Selling your property is no small feat—it’s a bit like hosting a braai for the whole neighborhood. You think you’ve got it covered, but suddenly the coals won’t light, the boerewors splits, and the neighbor’s kid is face-planting into your flower beds. Chaos, right? Now imagine that braai is your property sale—that’s what happens when you try to sell without a real estate agent.
Here’s why partnering with a professional, especially one from LUXLIV, is your best move when selling property in South Africa.
- Accurate Pricing: No Guesswork, No “Skelms” Pricing your home correctly is a fine art. If you price it too high, it could sit on the market longer than your cousin’s WhatsApp voice notes. Too low, and you might as well be giving it away with a free bag of mielie meal.
A real estate agent knows the local market like the back of their hand. They know how much buyers are paying in Cape Town, Pretoria, and even the hidden gems of Parys. With an agent, you’re not just guessing or trusting “my oupa’s advice”; you’re using solid data to set a price that attracts serious offers.
- Exposure to the Right Buyers: No “Window Shoppers” Selling your home isn’t like selling old cricket gear on Facebook Marketplace—posting a pic and hoping for the best won’t cut it. A real estate agent gives your home the right exposure to attract serious buyers, not just the “browsers” who call to ask if they can rent it out for December.
At LUXLIV, we take it further. Our extensive database and social media channels get your property in front of buyers who mean business. Whether it’s the couple in Sandton looking to upgrade or an overseas investor dreaming of a holiday home on the Garden Route, we make sure your home catches their eye.
- Marketing That Makes Your Property Shine Let’s face it—today’s buyers are swiping faster than someone avoiding an ex on Tinder. If your property doesn’t stand out online, it’s getting skipped. Professional agents know how to dress up your property like it’s ready for the red carpet.
At LUXLIV, we turn your home into the star of the show. Our marketing team creates stunning photos and videos that highlight every feature, from the cozy fireplace to the “perfect for a braai” backyard. No dark, blurry photos here—just the best angles that make buyers want to move in yesterday.
- Video Tours: From “Lockdown Necessity” to “Legendary” Back in 2020, when we were all learning how to bake banana bread and arguing about the pronunciation of “gif,” virtual tours became a must. At LUXLIV, we didn’t just follow the trend—we perfected it.
Our video tours are so effective that we’ve sold properties purely through buyers watching them online. That’s right—no in-person visits, no awkward chats about traffic or the neighbor’s barking dog. With over 4.5 million views across our social media platforms, we’re basically the Hollywood of South African real estate.
Our videos make buyers feel like they’re already living in your home—whether they’re imagining themselves sipping rooibos in the kitchen or hosting a braai on the patio.
- Access to International Buyers: Mzansi Goes Global If there’s one thing South Africans are good at, it’s finding each other in the most unexpected places. (You know you’ve met at least one South African in a bar in Bali.) But thanks to LUXLIV’s global reach, your property gets seen by more than just the expats—it reaches international buyers who are ready to invest.
Through our expertly crafted video tours and online marketing strategy, we put your home on the map—literally. Whether it’s a Londoner looking for a sunny escape or a European investor keen on Cape Town, we make sure your property is seen by the right eyes.
- Negotiations: The Delicate Dance Selling your home isn’t just about listing it and waiting for offers—it’s about knowing how to handle those offers when they come. Negotiations can be as tricky as trying to explain why the Springboks use the 50/22 rule.
Agents are your secret weapon here. They know when to push, when to pull back, and how to get you the best possible deal without the drama of awkward buyer-seller conversations.
- Legal Pitfalls? Sorted. Selling property in South Africa isn’t just about handing over keys and popping champagne. There’s paperwork. A lot of it. Compliance certificates, transfer documents, and rules that make your head spin faster than a Stormers vs. Bulls game.
Real estate agents know these processes like a sangoma knows their herbs. They’ll guide you every step of the way, making sure everything is done by the book.
