Client Testimonials


From our initial meeting with Craig he was professional, upfront and open about the process. His experience in the area assisted us greatly in managing expectations, understanding the process and getting a realistic sense of what was possible. Craig was always available and ever ready to provide advice, not just related to the sale of our house, but also to property matters unrelated. His approach with clients is excellent, never forceful and always willing to follow what the client's ultimate goal is. We would definitely recommend Craig if you are looking to sell your home.

Craig Algie, of Seeff Properties helped sell my home in Observatory. He was comforting to deal with and instilled confidence. He was completely honest and up front at all times and answered messages promptly -nothing was too much trouble.

In a difficult and slow market I never felt pushed in any way and his advice was always measured and considered.

I value his discretion and am delighted he found a buyer for my home.

Sally McConnell | Seller

I have been in contact with Craig for several years, during which time he valuated my home and periodically sent me information about new properties on the market that he felt would meet my needs. I have always appreciated that Craig seemed very in touch with the specific property market in our area, and afforded me the opportunity to view new houses before they were advertised. When we decided to sell our home in November of 2018, we agreed to a sole mandate with Seeff and were glad that we did so. Although initially skeptical about the cost of an estate agent's commission versus the value of the service we felt we were likely to receive, we have been very satisfied with Seeff in general and Craig in particular, for the following reasons: - Craig has always made himself available to us, often making the effort to meet in person, even at relatively short notice; - Craig led most of the show houses at our property and when he was not available, he was generally replaced by another senior agent with comparable experience and expertise; - The buying and selling of property can be an extremely stressful exercise, and we felt that Craig offered us sound, professional advice and generally prioritised our interests and not just "making the sale". This was very helpful, particularly in understanding the nuances of contracts, compliance certificates, etc. We also felt we could ask him for informal advice when we purchased our subsequent property through a private sale, which was certainly beyond his contractual obligations to us. Further, the challenges we experienced in purchasing directly from a private seller made the value of a professional agent's skills and expertise even more clear. - Seeff seemed to have an established database of buyers and sellers, as well as the resources and capacity for advertising, follow-­ups with clients, etc. This was another consideration that led us to choose Seeff, although we originally considered using an online site at a lower cost. Ultimately, we were able to sell our property at relatively close to the asking price, even in a difficult market. I am happy to recommend Craig to anyone looking to sell their property and would consider using his services again in future.

The service rendered by yourself was professional and highly informative. I felt supported through the process and appreciate your assistance in the sale of my property.

I will contact you should I sell or purchase a property in the future.

Leiton Chan | Seller

We recently sold our house in Observatory, and as first-time sellers, we couldn't have asked for a better estate agent than Craig Algie. From the start, Craig provided honest, insightful advice that truly put our needs first. His professionalism and dedication to serving us were evident in every interaction. Craig was on another level in terms of service - he genuinely cared about our experience and ensuring the best possible outcome for us, not just making a sale (which he successfully achieved!).

Craig's responsiveness and commitment made the entire process seamless and stress-free. He is also just a lekka guy overall. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to sell their property.

Thank you, Craig, for your outstanding service and support!

John Loubser | Seller

I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your hard work in selling my property in Cape Town. Living overseas, I was worried about how things would go, but you made everything so easy and stress-free.

You did an amazing job coordinating with my tenant for viewings and managing appointments with potential buyers. There were a few hiccups along the way, and you had to deal with the City of Cape Town, the neighbors, and the technicians. You handled everything so smoothly that I always felt informed but never had to get involved. Your attention to detail and professionalism were impressive, especially given the tough market conditions.

I'm especially grateful that I didn't have to fly to South Africa. You took care of everything, saving me a lot of time, effort, and money. Your regular updates and clear communication kept me in the loop and made me feel confident throughout the process.

You exceeded all my expectations and made the sale of my property smooth and successful.

I'd be happy to recommend your services to anyone looking for a great real estate agent. You truly made a difficult process feel easy, and for that, I am very grateful.

Thanks again for everything.

Craig Algie managed the sale of our property in a very professional and diligent manner. He was always available for questions and was thorough and precise. He was very helpful and gave straight to the point assistance and advice. He was supportive throughout, and the whole process went seamlessly from start to finish. I can highly recommend Craig Algie as an estate agent.

Henk Temmingh | Seller
Craig has been an incredible driving force behind the sale of our property, which in the current unstable economic environment, took much longer than expected. He persisted with solid advice and was always realistic, yet optimistic in his approach. The professional manner in which he dealt with not only us as the sellers, but any potential purchasers was incredibly impressive and he always made us feel at ease with the decisions we had made.
We appreciate everything you have done Craig, assisting in the sale of our property. We would recommend you to absolutely everyone!! Thank you for rolling up your sleeves even on the last day when we moved out and our bed didn't want to fit through the door! Your commitment is commendable.
Lizanne and Chris | Seller
Kirsten and I met Craig and George when we purchased our home in Observatory in 2016. The process was smooth and the experience was good, so naturally Seeff was our first choice when we chose to sell in 2020. 

We enjoyed the transparency of the swift valuation process, specifically the fact that we were not drowned in long tedious house inspections and multiple Excel models. The team knew the area and values and put something forward, which we were happy with. The poof was in the sale though, as the houses moved 50% quicker than the pre-pandemic timeline, which was a great milestone.

Mostly, we enjoyed their easy-going style and being relatable and involved during every step of the process, while knowing the details of the area and property backwards. From offer through to transfer, it was clear and simple for us.

After battling to sell our home, Craig jumped in helping us in a very uncertain and difficult post-"first wave covid" time. During this time he went above all expectations and was more than patient answering our often very persistent and repetitive questions, offering carefully thought-through and sound advice at exactly the right time. Both me and my wife consider Craig a friend after our experience of selling our home. Thank you Craig!

Anton Platzoeder | Seller

Mr Algie listed my company's apartment in Woodstock Quarter in December 2021 on behalf of SEEFF Properties. At the outset, Craig was comprehensive in his approach, offering sound advice, and thoroughly professional in ensuring that my requirements as a seller were addressed.

Within 2 months, I received an acceptable offer to purchase which was completed promptly. This is noteworthy as the buyer was based in the USA, and I am based in Johannesburg. Further, Mr Algie facilitated the sale of the entire contents of the Apartment as well, which is normally not part of his obligations. Additionally, Craig ensured that he was available during leave when the Buyer took early occupation of the Apartment.

I would highlight the following strengths of Mr Algie as being thorough in his administrative work, extremely strong in his interpersonal skills, level-headed and always approachable.

Ebrahim Asmal | Seller
When we first met with you, we were impressed with your matter of fact appraisal of our property and the related market factors. 
 
You quietly guided us through the whole sale process with professional calm and we never had to worry about any aspect of the maze of paperwork and red tape.  Including taking initiative to get a legal opinion on some unexpected Body Corporate issues.
 
Thank you for making this such a stress free transaction and we will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in the future.
Eric & Carin Hill | Sellers

It is our pleasure to recommend Craig Algie as a real estate agent. He has assisted us with selling our cottage in Woodstock and has managed the process smoothly and confidently. He is trustworthy and was always available for all our many questions. He knows the local real estate market very well and we trust his opinion.

We recommend Craig Algie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. He is hands down the best in the business in our opinion. 

Melania Totaro & Florian Regenfuss | Sellers

I would like to reach out to you in appreciation for the recent work you have done for me.

I have found through the process of selling my house in Woodstock a lot of bad actors and people who act in poor faith but I was also privileged enough to have found you. 

Without your drive and commitment to the cause, the sale would not have been possible. 

This is a testament to your keen work ethic and calm disposition. 

Thank you for your truly exemplary service.

You shall come highly recommended from me.

Mary Fehr | Seller

Craig sold our house in Observatory, Cape Town at the beginning of this year. As we live in the UK and were renting out our Cape Town property, we needed an agent who is reliable, who communicates well and who could effectively coordinate with our tenants. During the entire process, from valuation through to marketing and then to managing the sale, Craig was reliable, sensible and hard working. He went out of his way to communicate with our tenants, working with them to arrange viewing times that did not inconvenience them. He efficiently sent through offers to us, and was not pushy about what we should decide. After we had accepted an offer, Craig went above and beyond in managing the process of getting compliance certificates and liaising with contractors. He also problem solved and worked with our conveyancer to get transfer as soon as possible. I highly recommend Craig to anyone who is looking to sell their property.
