ABOUT

Chas Everitt International property group is proud to announce that global relocations expert Leana Nel has joined our group to assist our property buyers and sellers who wish to physically relocate from one country to another or wish to acquire an overseas property for investment, holiday, business or residency purposes.

Leana has more than 24 years of experience in facilitating international property referrals, purchases and relocations both to and from SA. She has exhibited South African property in the UK, The Netherlands, Germany, Russia and China and facilitated immigration seminars in these countries. She has also assisted scores of SA families to relocate, retire and invest in other countries.

Through our group, property buyers and sellers in SA will now be able to access Leana’s vast knowledge of the educational, financial and personal qualifications required for various work permits and visa types in SA and many other countries, as well as a comprehensive range of expert relocation services from orientation tours and pet removals to school enrolments, medical assistance and home furnishing.

At the same time, Leana is interacting and co-operating with other companies that belong to the Luxury Portfolio International© (LPI) network around the world to enable our agents to maximise the referral opportunities inherent in this network and gain broader exposure to the correct international audiences for the luxury SA real estate that they are marketing.

Chas Everitt International has been part of the LPI network and of its parent organisation Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® since 2016, and we have already established a reputation among our global peers for excellence in marketing the LPI brand and for several real estate business innovations. Leana will now be building on this foundation to present SA to specific LPI brokerages and their high-net worth clients and raise its profile as a leading luxury property destination.   

At the same time, these connections will enable us to provide the most informed and efficient service to South Africans who wish to gain residency by investment in countries such as Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Mauritius, Malta, Grenada and the US. These “Golden Visa” programmes can be daunting, but through our fellow LPI members, applicants will quickly be able to find suitable real estate to buy and have the assurance that their transactions comply fully with all local legalities.
