Botswana recently marked a significant democratic milestone with a change in government led by President Duma Boko, and the country looks set for a positive year with improved economic growth forecasted by the IMF.
For Seeff Botswana it is also a milestone year as the brand turned 20-years old in November. Kim Bekker, licensee for Seeff Botswana, says it should be another productive year for the property sector, and for Seeff which just continues to grow as the market and sector continues to grow.
Since 2004, Seeff has matured into a leading real estate brand with a strong reputation across the broad spectrum of the market. From residential to development projects, agriculture, commercial, business, industrial, and tourism properties, covering sales and rentals, as well as property valuations, and a strong footprint in high-end residential property sales and rentals, Seeff has proudly become a market leader, says Kim.
“Having grown with the market, we offer in-depth understanding of local dynamics and nuances combined with our client-centric approach, and focus on exceptional service.” She notes that the company is also part of the Seeff Property Group, a leading regional real estate branch which celebrated 60-years in property last year, thus offering a broader network.
The Seeff Group is highly respected with over 1200 agents and 200 branches across Southern Africa, including Botswana, and also in Mauritius and Dubai, along with international reach via an exclusive partnership with Hamptons International, a member of the Countrywide Group, the largest real estate group in the United Kingdom.
National chairman of the group, Samuel Seeff says Seeff Botswana is one of most established and successful regional licenses which continues to innovate as the property sector grows in the country. Kim adds that the company is built on strong group values which include integrity, excellence, and family, inspired by a passion for seeing people prosper through property.
Service-Excellence and Trusted Relationships
Kim says further that Seeff Botswana offers clients comprehensive real estate services and solutions, whether you want to invest in Botswana or elsewhere. “We focus on service excellence and operational efficiency, striking a perfect balance of astute business savvy, and a real understanding of our customers' needs.”
The company boasts a loyal clientele of landlords, tenants, and investors, and partners with diverse organizations—from financial institutions and blue-chip companies to embassies and public enterprises—to provide comprehensive services. The brand is known for its expertise, service, best practices, and full legal and regulatory compliance.
Client-centric with a focus on lasting partnerships, Seeff Botswana prioritises a motivated and skilled workforce dedicated to exceptional service and ethical conduct, upholding the brand's integrity in all interactions.
A Full Spectrum of Real Estate Services
Seeff Botswana provides a full range of real estate services, from property sales and rentals to value-added services like financing facilitation and legal assistance, supported by a dynamic property portfolio and a network of regional and international affiliates.
Our successful track record is beyond compare, says Kim. It includes great success in property valuations and a highly qualified in-house team with an impressive track record of valuations worth over BWP1.5 billion on behalf of most commercial banks in Botswana. In 2023, Seeff also carried out 2,000 valuations in the Selebi-Phikwe area.
Excellence in residential real estate include leading sales in prestigious areas like Phakalane Golf Estate, achieving prices of up to BWP5-15 million. Seeff also achieved prices of up to BWP9-12 million in Central Gaborone where the averages are generally between BWP2-4 million. Seeff regularly achieves high-value rentals over BWP20,000 per month, many to our broad corporate and individual client base.
The brand has secured numerous sole and joint mandates for major developments with successes such as a 100% tenancy achieved within three months for Acacia Manor townhouses. New joint mandates include Seriti Estates, Bodulo Apartments, Motswedi Place, Sesha Mews, and Gemstone Lifestyle with a dedicated resource to market and sell these.
In the commercial, industrial, agricultural and tourism market the brand has grown through personal relationships with CEO’s and property officers in various companies, and achieved great success with lease agreements for large multinationals in the BWP80,000-100,000 per month range.
Seeff’s specialist commercial team collaborates with legal, surveying, development, and project management professionals to deliver expert advice and optimal outcomes for clients.
