Prime Real Estate

Hi Yvonne,

Honest question about your property: are you trying to maximise price, or maximise certainty?

You've owned it since 2017 — nine years is long enough to have built real equity, and the current market in this part of Pretoria means that equity is worth protecting carefully. Most sellers don't realise how much a poorly timed listing can quietly erode what they've built.

I'd like to make sure you get an accurate picture before any decisions are made.

Worth a 10-minute call this week?

Hi Yvonne,

Following up on the note I sent a few days ago.

I work with sellers in this part of Pretoria where the numbers are significant and getting the valuation right matters a great deal. Given what you've built up over nine years, I think it's worth at least a short conversation.

Happy to chat this week if the timing works.

Hi Yvonne,

A quick piece of context that might be useful.

In this part of Pretoria, properties in the R 12M–R 17M range are taking longer to close through traditional listing routes — sometimes four to six months. The auction route compresses that significantly, often to under 30 days, without sacrificing the final price when it's run properly.

Happy to send the full picture if useful.

Hi Yvonne,

Sold a large residential property in a comparable Pretoria neighbourhood last month. Hammer price came in at R 13.8 million — the seller had been quoted R 11.5 million by two traditional agents before we ran the process.

That gap is not unusual at this value band. Curious whether your situation is similar.

If a quick valuation conversation would be useful, just reply with a time.

Hi Yvonne,

This will be my last note unless I hear back.

Nine years of ownership on a property of this size in this part of Pretoria is a meaningful position to be in. I'd hate for the final outcome to be less than what it should be simply because the wrong route was taken.

If the timing isn't right, I understand completely — happy to circle back in 60 days.

Hi Yvonne,

Closing the loop on my end.

Wishing you well with the property — whatever direction you take. If anything changes or the timing shifts, you have my details.
