Buying or selling a home is one of the most significant and stressful decisions you will make in life. It's emotional, exciting, sometimes a little nerve-wracking, and (let's be honest) usually comes with a pile of paperwork that could scare even the bravest among us. So, when you're stepping into the world of real estate, you need someone you can trust by your side - someone experienced, honest, and who picks up the phone when you call.
Well... Hello there, that's us.
Realtors International Strand has been operating proudly in South Africa since 1968. That's over five decades of helping clients find their dream homes, sell properties with confidence, and navigate everything from beachfront views to garden cottage gems. But hey, let's dive into exactly why you should choose us.
We're not just another agency that popped up last year with flashy social media posts and big promises. Nope, we've been around the real estate block since bell-bottoms were still cool and people used actual maps to find a house. Our years of experience have taught us not just how to sell property but how to build long-lasting relationships with our clients. Trends may change, the market may shift, but excellent service, honesty, and local knowledge remain constant. Those never go out of style.
We're not a big, faceless corporation where your listing becomes just another number in a spreadsheet. We are a proudly boutique company. What does that mean? It means every client matters. Every property is exceptional. And every transaction is handled with care. We take the time to understand what you want. Whether you're buying your first home, investing, or relocating, we tailor our service to you. No cookie-cutter nonsense. Just good, solid service with a personal touch and smile.
Our agents live and work in the same areas we serve. That means we don't just know the listings - we know the schools, the community, the security, the hidden gems, the secret beach spots, and where to find the best croissants (very important). We specialize in coastal and lifestyle properties, as well as Residential and commercial listings, and have a deep understanding of the Western Cape's unique property market, particularly in the beautiful Helderberg area and its surrounds. Here at Realtors International Strand, we also do rentals and Body Corporate management. When we say "location matters," we know precisely why it matters.
Let's be honest, searching for that perfect property can become overwhelming. If you've ever read a listing and thought, 'What on earth is a 'cosy yet spacious' apartment?' you're not alone. We keep it real. Our agents are trained to speak your language—and no, we don't mean legal jargon. We suggest clear, honest communication -no fluff, no pressure. We'll walk you through every step, answer every question (even the ones you're hesitant to ask), and ensure you're comfortable throughout the entire process.
Sure, our listings look amazing (because they are), but great marketing is about more than good lighting and a wide angle. We know how to position your property in front of the right buyers, utilizing a combination of online platforms, social media, photography, videos, and traditional word-of-mouth marketing. Additionally, we ensure that your property stands out, not gets lost among 100 other listings. Think "showstopper," not "meh."
Some agents get the mandate and then disappear faster than free snacks at a show house. Not us. We're here for the whole journey - from the first viewing to the final signature. We handle the administration, the calls, the follow-ups, and the unexpected hiccups (they happen). It's all part of the service because we believe in after-sales care, not afterthoughts.
Being in business since 1968 means we've helped families buy their first homes, sell those same homes years later, and then helped their children do the same. (We've even had a few grandchildren enter the mix.) Talk about full circle!) Our client relationships often span generations. That's not just loyalty - it's legacy. And that kind of trust can't be bought; it's earned.
Always. You've heard horror stories - dodgy deals, surprise costs, "Oops, we forgot to mention that giant crack in the ceiling." Not on our watch. We value integrity above all. No shortcuts, no gimmicks. We are committed to ethical practices, full disclosure, and transparent fees and services. That's how we've built our reputation, and we're proud of it.
While we're constantly evolving—embracing new technology, tools, and training—we stay true to what has worked for over 50 years: treating people right. And because we're a small team, we can move fast, think creatively, and adapt to each client's needs. We're not boxed in by red tape. We're flexible, approachable, and just a phone call (or a WhatsApp message) away.
This may sound cheesy, but it's true. When you work with us, you become part of the family. That means you get our full attention, our best advice, and our genuine care. We want to see you win - whether that means finding your dream home, getting the best price for your property, or just making the whole process a little less scary. And if you drop by our office, located at 74 Beach Road, Strand, Western Cape, 7140, we'll offer you a cup of coffee.
