Engel & Völkers

Selling a home in Stellenbosch involves more than listing it—it requires understanding how to present it to overseas buyers scouring the Web for Cape winelands retreats, how to position it for FICA compliance with international purchasers, and how to time marketing around seasonal tourism peaks. Engel & Völkers works through the detail: property valuation using current data, professional photography and floor plans, bond origination coordination with banks, and the Fidelity Fund Certificate paperwork that protects both sides. The Property Practitioners Act governs what agents can and cannot do, and staying compliant while still moving stock efficiently demands experience. Conveyancing transfers, deposit schedules, transfer duty calculations—all of it happens offstage, but it has to happen correctly. Local agents with international networks handle cross-border buyer questions and foreign exchange considerations that crop up in a town where currency matters.
