When it comes to navigating Cape Town’s commercial and industrial property market, few offer the blend of experience, insight, and personal dedication that Alon Bitton brings to the table. His career as a property broker is built on a foundation of deep local knowledge, strategic foresight, and a family legacy rooted in real estate. Growing up in Sea Point, Alon’s connection to Cape Town’s business and cultural landscape was shaped by his upbringing and early exposure to the world of property. But the most pivotal influence in his journey came from much closer to home: his grandfather, Julius Buchinsky. Known across the city as “The Man Behind the Hammer,” Julius was a legendary auctioneer and a towering figure in the South African property sector. More than a mentor, Julius was Alon’s guiding light , teaching him the art of negotiation, the nuances of investment, and the importance of integrity in every deal. From a young age, Alon was immersed in conversations about property, business, and building meaningful, lasting relationships — lessons that continue to form the bedrock of his career. Over the years, Alon has earned a reputation for his strategic insight, hands-on approach, and trusted client relationships, working across a broad spectrum of commercial and industrial property transactions. His advisory work reflects a deep commitment to precision, transparency, and long-term value. Today, Alon leads his own property advisory firm, AB Realty, offering clients a bespoke, boutique-level service. His approach is personal, informed by over a decade of experience, and guided by the timeless principles passed down by his grandfather. For Alon, every deal is more than just a transaction, it’s a relationship rooted in trust, shaped by expertise, and carried forward by a legacy of excellence.
