WHY CHAS EVERITT?

The Chas Everitt International property group was the dreamchild of founders Charles (Chas) and Tilla Everitt, who started the company in 1980 and remain active in the Chas Everitt group and the real estate industry to this day. Opening their first office in Randburg, Gauteng, the organisation has since evolved into the Chas Everitt International property group, a true family business, where ethics and values are an integral part of the company's DNA.

A dynamic organisation dedicated to giving clients, property buyers, tenants, landlords and sellers a competitive advantage in the marketplace, we can help clients relocate to any town or city in South Africa, or around the world through our international affiliations. At the same time, with our unique property solutions marketing strategy, we can attract more prospective purchasers and tenants for our property sellers and landlords.

The Chas Everitt International Property Group is seen as one of South Africa's premier estate agency groups, built on a 41-year-old foundation of solid family values and a desire not to just serve our clients well, but to become their lifelong property counsellors by delivering truly memorable service.

Our team of dedicated property professionals are local specialists armed with the widest array of marketing solutions and trained to guide you through the maze of purchasing, selling or letting property from start to finish - and beyond.

OUR CLIENTS ARE TALKING

Buying a flat for the first time is an incredibly complex thing and it can also really stressful. Are you doing the right thing? And is this the right time to be doing it? The questions are endless! I had the pleasure of working with Tania and Louise and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. They are both very knowledgeable and efficient but also kind and honest. In short, there are definitely the kind of people you want to be doing this kind of stuff with :)

Thank you so much to Dave for assisting with the process of the purchase of our new home. Dave was professional and friendly at all times. And we really appreciated his extra care and concern to ensure that we had a smooth process from the offer to our move to the registration. Dave always kept in touch with us and followed up and intervened to resolve any issues if necessary and gave us advice where it was needed. I would highly recommend his services.
