WE ARE A SMALL BIG BUSINESS

Bonnin’s Estates is a third-generation family business that has been an established force in the Real Estate Industry for over 50 years. We pride ourselves in being a niche, boutique company that always brings our historical knowledge of the property market into the ever-changing present world.

Bonnin’s also has numerous subsidiary companies that further grows our ties in the greater network.

Although the selling of property will always be the main banner of our business, we constantly grow our brand to be multi-faceted. We work with teams across various career disciplines such as Architects, Civil Engineers, Surveyors, Builders, Conveyancing Attorneys, and Town Planners, in order to build a deeper knowledge and richer portfolio. We manage Body Corporates, represent various Trusts and Companies, have a hand in Industrial and Agricultural Developments, and do business beyond the borders of South Africa, bringing the international market to your doorstep. We are not a corporation.

We are adaptable, relevant and our longevity has allowed us to witness every cycle in South Africa’s property history forming our holistic approach to this industry.

Bonnin’s Estates can offer our clients a premium service that provides only the best in the buying, selling, managing, or renting of property. We are not a franchise.  

WELCOME TO OUR GREATER FAMILY.

Our Team. A LEGACY BUILT ON TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY

I have known Diane for over 20 years as friends with her family and I had not had the opportunity to work with her in her capacity as a top estate agent with Bonnins Estate Agents until September 2018 when I was in Umdloti winding up a clients deceased estate. I saw how Umdloti was taking off and asked Diane to find me a flat (which with her usual efficiency)she sourced a flat in South Beach Road which I immediately purchased on her guidance. I would without hesitation work with Diane in any property transactions going forward given her professional and solid service. I would recommend Diane’s sales and property transaction skills to anyone in the market to purchase property.’

Good morning Eileen Compliments of the New Season !!! I’m sorry I have not yet sent you pictures for my new home. I will be sending you these shortly. I would like to thank you for the excellent and superb service you provided me in the process of buying this property, starting from the time when I called Tina about viewing the property, to the time Jean-Robert facilitated the signing of the Sale Agreement, and your (Eileen) continuous update on the developments around the registration process. Your always willingness to assist as Bonnins Property made the buying process so much easier. Keep it up!
