AI Review Summary
Based on recent customer reviews, Chas Everitt International Property is facing significant dissatisfaction across both rental and sales transactions. Customers consistently mention poor communication, delayed or withheld deposit refunds, and a perceived lack of accountability from agents and management. A recurring theme is concern around contract handling, with buyers reporting flawed offer documents and pressure tactics. Tenants describe unresolved maintenance issues, escalating levies, and unexplained charges upon vacating. Several reviewers note that agents become unresponsive once issues arise, leaving clients feeling dismissed and financially disadvantaged during what should be straightforward property dealings.

Chas Everitt staff refuses to refund me!
A house was advertised by agent Bradley Edwin in 2023 in Shallcross, Queensburgh. I viewed the property with the owner and your agent. The agreement was that the owner would take monthly instalments from me to purchase the property but I needed to fix the pool. Bradley then stated he fixes pools and does pool maintenance. I paid Bradley into his bank account of which I still have proof of. The owner then decided he wanted extra of the monthly instalments towards the sale of the house to which I declined. I did not purchase the property but Bradley was paid R6970.00 for the pool repairs. When I contacted Bradley he said he would pay back the funds however gave excuses upon excuses. To date, I have not received my refund from Bradley. He ignores my messages and refuses to take my calls. It is now almost 3 years and nothing. Is Chas Everitt aware of what your staff does apart from marketing properties for you? This is your representative that refuses to refund me. We are all trying to feed our families, let's do it with some honesty atleast. Even if he made monthly payments as he initially said he would do I would not have had a problem. But it has been 3 years now. I cannot wait anymore. Unfortunately this is what it takes for me to get a reply and hopefully my money back!

Chas Everitt don’t protect their tenants
I am sharing my experience in the hope that it helps others make informed decisions. I was asked to vacate the property after six months, despite my three-legged pit bull having been approved at the start of my lease. I was informed that potential tenants for the main house were allegedly uncomfortable with the dog. Although I did not agree with this reasoning, I chose to comply, as the property itself was in a poor and deteriorating condition, including damaged boundary walls. Upon vacating, I completed the outgoing inspection with the agent from Chas Everitt International Property Group and was under the impression that my deposit would be refunded in full. However, I have since been informed by the landlady, Jennifer Harmsworth, that a portion of my deposit will be withheld for alleged damage to a boundary wall located on a separate part of the property that is not included in my lease and to which I had no access. I have not been provided with evidence linking me or my dog to this damage, and I dispute this claim. I have raised this matter with the managing agent, but have been advised that the deposit is held by the landlady and that there is little they can do to intervene. Additionally, I have since been contacted by previous tenants of the main house who have indicated that they are experiencing similar difficulties in recovering their deposit. This has been a very stressful experience, and I would strongly encourage prospective tenants to ensure that all terms, conditions, and responsibilities are clearly defined and documented before entering into a lease agreement. If anyone has advice on how to proceed with a deposit dispute, it would be greatly appreciated.

********* Service Chas Everitt Glenvista
I have never experienced such a disappointing level of service from Chas Everitt International Property Group. In my experience, the conduct of certain agents involved in our transaction was highly unprofessional and raised serious ethical concerns. A shared mandate appeared to be treated as secondary to personal gain, with repeated delays, unexplained unavailability, and poor communication throughout the process. There were instances where offers were allegedly submitted without transparency, and communication between agents and sellers seemed inconsistent and misleading. This created unnecessary frustration and mistrust during what should have been a straightforward property transaction. Estate agents represent their brand, and unfortunately, this experience reflects very poorly on the company as a whole. I would strongly caution prospective buyers and sellers to ensure full transparency and clear communication when dealing with this agency.

Cant be trusted with personal information
Please be aware of this group. I have requested for my personal information to be completely deleted from their system and retrieved from anyone they have shared it with and written proof of such. Whist I am aware of the protection document signed it is still my right to request the destruction of my information and proper written confirmation thereof. The lady was blatantly not willing to comply. Why is this group not willing to comply with the law…what are they doing with our information? The way she was dismissive about my request makes me wonder if we are safe giving our information to this company!

**** PROPERTY AGENT
If there was a Zero I would rate that In December 2022, I met Mr. Vuyisile working for CHAS EVERITT at the Forestview complex while he was in the process of leasing my neighbour’s house, unit 23. During our brief conversation, we discussed the possibility of leasing my house in unit 24. On December 14th at 15:04, I received a text message from Mr. Vuyisile stating: "Hi Lindy, Vuyi from Chas Everitt. When is the earliest you would like to vacate your place? I have some enquiries already." I rep****, "Let me answer you later." On December 20th, 2022, he followed up with another message: "Hi there, hope you are well. You seem to be very busy. Please let me know when you can chat about your place, thanks." I acknowledged that I had not responded as promised, and I rep**** that we could discuss the matter after 16:00, asking him to call me then. On January 24th, 2023, Mr. Vuyisile requested the following documents: a copy of my ID (stating a picture would suffice), proof of banking details, a levies statement, and COJ statements. He also requested my email address. On January 26th, 2023, Mr. Vuyisile informed me: "Morning, I am listing your house for R1,100,000. I want to see the response." On January 25th, 2023, due to my daughter’s hospitalization, I was unable to manage the move personally. Mr. Vuyisile required me to vacate the house as new tenants were scheduled to move in. Consequently, I arranged for my brother and nephew to drive from Mafikeng to Johannesburg in my father’s bakkie to move my belongings back to Mafikeng. Given the volume of items, I also traveled to Johannesburg to assist. Mr. Vuyisile helped by packing the remaining items in his car and driving with me to my sister’s house. After this, the new tenants moved in. About a month after moving in, I received a call from a representative at Chas Everitt, a very decent white lady, who inquired if everything was satisfactory and if they could assist me further. I expressed my interest in a free-standing house, and she informed me they had a similar property available in Midrand. She promised to work on it and revert to me. In the first two months, I noticed my levies were escalating. I contacted the representative, and he assured me it was nothing to worry about and that he would take care of it. Trusting his word, I even gave him my login details for my levies to monitor them without having to request updates. By September, I noticed an exorbitant levy amounting to R16,000. Upon confronting him, he reassured me that he would handle it and provide proof of payment soon, but it became increasingly difficult to reach him. The following month, my tenants contacted me, requesting a meeting. They expressed their desire to stay due to the safe environment for their children, despite financial difficulties and dissatisfaction with the representative's unfulfilled promises, which led them to terminate the contract early. Consequently, I had to cover the December bond and levies from my own pocket, unplanned. Mr. Vuyi promised to compensate by securing tenants for January, which he did, ensuring the rent was directly deposited into my bank account and also managing my property. Subsequently, my levies continued to escalate, causing significant stress and even leading to depression and hospitalization. When I informed him about my deteriorating health, he stopped responding to my calls. In January, with levies reaching R23,273.86, I made a payment of R6,000, but the high-interest rates persisted. Despite receiving letters of demand from Property Specialists, I could not contact him for months. On the rare occasion he answered, he claimed to be in a meeting and promised to call back, which never happened. Eventually, after the sheriffs from Chas Everitt delivered a letter from their attorneys, he called to inquire about the remaining balance and mentioned making payments. We had a meeting with the Owner MR Berry Everitt who disappeared on me as well and non of his workers answers my calls or messages to this day after they promised to pay me , PLEASE HELP ME.

Not Doing me a Favour
Many of us professionals have properties in provinces where we are not staying in. This makes an agent necessary. But the services we receive are often not satisfactory. I have been with Chas Everitt for over 3 years now. But I am not happy with Chas Everitt communication and payment turnaround times. What makes it worse is that when I raise issues related to finances I get ignored, sometimes a delayed response from the finance lady. It’s almost as if they select which of my emails to respond to or which to treat as urgent. And when I discuss, money, which is the very reason we have a relationship in the first place, they don’t take it as urgent. Whereas the property , to me is a business. Theres been three incidences: The first one was I noticed the rental always delays when it’s a public holiday. I got the most unpleasant response when I enquired about this, as the agents told me they have a lot on their plate, and they only do payments on a particular day. Basically there is nothing they can do about it. This was despite me raising valid points about the inconvenience that is caused on my side when this happens. next the very same tenant moved out before the end of the term. Now there are many players that come in from the agent side. There’s the lady who looks for tenants, someone else who deals with the lease, someone you talk to about payments and the finance person whose responsible for making payments into your account once the tenants have paid. With all these people, the ball was dropped the unit was left vacant for two months. Then in classic Chas Everit style I was left in the dark about the process, only getting responses and explanations after literally begging for them. Which finally led to me loosing not only rental income for two months but Chas Everrit paid themselves 60% of whatever was left after calculations. When I queried this and was referred to a clause that doesn’t justify because this occurrence was not my fault. I then reached out to other agents because I am sick of being treated like people are doing me a favour. Chas seemed to continue with business as usual not minding my complaints nor my misery. For some reason they (Chas) they managed to secure a tenant, before the other agents. But this time I decided to go the procurement route. now that we are here, I have signed all their forms in order to avoid further loss from my side, yet Chas being have been slow, evasive dismissive and have delayed the payment again. The tenant had already paid everything to them before the 12th November and then moved in on Friday 14th . However, they still haven’t made the payment in my account. When I enquired with the leasing lady she casually told me the issue is the differences in our banks. But I am an existing client and they have had the payment for over a week. My question is why Chas Everitt are so lazy when it comes to paying their clients when they clearly want our business? That is unacceptable. Finally, I am only still dealing with them because of the existence of a tenant and not because I am happy with the services because that is not the case.

Shocking Service from Chas Everitt Randpark Ridge - Deposit stripped and not returned
Our experience with Chas Everitt started off well, but quickly deteriorated once we gave notice to vacate the property. From that point on, it felt like every opportunity was used to extract additional costs from us. We were charged an unfair cancellation penalty, despite sourcing a replacement tenant ourselves—resulting in no loss of rental income. We were also billed incorrectly for electricity, and asked to cover unnecessary painting costs after only six months of occupation. This, despite the fact that we had filled, sanded, and touched up all areas using the exact paint they recommended. To make matters worse, 27 days after vacating, we still haven’t received our deposit—or even the reduced amount they claim is due. Communication has been poor throughout; I only received updates when I followed up myself. Otherwise, it seems they were content to delay and hold onto our money. Shocking service and a deeply disappointing end to what could have been a positive rental experience.
