Testimonials

Appreciate the professional and prompt service from you and your team Greg   - Derick Van Rensburg

Having been in sales for most of my professional life, I have learned that there are people who say what they are going to do, and people who do what they say that are going to do.
High Street auctioneers are definitely the latter.
Greg Dart and his team at High Steet are amongst the most professional people I have had the privilege of working with.
From the very first introduction, through the process along with the integrity and the accessibility, High Steet made the process open, honest and seamless.
I am most grateful to Greg and High Street for everything they have done to sell our property. Your company is very fortunate to have a guy like you Greg   - Charles Gonsenhauser

We want to thank High Street Auctions for handling the disposal of various shopping centres owned by us during the past couple of years. We come from an era where sales of properties are done behind closed doors, and we were skeptical whether auctioning properties would improve the selling price. We are pleased that we decided to give High Street Auctions the opportunity to market and sell various properties. Not only did their expertise and professionalism make the process easier, but it also resulted in higher yields for us. Thanks again.   - Eben Mouton on behalf of Shoprite Checkers Properties

I am very Happy and satisfied in the way Greer Brewer handled the sale of my property. She is very open and transparent through the entire process of the transaction. She also keeps you informed each step of the way.   - Mohammed Hamel - Erf 9 Ferrobank

Would like to give the team at High Street Auctions my profound thanks for their professionalism, efficiency and innovation in thought and deed. With the upcoming auction on 27th March, High Street would have run 7 auctions over their tenure, and taken 197 properties to market. 57 properties have already been transferred and 64 are in progress. Exceptional results include the disposal of the Virgin Active precinct lease for R3.7m/month.   - Alderman James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth

I would like to offer you my appreciation and thanks for going the extra mile in selling our business premises. Over the years the area we were in, deteriorated and we found ourselves in a position that there were no or very few buyers for our property. We approached High Street Auctioneers and Greer Brewer, who immediately took charge of the current situation. Her enthusiasm was amazing. Before long there were signboards on the property as well as posters on street poles adverting our property. The Auction process was very professional and quick. Once a buyer was found, Greer, who stayed in touch with me throughout the entire process, got the transfer process underway. Before we knew it, the property was registered on the Buyers name. I therefore recommend Greer and High Street Auctioneers to anyone who wishes to Auction a Property, Private of Commercial. You won't be disappointed.   - Kevin Green

Hi Greg, Matt Mackenzie here from Eris Property Group. Just wanted to send you and the team at High Street a note to say thank you very much for all your efforts in disposing of the Doornkloof building. We believe the process went really well and Momentum was super happy with the results that you guys achieved, so we are very grateful for all your help and efforts in getting this across the line. I think it just came down to a change of mindset from our point of view - in going the auction route. I believe our channels were kind of maxed out in terms of reaching the buyers. So, very pleased we went that way and hopefully we can have many successful sales in the future. Cheers   - Matt Mackenzie on Behalf of Eris Property Group

I would like to thank High Street Auction for the professional service that was rendered to us when disposing our Glendower Place Shopping Centre on their auction platform.

In particular I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Lady Greer Brewer for her proficiency, tenacity and her untiring effort with calmness.

Thank you once again for going to great lengths to achieving an acceptable result.   - Essop Laher

In taking our prime 3 Ha development site situated adjacent to the Woodlands Boulevard Shopping to auction, we found Themba to be professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He never gave up on sealing the deal and it was largely due to these qualities that the deal was concluded.    - Jess Kyriacou

A quick note from me and Growthpoint. Thanks for all of your help in 2021 to dispose of Isando 107. Good luck for you and your team in the year ahead.

Yoni, I am still pinching myself from shock. Thank you a million times over. Actually thank you 3.5 millions times over! Thanks be to G-d for putting you in my life and for all His blessings.   - Marina

Since my first engagement with The High Street Auction Company, I have been very impressed. Guy Dowding, our representative, has been very professional in all his dealings with us. From the start, I have been kept informed about the process and kept abreast of developments after we signed the pre-auction offer. Selling a property whilst living abroad is never an easy task, but Guy made this effortless for us. The pictures and information pack of the property was of exceptional quality and I would recommend Guy to work with any prospective seller. Thank you very much for concluding a successful deal. I am very grateful.    - Frans Smit - Chief Financial Officer

The Benstra Building in Arcadia was deemed non-core, and Texton considered various options for its disposal. High Street was appointed to auction the property, given the success of its previous disposal of Vodacom Park in Wierda Valley for us in 2016. Despite the challenge of the main tenant in the building not being able to commit to renewal of the lease, High Street Auction Company again completed a comprehensive marketing campaign and the subsequent disposal on auction day was a superb result for the Fund. We come across few people that are as thorough and passionate as those in the High Street team.    - Texton Property Fund

The Fund appointment High Street Auctions on a number of challenging properties deemed to be non-core to our portfolio. High Street used multiple platforms to secure a result for us on the development land in East London, including private tender and auction. They were very persistent in the market, and this enabled us to conclude the transaction despite various obstacles. Our stakeholders were very happy with the outcome.   - Stephen Maritz - CEO

"The auction was very well presented, very professionally run and overall extremely efficient. We were very impressed by the effort and professional manner in which the day was presented"   - Kruger & Pottinger Attorneys - Director

It is has been excellent working with the High Street team. Excellent service. Keep it up!   - Ebrahim Osman

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for going out of your way with both my properties. I have never seen an agent put in so much effort into; taking time to meet with me and my staff, numerous phone calls, driving up and down to the council, taking all my after hour calls, and so forth.I have now sold a couple of properties through auction houses. This has been my best experience by far... Not at any stage "pushy"; but also not mediocre in any way. Rather a willingness to help and serve. I got the feeling that I was the client. I feel that in such a short time, I have met a new friend - not a sales person. If this is the way that you represent your company - we will definitely do business in the future. I recommend Greer Brewer from High Street Auctions to all in future!!!   - Mark van Rooyen

"I had to auction a property in Germiston on behalf of my son, which took place on 27 August 2014 at your offices successfully. I would like to place on record that it was a complicated affair as documents had to be obtained from banks, accountants, the City Council, from Australia, and in constant consultation with attorneys, involving a trust and sectional title.Our contact was with Mr Neels van Rensburg, and was conducted with great professionalism and in an excellent and correct manner leading up to the actual auction. At all times he acted in a most attentive manner and helped us deal with innumerable problems, and it was with pleasure that I can commend his contributions. He was always prompt in advising, and the level of communication was exemplary. I should like to add that the company he represents, High Street Auctions has provided what I would deem a "world class "service in every regard. I attended the auction held at "Summer Place "in Illovo, where the professional attitude and keen interest of all the staff and Directors was obvious."   - Ebeth Potter

"We decided to go the auction route as other agents were not able to extract offers for the building over a substantial route. We are pleased with the result and the auction process and using High Street Auctions has been effective in disposing of a property that has been a problem for us for a while."   - Simon Lester

"I felt that the service was very professional and that they knew what they were doing at all times. Everything was done before or on time with fantastic high quality. I would most definitely recommend High Street Auction and Dovi.   - Peter Venter

"We have utilised the services of High Street Auctions for several years and would highly recommend there services to any party seeking the services of a reputable professional auctioneer. Nick and the staff have always treated us with the utmost respect, this combined with their knowledge of the property market and transparency in dealing with the mandates have made the decision for Gateway Capital to adopt the auction route an easy one. We look forward to a continued business relationship with them."    - Rowan Tilbury

"I was very happy with the service I received from High Street Auctions. Throughout the process James, Nick and Lauren were professional and communicated with a well executed marketing campaign, processing the interest generated, and feedback up to day of auction. I always felt like we were all working towards a common goal - the sale of my building which we achieved!   - Mith Rankin
