Lyndsay and Linda were fantastic in assisting us in both buying our new home and selling our current property. They did this with minimal intrusion into our busy schedules and on our own terms. Even when the inevitable hurdles cropped up, they managed to navigate (sometimes tricky!) discussions and find a workable solution for all parties. Moving house is a stressful experience but they helped in making the whole process much smoother and enjoyable. Many thanks in bringing us our dream home!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Bruce from Hardie Property to find our apartment in Cape Town, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his help. From start to finish, he was incredibly hands-on, attentive, and communicative, making what could have been a stressful process feel seamless.

Bruce took the time to meet with us in person, truly understand our needs, and guide us through every step of the journey. Beyond just helping us secure the apartment, he went above and beyond by connecting us with the right vendors to handle our paperwork, ensuring everything was in order. His dedication and professionalism were evident in every interaction, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about making this experience smooth and successful for us.

If you’re looking for a realtor in Cape Town who is not only knowledgeable but also deeply committed to his clients, we highly recommend Bruce. He exceeded all our expectations, and we’re incredibly thankful for his hard work!

Best experience with Lyndsay Child. She is warm , genuine, kind and honest, and wanted the best outcome for me, and the seller, with no pressure to make a sale. After sale support and communication was fantastic. Restored my faith in peoples’ goodness.

I had the pleasure of working with Lyndsay at Hardie Property a couple of months ago.
Within 5 days of meeting Lyndsay, she managed to sell my apartment. Extremely pleasant personality and provides a professional, helpful and unobtrusive service. I would definitely contact her again, for any future property needs.

Richard and Bruce were amazing.
Incredible marketing and service.
I gave the property to a bunch of agents and somehow without the use of P24 they were able to find and bring through a huge volume of potential buyers in a short time and secure a great buyer who loved our home.

Richard and Bruce were such a pleasure to deal with and they know how to market on a variety of channels and put budget behind it in order to find the right buyers as fast as possible.
Highly recommended team!!
Thank you for everything

The decision to sell a property that I’ve owned for over 20yrs came with lots of emotions. However, thanks to Richard’s kind, thoughtful guidance and support, the process went very smoothly. Richard was neither pushy nor greedy. He was always readily available when I needed advice and thoroughly professional.
I wholeheartedly recommend Hardie Property if you’re thinking of selling, buying or renting. A big thank you to both Richard & Bruce.

Bruce, I have no way to thank you enough for what you have done for us and continue to do for us during this transfer process.

You are a legend, a scholar, a gentleman and by far THE BEST Property Practitioner we have ever worked with bar none. I wish that we met you sooner for all the other houses we have purchased.

A heartfelt thank you once again from me and the whole family.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Linda from Hardie Property as our estate agent, and we cannot speak highly enough of her outstanding service. Linda’s dedication and efficiency throughout the process of selling our house were truly exceptional.

From the initial consultation to the final transfer, Linda demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise that set her apart from other agents we have worked with in the past. She guided us every step of the way, ensuring that everything went smoothly and efficiently.

Linda’s attention to detail, excellent communication skills, and deep knowledge of the real estate market were evident in every interaction we had with her. She went above and beyond to make sure that our needs were met and that the entire selling process was stress-free for us.

Without a doubt, Linda is the best agent we have ever worked with, and we would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell a property. Thank you, Linda, for your hard work and dedication. You truly made a difference for us, and we are grateful for all that you have done.

I must say that I highly recommend Hardie Property. Lyndsay and Linda were always friendly, helpful, professional, knowledgeable and efficient and it was an absolute pleasure to deal with them.

Lyndsay and Linda were so approachable and professional throughout. Very impressed

My husband and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Linda and Lyndsay. They really made a very stressful life event fun, efficient and enjoyable! Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication were evident from start to finish. Their communication was excellent, keeping us informed at every step of the process. They also made us laugh when we wanted to cry! I highly recommend them both and am so very grateful to them!

Linda and Lyndsay came to the rescue after months of no movement with another agency. They sold our almost unsellable apartment in no time. 10/10 would recommend.

Dear Linda and Lyndsay,

Thank you very much for the outstanding service that you provided when taking on the task of selling our home. You were considerate and concerned with our privacy throughout the process of marketing. We appreciated your regular meetings to keep us informed of the progress.
The entire process was well managed, at no time did we feel unhappy about any of the potential buyers’ viewings.

Your appreciative clients,
Peter and Jenny.

Excellent service, personal and attentive assistance and significant market insight and ability to pivot with needs! Thank you Bruce!

For 3 years, Linda has shown dedication, loyalty and client service that went above and beyond to help me find a home for my family. Thank you for your patience, deal with my nonsense and finding us the right home. My family and I are forever grateful. I can recommend Linda and Lyndsay as property agents with the highest level of integrity and who are committed to REALLY doing what is best for YOU.

Our dealings with Hardie Property, in particular Richard and his team, were professional and prompt. It was a pleasure using them to sell our property, and the transaction was concluded seamlessly.
We have no hesitation in recommending them very highly.

Richard was very responsive, helpful and pro-active!
Thank you.

Richard is a dream to deal with, he always goes above and beyond for his clients!

Richard is not only a very efficient professional, who allowed us to sell our house in record time. He also provided very good advice and helped us resolve a whole bunch of problems that can quickly become complicated when you live on the other side of the planet.
The relationship with Richard was pleasant, warm and efficient throughout the process.
Thanks again !

Amazing service! Richard and his team at Hardie Property are consummate professionals… Placed a quality tenant at my property in an extremely short turnaround time. All the best to the Hardie Property team.

Linda and Lyndsay sold my house in record time, and as an agent of many years, I have to say that dealing with them was a pleasure. Linda’s knowledge of Rosebank, as a resident and as a member of Rosebank Neighbourhood Watch, was invaluable. She was able to convey with ease how special this area is. Their energy and enthusiasm is great, their photographer outstanding, and they literally streamed buyers through, from their books, before the house was advertised, which illustrated how active they are. Highly, highly recommend them.

Dear Richard

Thank you so much for all your expertise, efforts and dedication
in recently assisting us to sell our home. It was very much appreciated.

You and your team were a joy to work with, being professional and
polite while keeping us informed of everything at every step of the way.

We would highly recommend you and your team to anyone wishing to
sell their home.

All the best,
Dieter and Susannah

I would recommend Hardie Property to anyone looking buy, sell or rent. I was assisted by Bruce Darné and he was very professional and went above and beyond to assist me with finding a property

I so appreciated the professionalism & agility of the Hardie Property team when they were involved in our property purchase. Many thanks to Richard & Ilene!

Would highly recommend Richard and his team. Very responsive and helpful, which really helped smooth out the purchase of our house. Great service.

I had the pleasure of working with Richard during the recent sale of my home.From start to finish, he was exceptional. Richard’s professionalism, attention to detail, and knowledge of the real estate market made the entire process a breeze. He always kept us informed and went above and beyond during the entire process.Richard’s exceptional negotiation skills resulted in us getting the best price possible for our home. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone looking to sell or buy a property. He truly exceeded all of our expectations and we are so grateful for his hard work and dedication. Thank you, Richard, for making our home sale a success!

So pleased that Richard worked with me to sell my apartment in Cape Town. He was extremely professional and very easy to work with. Richard knows a lot about the real estate market in Cape Town and offered great advice along the way. He worked extremely hard to get the sale for me and was always very responsive. I would not hesitate to recommend Hardie property to friends and would definitely use his services again when I next decide to purchase a property in Cape Town. A very happy customer. Thanks!!

It really all starts with attitude, and from day 1, Linda and Lindsay loved our house and the area in which it is located, and were able to promote it authentically to their buyers.
No other agents put so much effort into identifying and bringing every potential buyer to view, and it was always done with respect and friendliness. Selling a home is a stressful experience. This team gave us updates after every viewing, engaged with us to discuss next steps, and so reduced the anxiety around the process. What a pleasure to work with you both, and thank you for the sale of our home to its new ‘curators’!

Absolutely incredible service. I saw a property with Richard, told the other people there viewing it that it was MINE and they should move along (poor things), anyway, fast forward a few weeks…I was moved in and completely settled. Such a seamless process dealing with Richard and his team, and I made an awesome friend in the process! He’s awesome and he just totally gets my lame sense of humour – and yes…it’s important to get along with your realtor (not a paid review I swear 😉

Richard Hardie of Hardie Property is an exceptional estate agent that had our interest at heart from the get go. We reached out to Richard to keep an eye open for a property that was in our budget and in areas of our liking. Richard went above and beyond and found us a unique opportunity that was not even on the market, but was exactly what we where looking for. He’s honest, professional and super efficient and was a pleasure to work with.

I’ve worked with estate agents in 6 countries, both in purchasing and renting properties. Richard is by far the most professional agent I know. He’s a joy to work with and makes every effort to understand exactly what his clients need or want. At a personally stressful time in my life, Richard took all the hassle out of finding fabulous tenants for my apartment and handled the comprehensive paperwork. He’s professional, responsive and has a thorough understanding of the property market. You’re in safe hands when you work with Hardie Property.

Richard offers a unique service unlike no other I have come across. I knew I was in the right hands when I met Richard. After having my house on the market for 8 months, with a new selling strategy he sold my house within a month. He then helped to source my new property which was an effortless process. That transfer took place in less than 2 months. He is highly professional, understood my needs, understands the property market and will keep sourcing until it’s the right fit. I recommend Richard and look forward to working with him again.

We had a great experience finding our family home with Hardie Property.

Professional and effective team!

A big thank you to Hardie Property for the quick sale of my house. It was a no fuss process. Richard himself handled my viewings and was great in negotiations with the purchaser. It was really nice to have such an efficient company. You are in good hands with Hardie Property.

Hardie Property recently sold my apartment on Chapmans Peak in Hout Bay. They made it a most pleasant and professional experience. Their agent, Bruce Darné, was diligent, charming and prepared to go the extra mile – making the whole experience so easy for me as the seller, as well as for the buyers. Thank you Hardie Property for the commitment to your clients… excellent in every way!!

Richard’s drive to execute on behalf of his clients combined with his ability to prioritize goals, places him in a league of his own.

Richard is a pleasure to deal with when searching for high end properties. He is hard-working, trustworthy and reliable which is key in such a cut-throat industry.

Richard Hardie provides an exemplary service to his clients. He works closely with his clients and contacts to achieve their goals with absolute professionalism, empathy and great expertise. He is always willing to assist and is a joy to work with.

Richard provides an exceptionally professional service spread over various property related fields. I worked with him at Garrington and have done so on numerous interlinked projects since. With his exacting standards and wealth of ecperience, this continues to be a pleasure.

My company has been working with Richard for several years now. Having previously worked as a buyer’s agent himself, Richard fully understands our need to source special properties for clients. He is used to dealing with highly confidential searches and understands the need for discretion and the sensitivities involved, especially at the higher end of the property market. He is always a pleasure to deal with and his relaxed professionalism is something which our clients appreciate.

Richard is a consummate professional property man. Knowledgeable about his market, exceptional with clients – both sellers and buyers – he keeps them informed as he deftly moves the transaction to a successful conclusion. He is energetic, creative and a great enthusiast, making him one of the nicest people to do business with.

Richards network is second to none! When I planned an elite property and design event in Cape Town remotely from the UK, Richard Hardie not only joined the panel of speakers as a property expert, but also opened his very extensive black book of buyers and investors to join the event.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Richard.

I worked with Richard at Livingroom (one of the worlds most professional, progressive and forward-thinking property brands). I would very highly recommend Richard on all commercial fronts. His key strengths are: 1) he is ridiculously capable, 2) extremely detailed in his approach to work, 3) has a brilliant understanding of corporate strategy, and 4) is genuinely charming. He has a full understanding and is capable of delivering strategy at a C-Suite level, and has a highly likeable personality to boot.

I’ve known Richard for many years, where he always provided me with the fastest and most professional advise on the real estate market in South Africa. Richard is a true professional, honest, friendly and customer service focused. Richard is my number 1 contact for my own clients that are looking to buy or rent in South Africa & Globally.

Richard is a delight to work with from the client’s point of view. Knowledgeable and persuasive and good at talking clients expectations down off the ceiling and purchasers expectations up off the floor. Additionally he is selective in bringing potential purchasers to view property, focusing on quality rather than quantity.

Richard is an extraordinary estate agent. He has an innate understanding of what is needed. His professionalism, courtesy, extensive knowledge, honesty and charm are underpinned by a level of customer service and marketing skills that go above and beyond all expectations. He knows people and ensures all each clients’ wants and needs are catered for. He goes the extra mile and then some. He engenders trust and he’s a pleasure to do business with. I wholeheartedly recommended him.

Never has buying a property abroad been so easy.

As a UK resident wishing to buy a property in Cape Town I was introduced to Richard Huxham-Hardie. What a smooth and uncomplicated introduction that was with Richard off like a terrier to find me my dream. It only took a week!

From the moment I met Richard he understood exactly what I was looking for. A lock up and go property, not too small, not too big, a gentle step onto the Cape Town property market, which, if it all went wrong I could sell very easily. Richard is professional, friendly, instantly relaxes you and above all makes house hunting fun! Even my 18 year old daughter commented on what a good time we had with him and that he ticked all our boxes with the property he found us.

Always conscious of your price range and of your comfort zone and security, he thinks about where you want to be and what’s really right for you. I did not dream for one minute that I would end up in Green Point in a Penthouse with panoramic views of Cape Town – it had been Camps Bay all the way for me!

The sale was easy and uncomplicated, he introduced me to the lawyers, guided me through it all step by step and even helped me set my bank account up. He negotiated the rental on my property (fabulous) – he’s more than just an Estate Agent, I would say he is the Guru of selling property in Cape Town and around.

Richard’s approach to selling is non-invasive, he’s patient, he knows his stuff, he’s helpful, he knows Cape Town, the vibe, the food, the bargain, the market. He’s the main man and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I’m now looking forward to the next stage which is decorating my property and the “Guru” if I may call him that, has given me an introduction to a wonderful interior designer – see it’s easy – no brainer – Richard Huxham-Hardie – the One & Only choice in Cape Town.

Imagine thinking about buying a home in a new country and not knowing the first thing about how it works and everything that goes along with home ownership in South Africa. That is where my wife and I were. We knew nothing and were so nervous and overwhelmed. But then we came across Richard. He went out of his way to walk us through every portion of the home buying process, which is much different than in the United States. He laid everything out in a way that we could understand. He was a lifesaver. But it didn’t stop there, his referrals were all amazing. His professionalism, integrity and hard work were top notch. You knew he cared when we would get responses to questions early in the morning or late at night. And being a foreign buyer (many thousands of miles away) with a lot of questions, this made the difference. We can honestly say, that Richard saved us in this process. His constant communication and support were 1st rate.
I would highly recommend Richard to any foreign buyer looking to buy a home in Cape Town.

Sincerely,
