Still have not received my deposit from their Ranburg branch/representative since last year August 2025 with no communication as to why. All calls and whatsapp messages have not returned, let alone any clarity provided. Didn't expect this from a company like this - rather disappointing really! Even the manager is ignoring all communication!

I'm trying to find a property practitioner to sell my house. Lew Geffen was one of the companies that I would like to meet. Willem Prinsloo in particular came to my place to meet and talk about the house and the process of selling. And hopefully after that sign an agreement. First thing he told me he checked me on Social media; Facebook to see more about me. The fact that I'm socially involved in NGO's and children's development programmes was *****nse in his biassed view. Secondly he only could talk very negative about the house, only could mention the negative side of this beautiful house, was absolutely not interested and only wanted to show that he was the professional. Main reason to sell a house was his profit. The fact that he checked me on Social media and Facebook was also quite shocking. Why would he do this? We agreed to meet a 2nd time to view the cottages and look around in the house again. Then he told me that he didn't allow me to talk with other practitioners so we couldn't sign any agreement as he doesn't want to be in any kind of competition. I'm happy not to work together with this guy anymore as it would be a complete disaster.

A NIGHTMARE House Purchase in Mosselbaai. Paid Cash. Lew Geffen Sotheby’s Mosselbaai. I have had real nightmares and a severe loss of sleep over my house purchase. Two years of hell. All totally avoidable, but NOT if you are Lew Geffen Sotheby's. Two years in and I have lost an absolute fortune. Left with numerous repairs. Been blatantly **** to by Lew Geffen Sotheby’s Had to stop working in my own business trying to deal with the lies and deceit from Lew Geffen Sotheby’s This is a total nightmare being literally in jail in my own house for Two Years I have made phone calls, created videos and photos that are date and time stamped to validate everything. Witnesses Had a meeting in person with two very junior branch members of staff who were charming, polite and pleasant. However, no solution to my problems, just trying to deflect everything. I did however, with their written permission, voice record most of the meeting. There are, to summarise, there’s a vast amount more to this than you can see here: Proven Patent & Latent Defects. Major Defects. No disclosure. No Handover. Unfair Contract Terms. Key contractual conditions have been ignored by Lew Geffen Sotheby’s Forcing me to sign the Contract at 9am on a Sunday morning under her pressure of time while I was on vacation before I flew back to the UK because Annette or a colleague from Lew Geffen Sotheby’s had made a mistake is totally unacceptable. I remember it well. There’s a witness to this. Defective and misleading contract of sale, sent remotely, no explanation in person or otherwise about the word Voetstoots or any aspect of this *****ulent misrepresentation from Lew Geffen Sotheby’s. Snagging list sent in within 7 days of occupation to Lew Geffen Sotheby’s, deflected to previous occupant who remains complicit throughout, by **** comprehensively: Gert Koning of Just Property, Marsh Street, Mosselbaai, CBD is implicated. Snagging list duly ignored by Lew Geffen Sotheby’s. TRULY OUTRAGEOUS AND DISGUSTING FROM LEW GEFFEN SOTHEBY'S LEW GEFFEN SOTHEBY'S ARE A TOTAL DISGRACE.

As a first-time homebuyer, the process of purchasing a property felt daunting, until I met Shelly Khoza from Sotheby’s. From the very beginning, Shelly was simply brilliant. She took the time to understand my needs, explain every step clearly, and never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. Her professionalism and dedication were evident throughout the entire process. Shelly stood by me from the first viewing to the final signature, offering expert guidance and unwavering support. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and went above and beyond to ensure I felt confident in every decision. Her knowledge of the market and attention to detail made all the difference. What stood out most was her patience and genuine care, traits that can be rare to find in this industry. She wasn’t just interested in closing a deal, she was committed to finding the right home for me. That kind of integrity and service is priceless. I would recommend Shelly Khoza without hesitation to any first-time homebuyer. She made what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth and exciting. With Shelly by your side, you're not just buying a house—you’re gaining a trusted advocate.

Absolutely astonished at how lazy an agent can be! I had laid a complaint about a specific agent last month that she does not take calls, nor responds to whatsapp and email requests. It was attended to by a senior and that was that. This month, I enquired on the same property (not realising I already did last month) and I had the same issue with the agent, no answer. Eventually I received a call from the agent to be told that she would call me later that day regarding a viewing. She never did. We are now into the new week and I laid a formal complaint this time to the same senior and there hasn't been an acknowledgment to my email let alone a response. Nobody wants business... I then sent an email about the same complaint to the Complaints department referencing the lack of respect by his sales agent as well as the manager in question and guess what? Even this guy has ignored my emails! Pathetic to say the least! Seems like a mickey mouse company to me!

Buying a property can be daunting. Cornel Ridgard - Estate Agent Extraordinaire assisted me through the entire process and is still prepared to answer any questions that I may have, point me in the right direction and make me feel as a customer, important and valued. HIGHLY RECOMMEND CORNEL !!

Cannot get a hold of any agent. Spoke to some one about a rental which is required urgently, agent messaged to say she will respond but nothing comes of that. Called the office, the DIRECTOR said he will call me back but nothing becomes of that aswell. They might as well just close shop, wondering if it’s do to with my colour as other people get responded to.
