A small agency that does big things.
Advanced Real Estate has been selling and buying homes in Port Elizabeth since 2014. We're not a franchise. We're not a call centre. We're a tight team that knows every street in Walmer, Fairview, Mill Park, and Summerstrand.
Built on referrals, not billboards.
Ratanang Maremane founded Advanced Real Estate in 2014 after a decade in the industry. The frustration was always the same: large agencies treating sellers as a number, buyers as leads, and agents as commission machines.
The model here is different. A small team, a defined geography, and a commitment to honest advice. If a property is overpriced, we say so. If a neighbourhood is declining, we say so. Clients come back — and they send their friends.
280+ transactions later, the approach hasn't changed. We sell homes in Walmer, Fairview, Mill Park, and Summerstrand. We know the streets, the schools, the HOAs, and the neighbours. That knowledge is what we sell.
Three non-negotiables.
Transparency
Every listing shows the real price. Every valuation shows the real market. No 'POA'. No inflated mandates to win the listing.
Local knowledge
We operate in four suburbs. That's it. We know every street, every school, every HOA, and every neighbour. Depth over breadth.
Direct access
You deal with Ratanang directly. Not an assistant, not a junior agent. The person who knows your property is the person who answers your call.
Ratanang Maremane.
Principal agent. NQF4-certified, FFC #2026/04417. Born in Korsten, raised in Walmer, has been selling homes in Port Elizabeth since 2014.
"I'd rather lose a listing than over-price it. Homes that sit on the market for 90 days lose between 4 and 9% of their value. I'd rather have an honest conversation on day one than apologise on day ninety."
In their own words.
We'd had two agents before Ratanang and neither got us past 'qualified interest'. They walked the house with us, told us bluntly which two rooms to repaint, listed at a number we believed in, and we accepted an offer 14 days later — over asking. No theatre, just work.
No spam, no inbox clutter.
Just WhatsApp.
Two read-only channels we run ourselves. Mute or leave anytime — we never see your number unless you message us first.
