Selling your home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. It’s not just about listing a property - it’s about timing, cost, technology, presentation, negotiation and, ultimately, trust. For many South African homeowners, the traditional estate agency model no longer feels aligned with how people want to sell today. High commission fees, limited transparency and outdated processes can leave home sellers feeling uncertain and out of control.
That’s where Leadhome offers a smarter alternative.
Leadhome was built around a simple idea: selling your home should be professional, transparent, utilising the benefits of technology and cost-effective - without sacrificing service or results. Here’s why more property sellers across South Africa are choosing Leadhome as their preferred way to sell.
Selling a home isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. Some homeowners want to be closely involved in the process, others prefer to manage the viewings themselves, while many still value a more traditional, fully assisted approach. What matters most is having the freedom to choose how you sell - and how involved you want to be.
Leadhome was built around this principle. Leadhome offers two additional flexible selling options, allowing homeowners to choose what works best for their lifestyle, location and level of confidence.
Whether you prefer a hands-on role, a self-managed sale or a traditional selling experience, Leadhome provides clear options that respect both your preferences and your financial outcome.
Hybrid Model - Show your own home
For sellers who know their homes and neighbourhoods well, Leadhome offers a model that allows homeowners to personally show their property to potential buyers. Many sellers have lived in their homes for years and can offer valuable, real-world insight into the property, the area and the lifestyle it offers.
This approach creates a more personal and informative viewing experience for buyers, while allowing sellers to remain actively involved in the process. It’s a practical option for homeowners who want greater control and engagement during the sale.
A Traditional Selling Experience, Done Better
For homeowners who prefer a more conventional approach, Leadhome continues to offer a traditional property selling service. This option follows a familiar structure, while still benefiting from Leadhome’s modern systems, transparent communication and market-driven insights.
Leadhome Go - List and Sell on Your Own Terms
Leadhome also recognises that some sellers are confident in managing the sale themselves - particularly in areas where Leadhome agents are not active. Leadhome Go allows homeowners to list their property on Leadhome’s platform and handle the sale independently.
This model provides access to Leadhome’s marketing reach and online visibility, while giving sellers full control over viewings, negotiations and decision-making. It’s a straightforward, self-managed option designed for sellers who want autonomy without sacrificing exposure.
Flexibility That Works in Your Favour
What truly sets Leadhome apart is the ability for sellers to choose how involved they want to be in the selling process. Whether you prefer a hands-on role, a self-managed sale or a traditional experience, Leadhome offers a selling framework designed around choice, clarity and control.
Importantly, this flexibility isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about removing unnecessary costs, offering smarter alternatives and delivering a professional home selling service that prioritises value, transparency and confidence for the homeowner.
Other Benefits of Selling with Leadhome
- Expert Real Estate Professionals You Can Trust
At the heart of Leadhome’s offering is a team of experienced real estate professionals who understand both the market and the realities of selling a home. Sellers benefit from knowledgeable guidance, clear communication and a structured approach that keeps the process moving smoothly from start to finish. This expertise is especially valuable when it comes to pricing, managing buyer interest and navigating offers with confidence. With Leadhome, homeowners work with professionals who are proactive, responsive and focused on delivering a well-coordinated selling experience - ensuring sellers feel supported, informed and in control at every stage of their sale.
- A Dedicated Property Advisor Desk That Keeps Your Sale Moving
Leadhome’s Property Advisor Desk plays a key role in ensuring speed, efficiency and consistency throughout the selling process. By professionally managing enquiries and coordinating appointments, the desk ensures that every potential buyer interaction is handled promptly and seamlessly. This structured first point of contact means sellers never miss an opportunity and buyer interest is captured while it’s fresh. The result is a smoother, more organised experience for homeowners - one where communication flows efficiently, timelines are respected and the selling process stays firmly on track from the very first enquiry.
- Smart Technology That Keeps Your Sale on Track
Selling property today requires more than visibility - it requires systems that work reliably behind the scenes. Leadhome uses intelligent, purpose-built technology to ensure the selling process is organised, responsive and consistent from the very first enquiry. Instead of fragmented tools and manual coordination, Leadhome’s systems support faster responses, clearer communication and fewer missed opportunities, giving sellers confidence that their property is being handled professionally at every stage.
This technology quietly supports a smoother selling journey for both buyers and sellers. Viewings are coordinated efficiently, communication is timely and accurate, and sellers benefit from greater visibility into how their property is performing. The result is less uncertainty, fewer delays and a more controlled, stress-free experience - one where modern systems do the heavy lifting in the background, allowing people to focus on making informed decisions and achieving the right outcome.
- Local Expertise, Backed by a strong Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban Brand
Leadhome operates in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban and understands that property is always local. Each region is supported by dedicated teams who know their areas, their buyers and their local property market conditions.
Whether you’re selling your house in Johannesburg, Bedfordview, the East, South or West Rand, the northern suburbs or along the coast in Cape Town and Durban, you benefit from local agent expertise combined with a nationally recognised brand. This balance ensures your home is priced correctly, marketed effectively and positioned to attract the right buyers.
You’re never dealing with a call centre or a faceless system - you’re working with qualified real estate professionals who understand your neighbourhood and your goals.
- Transparent Pricing and Realistic Evaluations
One of the most common frustrations sellers experience is unrealistic pricing. Over-pricing can lead to homes sitting on the market for months, while under-pricing can cost you thousands. Getting the price right from the start is critical - not just for attracting buyers, but for protecting your final outcome.
Leadhome takes a data-driven approach to property evaluations. Sellers receive realistic market insights based on comparable sales, buyer demand and current market trends. This enables informed pricing decisions from day one, rather than chasing the market later with repeated adjustments.
What truly sets Leadhome apart, however, is its transparent, fixed-fee pricing model. Instead of paying a percentage-based commission, sellers pay a fixed fee linked to the mandate listing price - and importantly, only once the property is sold. Using the Leadhome commission calculator available on the website, sellers can determine their exact fee in seconds, with just a few clicks. There’s no need to wait for estimates or fine print - the cost is clear upfront. This means no surprises and no inflated fees tied to rising property values, just clarity, certainty and control from the very start of the selling journey.
The result is meaningful savings that sellers can put towards what really matters next - whether that’s moving costs, a new beginning or even that sassy new L-shaped couch you’ve been eyeing (leopard print included).
Transparency doesn’t stop at pricing. From the initial valuation to the final offer, sellers are kept informed every step of the way, with clear feedback, open communication and access to tools such as Leadhome’s commission calculator - ensuring you always know where you stand throughout the selling process.
- Professional Marketing That Attracts Serious Buyers
Exposure matters. Leadhome ensures your property is professionally marketed across the major property portals and relevant digital channels. Quality photography, accurate descriptions and strategic positioning all play a role in attracting serious property buyers.
Rather than relying on outdated tactics, Leadhome focuses on targeted property marketing, effective marketing designed to connect your home with buyers who are actively searching - not just browsing. This approach increases the likelihood of qualified enquiries, meaningful viewings and serious offers.
- Support That Puts Sellers First
At every stage of the selling process, Leadhome’s focus remains firmly on the seller. From your first conversation to the final signature, you’re supported by professionals who understand the importance of communication, responsiveness and accountability.
You’re guided through:
- Preparing your home for sale
- Understanding the selling process
- Managing viewings and feedback
- Negotiating offers
- Navigating the final steps to property transfer
This structured support helps remove uncertainty and ensures you always know what comes next.
- A Selling Experience Designed for Modern Homeowners
Today’s home sellers want clarity, efficiency and fairness. They want to understand what they’re paying for, stay informed and feel confident that their interests are being protected.
Leadhome was designed with these expectations in mind. By combining local expertise, transparent pricing, modern technology and professional service, it delivers a home selling experience that feels relevant, empowering and genuinely homeowner-focused.
