The space of Africa is home to six of the world’s twelve fastest-growing economies. Sixty percent of the world’s arable land is found on the continent. Growth in Africa is expected to be among the greatest in the world by 2023. This proves that putting money into Africa is a good idea. Investors in South Africa continue to turn to real estate as one of the most secure methods to build capital. The majority of 2019 is predicted to be a buyer’s market. Those who can purchase for cash or have access to financing will be in the best place to take advantage of the current market. Advertisements in the newspaper and “for sale” signs posted in front of homes aren’t the only marketing tools used by real estate firms nowadays. They’ve got to be creative to keep up with the competition for new customers. Many businesses have emerged victorious throughout the years, adapting to changing market conditions to sell the most property and do it in subtle and creative ways. The most successful South African real estate companies and tycoons will seize the chance to serve the diaspora with the finest investments possible. In this piece, we’ll closely examine some of the most notable names and organizations in South African real estate.
Rawson, like most other businesses, saw a surge in demand for housing around major population hubs such as the Western Cape, sections of Gauteng, and Durban North. To the strong desire for secure, low-maintenance dwellings, they attribute this phenomenon. New construction sales in the Western Cape area are particularly robust for Rawson. The cost rises dramatically for locations like Somerset West. Those who have invested in Cape Town real estate have seen a healthy return on their money. Rawson seems to be appealing to this new, younger buying demographic. It seems that the organization has a healthy rate of new-development sales turnover. Since Rawson places so much value on the sleek and uncluttered style, they seem to be emphasizing the necessity for innovative new approaches. Rawson Property Group Managing Director Tony Clarke says that as real estate becomes more expensive, more and more people are seeking minimalistic designs that provide the illusion of greater room. Rawson suggests that anyone searching for a property to buy or rent should choose properties that have contemporary conveniences like fiber internet connections. Many anticipate its importance will grow over time. Rawson is one of the businesses actively courting the attention of the youth market. For this same purpose, the company’s website also features financial guidance. Customers may view the total amount they would owe with the use of an online financial calculator that factors in interest rates. Transfer paperwork is also available online. What’s more, they’ve become a one-stop-shop for homebuyers and renters because of their ability to simplify complex housing difficulties.
Just Property relaunched itself in 2016. Instead of only being perceived as a specialist-rents agency, the firm wants to be identified as one that provides residential, commercial, and industrial Property for rentals and sales. Some choose not to put down permanent roots. Thus, they opt to rent apartments or houses instead of purchasing them. This growth has also been ascribed to the Eastern Cape rental markets on Just Properties, including cities like Port Elizabeth. The Eastern Cape sees a housing boom as well. With its main office in the Eastern Cape, Just Property stands to gain from the recent influx of capital into the region. The C.E.O. for Just Property, Paul Stevens, feels that their excellent expertise in lettings is what’s going to offer them an extra edge. Customers had faith in Just Lettings, and the segment won many awards. At the 2017 Arabia and Africa Performance Awards in Dubai, it won Best Lettings Agency. The Africa & Arabia Property Awards aims to honor achievements in the property business globally. This is the third year the rentals or lettings sections have walked away with the prized honor. In turn, the firm has ascribed its success to strenuous effort. Stevens feels the cause for the high rents in the Western Cape is due to people migrating there for jobs.

The excellent lifestyle provided by the location, which is close to the beach, has a street café ambiance, and incorporates natural reserves, is mainly responsible for the high-value assessment. Seeff’s Richards Bay office is often among the province’s most productive. The Seeff Dolphin Coast in Kwazulu-Natal was honored with many accolades at this year’s Annual Seeff KZN Awards.
