Disrespectful Estate Agent
One of your agents came on the 23 December to take photos of the house we are renting. I would like a email address to forward the photos an videos I have taken of how she left our house. The total disrespect is amazing. The house was not left in the same condition. Tooth brushes was left on the floor next to the toilet. Car and house keys was left in the wash basin in the kitchen..... Everything was moved around. According to my kids she brought her own props for the photos which is an insult on it's own towards me and my wife.

Poor Service
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!

Lew Geffen Sotheby's International Realty - Muizenberg, Cape Town
We recently dealt with Jonathan Alexander and Paula Giusti from the Sotheby's office in Muizenberg, Cape Town about selling our home and we cannot recommend them more! They are both efficient and professional. If you are looking to sell your property, they are the agents to contact!

Poor service to Landlord needs
Sotheby's agent (Lizelle Smuts) goes above and beyond to secure your business. Unfortunately, once signed on as a client, the service received is incredibly poor. Landlord needs are not prioritized but rather what's best for Sotheby's commission.

Sotheby’s Randburg Branch: MD: Cobus Odendaal – Rude and Unprofessional
From the bad experience I had with 2 agents at Sotheby’s Randburg I turned to social media and eventually got some assistance. I got his details sent him a message and had to follow-up with the call he promised. He apologized on behalf on the Agents and agreed they did not do their duties or handle the situation correctly. I sent everything to him as requested and he was going to make a suggestion on the Monday. I had to follow-up again, he then goes off at me, not allowing me to talk, he forgot what he committed to yet goes off. After that he did nothing. When the transfer attorney’s were working on the letter, I said I would like an update for my lawyer and also not to forget about the Agents as they too need to be held responsible, he then carried on and on wanting my lawyers details, like testing me. He needs to learn people and communication skills and to just listen, extremely rude, disrespectful man.

Sotheby's; ****phobic, racist, incompetent and, bias.!
Sotheby's International Realty South Africa - gender based applications, bias, and possibly racist. After submitting our application to an "international realty" they could not understand our banking setup, and the agent told my husband he is British and earn in pounds, therefore they would not assist him (racism). The same agent called me three different names in one day! Glenda from the Craighall branch is very old and in my opinion (to which I have a right too) should be on retirement. She is rude to clients on the phone, and have together with the Craighall branch, costed me a possible occupation after telling the owner that there are some documents and information short on the application, before asking me or my husband for the missing information and or documents, ( Agents are supposed to process applications to the fullest, gather all information, before making ANY recommendations to the owner/landlord)They are unprofessional, their conduct is despicable. The agent told my husband on the phone that we will not be getting the rental because he has no money, and earns in pounds (remember Sotheby's advertising that they are International...), and that the information is coming from their accountant that is working for them for more than 15 years. We tried phoning to get to the bottom but were ignored, and to our surprise; found the agent socialising on the couch when we decided to drive in to the branch! We wanted to state our case to the "so called rental manager" whom, when explained how foreign exchange works, were shocked that my husband actually earns more than a R100,000.00 per month, but that they couldn't tie the knots between the English transfers to the South African account. I demand her credentials and where she qualified!. I am also referring the matter to the relevant body corporate being the PPRA. This place is not managed and needs to be shut down. They are costing a lot people their livelihoods due to their incompetence.
