Why 1.5% Commission Is Changing The Conversation For South African Property Sellers

Press Release
OnePointFive Challenges Traditional Commission Models in South African Real Estate
Cape Town, South Africa
OnePointFive is challenging traditional commission models in South African real estate with a premium full-service offering at a fixed 1.5% commission plus VAT. The model addresses a central concern for property sellers: how to retain more value from a sale while still receiving professional guidance, structured support, and visibility throughout the transaction.

Positioned as a transparent challenger in the South African property market, OnePointFive places commission clarity and personal service at the centre of the selling experience.
Its approach combines face-to-face property expertise with a technology-supported process, giving sellers a clearer and more transparent way to navigate one of their most significant financial decisions.
Why Commission Transparency Matters
Commission has a direct impact on the final outcome of a property sale. For many sellers, the question is not only what percentage they will pay, but whether the fee is clearly defined from the outset and aligned with the level of service being delivered.
OnePointFive believes sellers should be able to assess commission, marketing, support, and transaction management with greater clarity before appointing a Real Estate Agent. This reflects a broader shift in the South African property market, where sellers are increasingly comparing traditional commission models against more transparent alternatives.

Premium Service At A Fixed 1.5% Commission
Clear Fees, Professional Support, And Seller-Focused Value
OnePointFive offers a premium property selling service at a fixed 1.5% commission plus VAT. The fixed commission structure provides sellers with certainty from the beginning of the process, without compromising on service quality or professional support.
The brand’s value proposition is built around delivering premium service at a clearly defined rate. Sellers receive professional marketing, personal guidance, and structured support from appraisal through to final transfer, while the commission remains transparent throughout.
For sellers comparing fixed commission models with more traditional commission structures, the key distinction lies in clarity. OnePointFive offers a model where the financial terms are straightforward and the service remains professional, personal, and seller-focused.
Personal Support Remains Central
In-Person Guidance First, Technology In Support
OnePointFive focuses primarily on in-person, face-to-face service. The company recognises that selling a property is often both a significant financial transaction and an emotional decision, and many sellers value direct professional involvement throughout the process.
Technology enhances the selling experience by improving visibility and transparency, but it does not replace personal support. For sellers who prefer a more technology-supported approach, the platform provides an additional layer of insight and convenience throughout the transaction.

A Structured Selling Journey
From Property Appraisal To Final Registration
The OnePointFive service is designed around the key stages that shape a successful property sale. The process provides sellers with professional guidance before listing, support during buyer engagement, and continued visibility after an Offer to Purchase has been signed.
The service includes:
- Property appraisals and market positioning guidance.
- Professional marketing, including photography, videography, and listing support.
- Offer to Purchase assistance and transfer process visibility through to final registration.
- A technology-supported platform for sellers who prefer a more digital experience.
This structure reflects the company’s view that commission transparency is important, but so is the quality and consistency of the process behind it. Sellers can learn more about the structured selling experience available through OnePointFive.
