Chas Everitt

When buying or selling property, what separates a competent agent from a mediocre one comes down to what they actually know and what they're honest about. A good agent in Stellenbosch understands sectional title schemes—budget shortfalls, special levies, reserve fund adequacy—not just the purchase price. They know how to interpret a Lightstone property report and what the Propstats data actually means for comparable valuations. They can explain why a freehold property on the border of the university zone prices differently than a cottage two streets over. They ask the hard questions before you waste time: Is the bond approval realistic? Are there municipal rate arrears? Does the property have Certificate of Occupancy or outstanding municipal violations? Chas Everitt brings that rigour—the willingness to say a asking price is unrealistic, or that a buyer's offer structure won't get bank approval. That honesty protects you from overpaying or underselling.
