Nobody knows Harfield like Norgarb
Selling a house from overseas could have been a daunting task. I am so happy with our decision to give Norgarb Properties Sole Mandate on the sale of our family home.

Good, old-fashioned
I have worked closely with Lew Norgarb and his team over the past 10 years and can highly recommend them.

Well thought out marketing plan that works
I immediately felt comfortable entrusting the sale of our property to Lew!

A fun and memorable experience
We bought our first house through Norgarb properties and they made the experience a fun and memorable one for us!

Lew Norgarb, the best man for the job
It was obvious at our initial meeting that Lew was fully aware of the current market values in Harfield Village and launched my cottage at a realistic price.

Highly professional and efficient
Thank you very sincerely for the highly professional and efficient manner in which you managed the sale.

Professional & knowledgeable
Thank you for all your help and assistance with my property. Your professionalism, and knowledge of your field is outstanding. You made this whole exercise painless and explained everything to me in a concise and clear manner. I will have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone I know who is also planning on selling their property. Kind Regards Valerie Keuning

Brilliantly ethical
Buying a property can be both an exciting and terrifying experience. Working with Lew during this time was effortless due to his professionalism and care. An exceptional moment was when we found a leak in the roof. Lew’s response (and that of the seller) was nothing sort of brilliantly ethical. One is only left wishing that some of our politicians had the same ethical conduct!

A Harfield Village Specialist
Choosing an estate agent to sell for you in Harfield Village is not difficult. Look for one who has a busy track record, resides in the Village and is readily available to assist at every step.

The welfare of Harfield Village at heart
Having both purchased and sold a property in Harfield Village in recent years I cannot fault the service provided by Lew from Norgarb Properties. He really had to go the extra mile when things started going wrong when I purchased my cottage, but he persevered until all had been resolved to my satisfaction. When after 3 years it was time to sell I immediately contacted Lew and within in no time he presented me with a full asking price offer. I would not hesitate to recommend Lew for sales in the Claremont area. He is very professional, has a track record in the area and has the welfare of Harfield Village at heart.

A glowing Testimonial for Lew and Norgarb Properties
I was delighted to experience the professional and friendly service that Lew Norgarb provided during my recent purchase of a 2-bed cottage in Harfield Village. Lew is a well-known figure in the village, and as a result he has a genuine enthusiasm for ensuring that both buyer and seller are happy throughout the whole process.

Thanks for caring
Just a brief note to thank you for all you help over the past few weeks in respect of purchasing the property in Victoria Green. Your attention to detail and speedy response to ALL my never ending questions, has been brilliant. I have never purchased a property in SA before and you have guided me wonderfully throughout this procedure, nothing has been too much trouble.

Excellent service and great advice
Thank you so much for the always excellent service we received from you during the sale of our house. Your great advice, support, guidance and patience made all the difference to us and things surely would not have gone so perfectly without you.

A Pad for our Extended Family
Lew is passionate about what he does and his knowledge and involvement in the local community has made Harfield Village come alive for us.
16 Oct 2018
Efficient & Helpful
It's quite unreal that it's almost a year since we moved into our little home in Surrey Street that you so wonderfully helped us purchase. We love it in the village and the fact that we also know our immediate neighbours.
16 Oct 2018
Faith Restored
Due to previous bad experiences in dealing with other estate agents, when I first asked Lew to sell my house I warned him that we would probably have a few arguments along the way. However, this was certainly not the case with Lew.

Service Excellence from Andre
I want to thank Andre for his complete professionalism and enthusiasm in securing me my home.
15 Oct 2018
A Phenomenal Sale!!!
I searched, I looked, I asked, and I applied my mind to this question, "How will I choose an estate agent to sell MY home?" Friends recommended, neighbours recommended, but no-one had concrete evidence who was better for me. A nice person, a big brand, national presence etc wasn't going to convince me. Of course, everybody's got an opinion (to volunteer). Opinions are cheap like that. This wasn't a cheap thing to me. This was my biggest asset actually. My house! No, I felt I needed more.

Happy Seller (2nd Avenue, Harfield Village)
Thank you Lew and team for a really great service. I knew at all times I was in good hands, and really appreciated the time taken to explain certain aspects throughout the process. Lew was so helpful and highly professional. Thanks again for your support through what wasn't an easy decision or time for me. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services in the future.
15 Oct 2018
We love our house
We are moving from the Eastern Cape to Cape Town and first met Lew when he welcomed us into his offices while we were reading his notice board. We do not have a great affinity to estate agents in general, as we have had some not- so-good experiences, so we approached Lew with caution.

First time buyer - Kenilworth
As a first time buyer, Lew and Norgarb Properties were great. From taking the time to explain the process and keeping me well informed along the way, organising for me to get access to view the property again before transfer, and answering all of my sometimes possibly silly questions they helped make the experience as stress-free as possible. They really made me feel welcome in the area and have continued to provide advice and support even though the transfer has gone through and I am happily settled in my new home.

Top Service from Norgarb!
It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with Norgarb Properties for the sale of my beloved home! Lew Norgarb has been professional at all times in all our dealings. My home was sold within 3 days from hitting the market - and at full asking price!

Bought twice and sold once
Transparency is a quality I value very much, and this seems to be the motto by which Lyn and Lew live by. Being young and new to the property market, my boyfriend and I really appreciated all Norgarb's help in finding our first home. It was a scary and intimidating decision but Lyn and Lew made us both feel completely at ease by explaining everything to us in detail and always keeping us informed as to what was happening and what the next process was. We had a running joke during the purchase process of needing to explain things in "storm language" so that I could understand how everything works.

Mayfair Court, Baronrath Street
As first time buyers, Lew and his team were phenomenal in their dealings with us. Purchasing a home is a big step and requires some hand holding. We feel that each step of the way, Lew and Anne-Marie were in our corner, guiding us and ready to answer any questions we may have had. Thank you for your support and making this process a pleasant experience, we are ecstatic with our new home! Kind regards, Mike Jackson and Andrea Cooper

First Choice
Selling, a necessary but often tiresome experience....so Andre, to find an agent like you was a wonder and breath of fresh air! I really appreciate that you always kept me updated, with a constant flow of information without me having to ask. Always timeous for appointments (a biggie for me), and getting involved in so many aspects of the transactions that I know for a fact many other agents do not do. After selling 3 properties for me, your integrity is unquestionable, and with your amazing energy and enthusiasm, definitely my first choice when I sell again! Jeanette Martincich

STBB Smith Tabata Buchanan Boyes, Claremont
We at STBB Smith Tabata Buchanan Boyes, Claremont, have had the pleasure of dealing with Lew and his team at Norgarb Properties for the past 4 years. Lew Norgarb exudes true professionalism and a genuine passion for the property industry. The same can be said about his administrative staff and sales agents. It is always a pleasure for us to be called upon to assist with the transfer and bond procedures as we know that we can rely on Norgarb's co-operation and attention to detail required in the conveyancing process.

Kenilworth (The Village Complex)
Thanks for the great mail, Lew. Nope, not related to Kelly at all - but the plot thickens, I actually visited Rouge yesterday for the very first time! Lyn was an enormous help today - so quick and efficient, I barely put the phone down and the valuation came through! Not that I expected anything less from Norgarb, you guys are seriously tops. It was a pleasure dealing with you back in 2010 with buying the house, and it's been absolutely wonderful living here. Very sad to be leaving... but have informed my brother that I'm keeping my set of keys and expect the guest room to always be available for me. so I'll more than likely run into you at Home Bar or Banana Jam at some future point.

Great Integrity
You have gone out of your way to help the Copley Family. Your motivation was clearly not one of financial gain. It shows the great integrity you bring into the real estate arena.

Excited about Wesley Road
We are Norgarb's biggest fans. You guys have always gone above and beyond for us and we are really grateful for that. Storm Wilkinson

A big Thank You
I just wanted to say a big thank you to Lyn Staples for all the time and effort you have put into selling our house. I know it wasn't an easy job and we were stubborn at times. However, you continued to remain professional and positive and continued to make us feel comfortable and supported. We felt we could trust all your advice and that you had our best interests at heart.
15 Oct 2018
A pleasure working with you
Dear Lew Thank you so much for your assistance in selling my house. It has been a great pleasure working with you and I appreciate not only your efficiency and on-the-ball approach, but also the great integrity that you show in your business dealings. That's something that can't be bought or learned, and it's a greater asset than many businesses realise. Kind regards Fiona (Seller in Wesley Street)
15 Oct 2018
Echo of Sentiments
Dear Lew and Fiona Lew, I can only echo Fiona's sentiments in terms of dealing with you - it has been an absolute pleasure and I will certainly recommend Norgarb Properties to anyone looking to buy or sell. You have been professional from start to finish. Regards Nathalie (Purchaser in Wesley Street)
15 Oct 2018
Dynamic Approach
Dear Lew I am not only in awe of your advertising my house on the front page of the Argus property supplement - but the way in which you sold my property within one week, for the asking price and to a cash buyer. Your dynamic approach has made it a relatively painless process for me and for that I am grateful. Yours sincerely Pat Gibbons

Area specialist Lew Norgarb, delivers
We are so happy we used the area specialist Lew Norgarb to sell our house in Harfield, he more than delivered! Our house was sold literally in one day and we had more than one offer over asking price! Lew's dedication and hard work on our property getting all the marketing material done overnight and getting the right buyers through the property was indeed impressive. Not only was he amazing at getting our house sold really quickly he was also incredibly helpful in giving advice on the purchase of our new house. I really enjoyed the personalised service and the excellent professionalism with which Norgarb properties conducts their business. I would highly recommend them to anyone selling or buying a property!
15 Oct 2018
Thank you for your help
Dear Lyn, Just to say thanks so much for all your kind help and empathy in assisting me in the purchase of my new home. You kept in constant contact with me regarding the sale, and I found your knowledge and experience to be most valuable. There is no doubt that I will recommend you and your Company, Norgarb Properties, should I ever get the opportunity to do so.

Lew provided excellent service and expertise especially during negotiation with buyers. He listened carefully to what I wanted and as a result, he was able to sell our house for above the asking price which was very fair market value! Pauline Orr
