Whether for residential, commercial, industrial, or developmental spaces, Hendless Property deserves a spot in our list as one of the best real estate brokerages in Johannesburg. 

While it mainly has houses on sale, Hendless Property also takes on townhouses, vacant lots, villas, and even restaurants, spas, farms, hotels, and new development spaces. This brokerage even offers properties for rent, hence their high score for diversity. 

Hendless Property also received high points for its accessibility to information, all thanks to its very own search engine for available listings. 

With this feature on its website, aspiring homeowners need only input their desired land area, number of rooms, property type, and price range, and voila, they’ll get a list of available houses. You can even compare various listings for easier choosing.

We also appreciate how Hendless Property has properties grouped according to the specific agent handling the listing. Its website is also pretty inclusive, what with 4 language options.

Hendless Property’s agents even have their numbers and emails posted on their website. This way, you can directly communicate with the agent handling the house you want.

That said, its team is a bit smaller than others and doesn’t have property managers and lawyers. But on the bright side, Hendless Property is open even on Saturdays to give busy working bees ample time to explore their options.

You can book an appointment by calling its office or sending an email beforehand.

Jawitz Properties is an expert in everything real estate. We say this because it has real estate agents and bookers, as well as property managers to help you take care of your estate.

What’s more, it can connect you to getting home loans. Jawitz Properties even has useful and informative online tools like calculators and area profiles.

With such a big team size, it’s also no wonder that Jawitz Properties handles various real estate listings at a time. This real estate brokerage even has for sale and for rent properties alike.

It has everything from quaint residential homes to farmlands and vacant lands for industrial use. We even found that it offers bank-repossessed lands sometimes, giving those on lower budgets a few options for real estate.

The best thing about this real estate brokerage is that it has several locations within and nearby the city. I guess you can say that Jawitz Properties truly has the best real estate brokerages in Johannesburg.

Do know that despite having numerous locations, Jawitz Properties still didn’t get a perfect score for availability. That’s because it’s open only on weekdays.

But the good thing is that it has a page dedicated to listings on show for the week. With complete listing details, this ‘On Show’ page can at least help you plan which properties to visit.

Its portfolio is also very detailed as it also includes details, such as pet friendliness and bond repayment plans, which are otherwise ignored by others. Its website even allows Jawitz Properties’ clients to save their favourite listings.

Law Real Estate is one of the biggest real estate brokerages not only in the city but in the country as well. We say this because it has branches in major cities like Johannesburg and Cape Town.

Its team is also big, with 15 professional real estate practitioners and over 30 intern agents. Among these professionals, some even have property management and marketing backgrounds.

We also like that its enquiry forms are categorised depending on whether you want to buy or you want to sell. In these forms, you can input details such as price range, number of bathrooms and bedrooms, property type, garage and parking spaces, and even pet friendliness.

For property types, Law Real Estate offers townhouses, apartments, cottages, farms, vacant lands, residential complexes, industrial spaces, and offices. It also has access to commercial spaces like hotels and retail spaces.

For the forms for buying, you can even input your target move-in date. You can even state whether you want a bare, semi-furnished, or fully furnished unit.

That said, these forms don’t exactly function as filters for searching properties on its website. Instead of showing properties available on its website, Law Real Estate instead contacts aspiring homeowners who filled out the forms.

Still, Law Real Estate has a few featured properties on its website. You can also sign up for alerts for properties.

And unfortunately, its operating hours are relatively limited to weekday schedules. But on the bright side, Law Real Estate has various communication lines open, including email, fax, mobile, and landline.

We also gave it a low score for pricing as it doesn’t have commission details and rates posted for transparency.

Among these best real estate brokerages in Johannesburg, Leadhome Properties stands out for those selling their properties. We say this because Leadhome Properties has convenient policies for its selling clients. 

First of all, Leadhome Properties makes house selling less of a hassle by taking informational photos, doing all the related paperwork, and contacting lawyers.

Next, it offers a fixed flat rate which you can pay for only after the sale is finalized. This and its free home valuations are reasons why we gave it such a high score for pricing and payment.

Booking such a free service is even made easy with Leadhome Properties’ online appointment forms. What’s more, it’s one of the few brokerages open for the entire day on weekends; it even has 24/7 online services!

Leadhome Properties also has a large team of real estate professionals, with members from various suburbs. It also has in-house social media managers and property advisors, and connections with digital marketers.

Aside from being the best in house selling, Leadhome Properties also excels in helping clients buy or rent residential spaces. 

Its online search for available properties are very comprehensive. The agent responsible for the property is even featured in the page for direct communications.

We also appreciate its dedicated webpage for repayment and affordability calculators.

But given all these, leadhome Properties still has its shortcomings. For one, it only handles residential spaces.

Additionally, its online search engine lacks the option for comparing numerous listings at a time.

Allegiance Properties is one of the best real estate brokerages in Johannesburg for a few reasons. For one, it offers all types of real estate assets, from rental residential spaces like apartments to industrial properties like warehouses and empty lands.

This real estate brokerage even stands out for having farms and lands that are for rent, catering to aspiring industrial property owners who are tight on budget at the moment.

It also offers its services to those planning to sell their homes. Allegiance Properties even throws in free property valuations for those who inquire.

The real estate brokerage also has links to bond calculators for your convenience. 

However, we noticed that Allegiance Properties’ listings don’t come with extra information, besides the usual price, floor area, and the number of beds and baths. Still, it received high points for accessibility of information since it has a user-friendly search engine for properties.

Besides, each featured property’s page even comes with the contact number of the real estate agent responsible for it.

Just make sure to free up one of your workdays for appointments as Allegiance Properties closes early on Fridays and lacks weekend operating hours. 

We especially like how it has separate lines for those who are buying and those who are only planning to rent. 

So, while Allegiance Properties has a relatively small team, it can still surely provide efficient real estate services.
