Shain Properties

Separating competent agents from those coasting on commission visibility comes down to what they actually know. Can they explain the difference between a bond origination fee and attorney costs? Do they understand why a property that passed inspection might still fail the bond valuation? Can they advise on cross-border scenarios—when a buyer is relocating from Cape Town and doesn't know Johannesburg's transport patterns? Experience in Randburg specifically means knowing which surveyors are reliable, which attorneys don't lose transfers in their queue, and which municipal officials actually return calls. Reputation in the neighbourhood matters more than any marketing campaign.
