Why You Don’t Need an Estate Agent to Sell Your Property

And why using an attorney from day one is the smartest move you can make.

‍

South Africans are used to a model where the estate agent drives the sale, and the attorney only steps in once the offer is signed. But that model is outdated and often expensive, inefficient, and legally risky.

At Günther Attorneys & Conveyancers, we’re flipping the script.

We manage the entire property sale from listing to registration under one legal mandate. That means no third-party agents, no handovers, and no exorbitant commission.

What does this mean for you?

You get one team handling your sale from the moment it goes to market, through offer negotiation, right up to transfer at the Deeds Office. We market your property, manage compliance, draft a legally sound offer to purchase, and do all the conveyancing in-house.

Our all-inclusive commission is just 2.5%—no VAT—with a minimum fee of R30 000.00.

Compare that to the usual 5–7% charged by traditional estate agents, plus conveyancing fees. We handle everything for less, with more control and far fewer delays.

Why this model works better:

1. You deal with one legal team who is fully accountable from start to finish.
2. Your offer is drafted by a qualified conveyancer, not a generic template.
3. Your buyer is properly vetted. No time-wasters.
4. Your legal rights are protected from the start, not just when things go wrong, which is usually when Estate Agents hide.

Who is this for?

Private sellers, deceased estate executors, trustees, landlords, and anyone tired of vague marketing promises and slow handovers. We make property sales legal, streamlined, and cost-effective.

‍Thinking of selling? Don’t sign a sole mandate until you’ve spoken to us.

Let’s handle your sale properly—without the exorbitant fees or uncertainty.
