Terry has been involved in community association management since 1992, having started at Belvidere Park Retirement Village in Knysna. Belvidere Park was one of the first full title retirement villages developed in South Africa catering to the retirement property market’s top end. After sixteen years of managing a retirement village, the opportunity to move into the golf estate environment materialised. He was then appointed as the Estate Manager at Arabella Country Estate near Hermanus. Arabella Country Estate and Golf Course are consistently ranked among the top estates in South Africa. Four years later, an international position at Eden Island in Seychelles opened, and Terry was appointed Estate Manager. Eden Island caters to a wide range of international accommodation needs from lock up and goes holiday apartments to villas and its own beaches and marina. The attraction of a small tropical island wore off, and in 2013 Terry returned to South Africa after being appointed the CEO for the Mount Edgecombe Country Club Estate II near Umhlanga in KwaZulu Natal. Mount Edgecombe II is the larger of the two Mount Edgecombe estates, each sharing the two golf courses that make up the Mount Edgecombe Country Club. During this period, the HOA was involved in two landmark judgments entrenching HOA’s rights to make and enforce their rules. At the end of 2016, Terry moved to Paarl to manage Val de Vie and the three HOA’s that make up the Estate’s residential component.
