In addition to Seeff’s almost 200 offices throughout South Africa, as well as in Botswana, Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, eSwatini, Mauritius, Zimbabwe, Namibia, and Dubai, Seeff is also the exclusive Southern African partner to Hamptons International since 2015.
This puts the Seeff Property Group in the unique position to provide exposure for our client’s properties internationally, as well as to put them in touch with property opportunities in other markets.

We have seen growing demand from international buyers and investors in properties in key locations not just within Southern Africa, but also in international destinations. Many South Africans want to diversify their investment portfolios by adding international properties into the mix, and the Seeff Property Group is delighted to be able to assist our customers whether they want to sell to international buyers, or invest in desired international locations.
Seeff's exclusive partnership with Hamptons International offers unparalleled advantages to both property sellers and buyers. For sellers, this collaboration extends their property's reach to a vast international network of affluent buyers actively seeking opportunities in the UK and beyond, maximizing exposure and potentially achieving a premium sale price.
