Estate Agencies in Silwood Heights

I am Mark...... Mark Brickles. My powerhouse team and I, add immense value to a seller’s property through cutting edge technology, marketing and negotiation strategies that achieve the very best price for you, the owner.

Combine that with the valuable advice and guidance that we give throughout the process – such as critical Home staging tips – and you will experience why “ONE GOAL, ONE VISION, SOLD” is our Mission Statement.

During the great recession of 2008, I developed a Unique Fast Selling concept called DSE which assisted countless families to sell their homes before the hammer fell at Sheriff Auctions and I became a master at negotiating with banks and became a short sales expert.

Since then markets changed and I was able to use these same principles and refine it as new technology became available so I am able to assist property owners selling for various reasons with the same level of effectiveness but my speciality is:

DEBT & REPOSSESSION

DEATH & DECEASED ESTATES

DIVORCE & BREAK-UPS

DOWNSIZING & UPSIZING

DISILLUSIONMENT & DISAPPOINTMENT

DEPARTURE & RELOCATION

DISEASE & DISABILITY

Considered by many as a real estate trail blazer in 2008 when I defined a generation of cutting-edge marketing not utilised before in the South African property industry to help home sellers, I believe Virtual Realty will be at the forefront in assisting homeowners sell their properties during and after the COVID-19 Virus Pandemic.

Despite specializing in the low to middle property price market, which meant I had to sell many more homes than my counterparts selling in more affluent areas, I was awarded numerous major performance awards both nationally and internationally and was ranked 3rd in the World as a property specialist when I exited RE/MAX International, where I lead one of the most successful Teams in RE/MAX Southern Africa’s history. Here are just some of the awards bestowed on my incredible property team.

CCH is an estate agency with member property practitioners working in Cape Town, Helderberg (Strand, Gordons Bay & office in Somerset West), Whale Coast (Hermanus & offices in Kleinmond and Gansbaai), West Coast (Langebaan, Saldanha, Vredenburg, Velddrif, Hopefield and Paternoster), Cape Winelands (Paarl, Franschhoek & Stellenbosch), the Garden Route and Klein-Karoo (Mossel Bay, George, Oudtshoorn and Uniondale districts) and now also in Delportshoop and Barkley West (Northern Cape).

CCH offers a comprehensive range of professional property services to our clients : including residential (sales and rentals), agricultural property (sales), commercial property (sales and rentals) as well as residential developments (sales and sourcing opportunities).

We know that clients want to deal with knowledgeable and trustworthy property practitioners who have the expertise, honesty and integrity to assist them in selling or buying the right property.

We strive to provide our clients with the best possible tools to improve the marketing or buying process - utilizing 3D virtual tours and aerial footage where possible. We ensure that our marketing efforts channel our mandates to a wide as possible audience - utilizing local and international property portals and a variety of social media channels.

What differentiate our marketing strategy from other estate agencies?

1. The widest internet exposure your property can receive – we offer you exposure on all the top property portals in South Africa, covering up to 50% of Google’s first page for keywords such as “Strand property for sale” / “Somerset West property for sale” / “Langebaan property for sale” / “Gordons Bay property for sale” / “Muizenberg property for sale” etc. Ask our agent to show you the proof in the Google pudding!

2. Our member agents are all qualified and independent agents who contract with you as the seller without any hidden agendas :

2.1 We will inform the seller about the commission split we work with outside agents and not on a standard 60/40 or 70/30 split some agencies are enforcing without your knowledge and to the detriment of your property’s marketing plan – as it will effectively cut out quite a large percentage of the buyers outside agents are working with;

2.2 up to 70% of all property transactions are generated amongst all the estate agents working together by sharing information of properties and buyers in your area. Ensuring and stimulating a regulated but free flow of all the potential buyers to your property is essential. Any exclusionary “policies” are to your detriment. No estate agency can ever claim to be able to control the local market, nor to be able to get access to the majority of buyers without involving all estate agents and their clients to their sole mandates.

2.3 Our agents are not dependent agents – i.e. dependent on a descriptive agency owner or office rules which limit either the way they market your property or how negotiable they will be when it comes down to “closing the deal”. Our members have total control over the marketing of your property and therefore over your sales transaction. Expect the CCH member agents to be brutally honest about e.g. pricing your home according to a market related price. CCH member agents, unlike dependent estate agents, control their own marketing funds and will not be prepared to invest money into a property which is overpriced.

2.4 CCH agents are earning probably the highest net commission rates (up to 90% of the commission) - i.e. the share of the commission they earn after the CCH office receives its share. They are therefore not afraid of or as reluctant as dependent agents (who mostly earns only 50% of the commission) to “share” commission with outside agents or agencies - i.e. to extend your property’s marketing effort to all other estate agencies.

It is crucial for all sellers to understand the importance of employing an estate agent who will pro-actively market your property not only in the media - but will not shy away from opening up the sole mandate from the beginning by sharing the commission whenever an agent from another estate agency has a suitable buyer.

Trust Property is a registered estate agency offering a boutique experience to our clients. We started out in the greater Blaauwberg area and have since expanded into Cape Town CBD and surrounding areas, South Eastern Suburbs and Northern Suburbs.
