Rawson Auctions - Southern Region

I would like to take this amazing and wonderful opportunity to sincerely thank the entire Rawson Auctions team for all your hard work and dedication. To Cagney Nienaber—your efforts have been truly exceptional. You are such a dedicated woman, and your persistence in getting my property SOLD was nothing short of remarkable. From the start, you confidently told me, "Don’t worry Brandon, I will sell your house very quickly,"—and that’s exactly what you did. You wasted no time and took swift, effective action. I truly appreciate everything you've done. Cagney, your commitment and drive completely exceeded my expectations. You've genuinely shocked me—in the best way possible! Once again, thank you so much for your outstanding work and unwavering dedication. It means the world to me. Much appreciated, and may God bless you always—now and forever. Warm regards, Seller: Brandon Sydney Smerdon

Tanya and her team assisted us with the sale of our property recently. They were excellent! Tanya took responsibility for the sale listened to what was important to us. There were a couple of offers that didn't meet our expectations, which we turned down. Throughout she remained patient and determined, giving us facts about the market, without pushing for an outcome. She found us a buyer who paid a fair price and we were delighted. The team were responsive, communicative and efficient throughout and I am very appreciative to them.

How does property auction work in South Africa?
