About Us

Wakefields is a proud, family-owned residential property business that first open its doors on the eve of World War II, in September 1939.

We have built our reputation on the simple belief that everyone should feel confident when buying, selling, or renting their home. No matter the property market conditions, Wakefields has the experience to advise buyers, sellers, tenants, and landlords on the best possible outcome.

Wakefields is a proudly South African company that has always embraced diversity and transformation. In line with our commitment to the goals of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment, we are focused in sustainably implementing our BEE strategy within our business.

What Is The Wakefields Way?

Our success has been based on the simple philosophy: to provide each of our clients with the care and information they need to feel confident when buying, selling or renting a home and ensuring that the experience is both memorable and exceeds customer service expectations.

It is the #WakefieldsWay to ensure that our clients have what they need to make informed decisions during any real estate transaction. We measure our success not by the number of sales but the number of repeat clients and referral business we receive.

The #WakefieldsWay is about turning “a house on the market” into someone's dream home.
