Why Gmaven

Commercial property, made simple.

We are commercial property experts, here to make commercial property simple. Properties are unique, and listed once. Unlike others, we don't duplicate information. This is not residential: one property can house many units, so unlike most portals, we place units inside properties.

What you may not know about commercial property

One building, many spaces

Unlike residential, one building holds many separate spaces, and several are often empty at the same time. We show the building once, with its spaces stored inside it. Housing portals list each space on its own, so the same building appears many times.

The whole market, from one place

In commercial property, vacant space is effectively open, so one good source shows you the whole market, while with housing you chase many agents. In South Africa, pretty much all of the time, there are no exclusive mandates for commercial leasing space.

Who works for whom

Please respect the time of commercial property advisers: they do not earn salaries, and work on risk. A broker is paid by the landlord for bringing them the deal. A CRES adviser, your tenant representative, can be paid by you or by the landlord, subject to negotiation. An owner you deal with directly may have an internal team that earns a fee on a successful transaction.

Knowing this, we let you choose who represents you, make the introduction either way, and let you give feedback. More on broker commission on lease deals →
