AREA: Clifton, Cape Town | AGENT: Gail Gavrill, Knight Frank | Gail personally succeeded in selling all of the units off plan or soon after completion of the development. Gail then continued to re-sell most of the re-sold apartments including my own personal apartment for full asking price of ZAR 81 500 000 in a short space of time. Over the many years, Gail has always had my confidence. She is smart, hard working, professional and totally honest.

"Dear Rob & Gail Extremely professional and exactly what this market and this country need. Having worked with Knight Frank in the UK and Europe, in particular, leasehold enfranchisement - a particular "English issue" and in particular acting "against" the Cadogan Estate in Chelsea, it is very refreshing to see and hear this good news." Many thanks indeed

On a visit to Dublin, Ireland, a couple of years ago, my wife and I spotted the name Knight Frank Estate Agents on a notice-board. We recognised that we had seen that name around many regions of the Cape’s property market. We knew then that Knight Frank was indeed a reputable international brand. Last September, we decided to sell our flat in Rondebosch and buy a smaller one in the same area. We got in touch with Carmen Maher and Misty Kesting who handle Knight Frank’s residential market here. We met, and from that moment we knew that this pair could take care of our concerns about red tape and expense. With local proficiency and global backing, they turned all the apparent negatives into to real positives, leaving us relieved and delighted with their warm service, and a happy relocation to our new home. I would encourage would-be buyers and sellers to do what I did, and have no regrets for doing so.

I met Louis Fouche when I viewed an apartment in Vredehoek. Firstly the quality of photos that he posted on Property 24 immediately grabbed my interest. He had shown exactly what I had been looking for. Light, sunny with a great view. He was punctual for my viewing the next day - friendly and professional. Since making the offer and in fact purchasing the apartment, I can only say Louis has been helpful and efficient. He had no qualms in driving out to my home (outside the city parameters) on 2 occasions for me to sign the necessary papers. He paid great attention to detail. He was most helpful when I requested him to take me to the apartment on a Saturday to view the furniture which was for sale and for me to take measurements. Every time I called with a question he contacted the seller and got back to me immediately. It has been a pleasure liaising with him. He certainly is an asset to Knight Frank.

Once again, thank you for your professionalism and for taking us around Hout Bay and showing us properties.

Lyndsay, you are great value for your commission and we appreciate that your style is not to steamroller deals. Quality deal, quality experience - thank you so much. We would recommend you and Lisa (Sales Manager) in a heartbeat. 

"I should rather thank you for taking on the challenge. You were superb and I cannot thank you enough. You way exceeded my expectations by going out of your way on so many occasions. One of the most appreciated aspects was your willingness to dive in to help with the obstacles regardless of what they were. I know I definitely could not have pulled this off without your help."

“We highly appreciate the pro-active and highly professional approach of Knight Frank’s Capital Markets team. They have proven their extraordinary effort and excellent investment expertise in several projects with us and we look forward very much to working with them in the future again.”

Linda Gibson, Knight Frank agent for Rosebank and Mowbray - We are both very grateful to you on how you have handled the sale of our house. It's been a difficult process and you have kept us abreast and informed all the way, clarifying everything to us, informing us of our rights, alerting to risks and advising of advantages where possible. You have been a joy to deal with, encouraging us and being enthusiastic. Thank you so much for everything!

“For this large landmark sale it was imperative we could access the largest investors globally and Knight Frank’s international network allowed us to do just that. When we got into the detail, working with a leading investment team also allowed us to move fast and achieve our goals without any hiccups. We look forward to working with them again.”

...with much gratitude towards you and Knight Frank. Not only for the constant positive vibe towards the property, bringing suitable viewers over the years whether as potential buyers of the house or tenants for the apartments. A great big thank you for advertising on many platforms including having a set of beautiful professional photos taken and a poster made with a copy for me. For showcasing the property and the mouth-watering Wealth Report magazines. The Knight Frank Property Service even covered for me knowledgeable, professional and generously shared advice on other tenant enquiries and property sale contracts beyond the expected."

Corinne is a complete dream to deal with, she’s efficient, patient and warm.  I have never felt letting a property could be so easy and considering I’m 5,000 odd miles away, she just makes it a dream. Everything I ask of her is addressed immediately.   She’s a star.

Thank you for selling my house in Hout Bay recently. Your professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the buying process but it was your kindness, patience, gentle support and motivation to sell the house that is truly valued and appreciated. Thank you for always keeping me informed about what was happening, for remaining positive during the inevitable delays and set-backs, and for your wise advice during the price-negotiation stage. Looking back, I know you made it all happen because you are, apart from being a terrific estate agent, such a lovely person. Thank you Elke.
