeling you get when you open the door for the first time to what you call your home. "It doesn’t matter if the house cost R20 000 or R2 million, it will always feel like a mansion to the owner. Tbo Touch also tells ZiMoja that his company has only been on the market for a month with inventory worth R280 million. "We have our target for selling our listings in 30 days. Our model is not just to sell but to influence borrowing policies as you will know that our market is fragile right now. Not everyone has good credit but we can tailor a deal that secures the bank’s investment and our client’s eligibility to pay their mortgage," he explains. 

HE WILL STILL BE ON THE RADIO 

He says his new business will not affect his radio career and family life. "I don’t believe in fighting to create balance, I believe in staying healthy. A healthy mind and body will always primrose family, business and laughter," he says, adding that doing God’s work and bringing everyone closer to God has kept him going. "There’s abundance, peace, love and power in being closer to God. I believe men are creatures of inconsistencies and hence the only constant variable in life is the love of God," explains Touch, who says his ultimate goal is to be a minister of the Word of God. 

LICENCE IS IMPORTANT 

To those aspiring to enter into the property business, Touch advises, "Firstly, you have to register for your licence as a real estate agent and study because there are multiple exams in order to qualify as a principal-agent. That’s what I had to go through. We have to remain optimistic, we are quick to look for returns. Look for purpose not returns," he adds.
