Nick Stergos

After matriculating at Grey College in 1991, Nikolas (Nick) Stergos, today a well-known businessman and entrepreneur from Bloemfontein, obtained his Sales & Marketing and Financial Management Diploma through Unisa whilst working with his parents in Bloemfontein. 

In 1998 he ventured on his own and opened the first Panarottis Pizza Pasta Franchise in the Free State. Since then he moved from one successful venture to the next. Nick obtained his Hotel Industry Training Board qualifications through Panarottis at the time. His second Panarottis Restaurant in Bloemfontein followed in 2000. 

In 2003 he shifted his energy and motivation towards the very successful Aroma Bistro Cafe & Delicatessen, which thrived with three stores. He has successfully managed 19 coffee shops and restaurant franchises, as far as Potch, including the first three Wiesenhof Coffee Shops in Bloemfontein. It has been said that “whatever he touches, turns to gold”. 

In 2010 he decided to take a break from the entertainment industry and joined his brother, Georgios, in the real estate industry with the purpose of applying his business experience to establish the commercial and business brokerage part of Dynpro. Today Nick is a full status broker who completed his NQF4 qualification and obtained the EAAB’s qualification of Practitioner in Real Estate in 2013.

When he was younger, he worked extremely hard (and smart) to achieve success. His dedication is now paying off with success virtually following him around, affording him the opportunity to spend precious time with his family. He attributes his success to the fact that he follows his passion. Over the years people got to know Nick and trust to buy from him. He regards the trust he has earned as his biggest asset in business, which not only leads to referrals by clients but also to repeat business. 

Nick is someone who thrives on the adrenalin of a challenge. He is motivated and excited by his many ideas and is ready to grab the great opportunities the future holds. At Dynpro, he sees a massive gap for and intends to focus on asset financing and business bridging capital.

Nick says the most rewarding aspect of his job is “when my client achieves as well”. This reflects in his involvement with charities, with the attitude “when you give, you will receive” – you cannot just take.

Georgios Stergos

Georgios’ success mainly comes from his talent to understand his clients, his skill to develop real relationships and listen to concerns and desires, and his ability to empower clients to make informed decisions.

He matriculated at Grey College, Bloemfontein, in 1994, whereafter he completed his diploma in Hotel Management at the Central University of Technology, Free State. After obtaining a degree in Hospitality Management, he gained valuable experience at Jan Smuts Holiday Inn International and The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City.

Georgios returned to Bloemfontein in 1998 where he became involved in the management of a family business, Panarottis, until 2004. It was at this stage that he discovered his niche to understand the product and service sold in the real estate industry. He bought Dynpro in 2006 and achieved the Estate Agency Affairs Board’s relevant qualification, the Master Practitioner in Real Estate (MPRE), in 2013. Thanks to his passion for people, he maintains a healthy balance between work and play by socialising with friends and family. He adds that one needs to be disciplined to manage your time effectively.

Georgios regards happy customers as the most rewarding aspect of his job, especially if they are first-time homebuyers whom he helps step by step through this daunting process. “Creating and fostering relationships is after all the basis of conducting successful business these days.”

Peter Grivas

Peter Grivas matriculated at the Saheti School in Johannesburg. He came to Bloemfontein at the age of 25 and was involved in the restaurant industry for more than a decade. It is especially during this time that he built a vast network of business connections in Bloemfontein.

He started as an intern at Dynpro in February 2013 and obtained the Estate Agency Affairs Board’s NQF4.

Peter specialises in commercial and business sales, as well as the letting of commercial property in Bloemfontein. He regards steadfast principles as extremely important in this industry and highly values the EAAB’s code of ethics and conduct. He is of the opinion that his years of valuable business experience as a restaurant owner, combined with his three years’ experience of maintenance and letting management, has prepared him for his position at Dynpro.

Peter further obtained experience in the setting up of new stores and just one of his responsibilities, for example, was the CTFM project at Northridge Mall in Bloemfontein. Being an extremely meticulous person, he has an eye for detail and he developed a cost report according to which damage done to leased buildings is calculated. Peter has the ability to recognise a property’s potential and to assist with renovations to realise the maximum monetary value, even in a difficult market.

Peter balances hard work with a healthy, active lifestyle, whether it is cycling, playing football, doing karate, staying fit at the gym or spending quality time with his family. He has completed ten Argus Cycling Races, as well as Cansa’s Pink Drive Cycling Challenge.

The well-being of others is what motivates Peter personally to give back to the community.

Peter Grivas regards the most rewarding aspect in his line of work being able to improve people’s lives – when clients are successful in a business acquired with the help of Dynpro.
