The Ubuntu Agent

Real estate with real impact. Your property transaction can make a difference through charitable giving.

Welcome to The Ubuntu Agent

With 10 years of experience in Johannesburg real estate, I combine professional service with the Ubuntu philosophy - "I am because we are." Through my giving program, 5% of my commission (10% if capped) goes to local charities.

Specialising in residential sales and rentals in Fourways, Dainfern, North Riding, and Midrand, I'm here to help you navigate the property market while making a positive impact on our community.

How It Works

Current Charitable Activities

The Ubuntu philosophy teaches us that our humanity is tied together. I'm currently supporting organisations like Four Paws, CHOC, and Breadline through my real estate transactions, with plans to expand partnerships.

When you buy or sell a home with me, you can direct 5% of my commission (10% if capped) to one of these charities or suggest another cause that resonates with you.

Client Feedback

What Our Clients Say

Real experiences from homeowners who have worked with The Ubuntu Agent.

"Gary took over the sale of my house when the previous agent who had a sole mandate could not bring a single person through to view the place over a 6 month period. The previous estate agent went as far as to tell me that I needed to drop the price and that in this market there was no way this house would be sold. Gary contacted me and he brought in immediate energy and exuberance that lacked in other agents. Within 2 days he started to bring through potential buyers. We managed to find a buyer within 2 months and he managed to get our asking price. Gary was understanding, vibrant and had an amazing 'can do' attitude."
