About Acutts…
The Acutts name is synonymous with property and success that dates back more than 150 years.
It is the surname of one of Durban’s most illustrious families, a family that has through the generations, contributed significantly to the development of the city and now the country.
It is also one of South Africa’s top 10 real estate franchise groups, a major industry role player started by Robert Acutt in 1851 as R Acutt & Sons, Land Auctioneers and Real Estate Agents.
Today, Acutts Estate Agents is a multi-faceted national entity. It comprises more than 150 franchises and outlets around South Africa, and offers a full range of real estate services, from residential sales and letting, new developments, and commercial and industrial to farms and vacant land, leisure and investments.
Acutts’ achievements are plentiful. Amongst the most recent is its tie-up with Bond Choice, one of the country’s “Big Three” mortgage originators.
The group has also set the standard for black economic empowerment in the industry by being party to both the creation and sponsorship of Acutts’ BEE initiative, Sky Properties, which closely parallels the Acutts real estate business model. In the space of just over a year, Sky is operating successfully from 18 franchise offices, with enquiries for many more pending.
One of the proponents of standardized professional training for agents, Acutts established the Acutts National Training Academy way ahead of competitors early in 2003. The first countrywide Seta-registered training provider to be registered and accredited as a provider of the Registered Real Estate Unit Standards aligned to the FET Certificate in Real Estate, the Academy and its various regional subsidiaries, under the directorship of renowned real estate trainer Lindsay Gartrell, is yet another example of the winning vision of its leadership.
In addition, Acutts is at the forefront of real estate technology in South Africa under the directorship of Clayton Roberts, constantly upgrading its personalized, cutting-edge software in order to ensure heightened efficiency for both staff members and clients. This “in house” technology, known as REALMS (Real Estate Listing Management System) is a vital tool for success in property today, allowing Acutts franchises to maximize their market presence on the Acutts website and Internet at large, in keeping with global trends and ahead of normal standards.
Acutts are proud to be market leaders in the new concept of Professional Property Presentation in South Africa. This includes Acutts Professional Touch, a free service to Acutts’ sole mandate sellers. Driven by Acutts National Marketing Manager Glynnis Dirksen, APT includes the services of a professional stylist to highlight selling features.
Acutts is also a national member of NRN, the country’s largest independent property referral network. This has allowed Acutts franchises to further expand their service offerings to clients on the move, whether nationally or internationally.
Acutts currently employs over 650 people, all members of the dynamic property giant known for its professionalism, personalised service and proud tradition of always aiming to be “A cut above the rest“.
