Dealing with Paula & Giles was a DREAM! They sold my apartment in Green Point in record time (& when the market was tough!)... most impressive to me was the constant communication & professionalism. As a working professional, I respect efficiency & effectiveness without being mollycoddled - they went over and above in service delivery on all levels and I couldn't recommend CARDOC enough! Hands on, old school & they get the job done! THANK YOU!

Thank you to Paula and Giles for handling the sale of our house so efficiently and professionally. It was a pleasure from start to finish dealing with Caradoc. The house was marketed beautifully and timeously and we received several offers immediately. We always received feedback from potential buyers promptly and from this feedback could see how much the buyers also liked interacting with both Paula and Giles. I
