Lance Real Estate

Introduction Blog

It is with great pleasure that today we announce that Lance Real Estate is open for business – again.

35 years ago, Lance started his career in residential property and quickly grew it to become the leading agency in the North-Eastern suburbs of Johannesburg. In 1996 he decided to broaden his horizons and moved to Cape Town.

Arriving as he did, 23 years ago, he was someone unknown to the local community. Within a short period of time, Camps Bay beachgoers found themselves driving past roadside billboards advertising properties for sale by Lance Real Estate, or sitting under Lance Real Estate umbrellas. Word quickly spread that there was a new guy in town.

Lance Cohen began to build a name for himself as an area specialist covering the Atlantic Seaboard. And what an area specialist he turned out to be, becoming a real thorn in the side of the established estate agency brands. Brands which had for decades dominated these suburbs in terms of property sales and lets.

It came as no surprise that one such brand approached Lance with a proposal to join them. After negotiating favourable terms, which included retaining rights to the Lance Real Estate brand, he accepted.

In the years Lance spent with them he won their Regional “Agent of the Year” Award – 10 years in a row!
He also went on to win the National “Agent of the Year Award” and the “Highest Turnover of the Year Award”, for 9 successive years.

To crown his phenomenal achievements, he was also awarded the privileged “Chairman’s Award” on two occasions.
Such consistent achievements were unheard of in the company’s 50-year history, made even more remarkable as he was constrained to just three suburbs; Clifton, Bantry Bay and Fresnaye.

Times change and people move on.

At the end of 2019, Lance decided to close a happy chapter with the company and rekindle his entrepreneurial flame by re-launching his Lance Real Estate brand, characterised by the familiar knight – with a lance in his hand – mounted on a rearing horse.

No longer constrained to any area, Lance Real Estate now covers the entire Atlantic Seaboard, specialising in house and apartment sales as well as long- and short-term rentals.
“I am delighted to once again be of service to the broader Atlantic Seaboard community. It is a market that I know intimately, and where I have made many genuine and long-lasting friendships with property owners over the last 23 years.
I have been able to thrive here because Capetonians appreciate a friendly customer service ethic, in- depth local market knowledge and the ability to get the deal done. I have been extremely privileged and humbled by their trust and support.

Further afield, I have managed to forge international partnerships with leading agencies in Malta, Cyprus and Portugal. These partnerships allow us to offer Golden Visa opportunities in Portugal, and immediate residence and citizenship in Malta and Cyprus for South African buyers.
I have recently returned from Mauritius and am delighted to announce that we have secured rights to some delightful properties and new developments. These comply with the Integrated Resort Scheme initiative of the Mauritian government to facilitate the acquisition of property by foreigners. Through this scheme, foreigners can become Mauritian residents.”

Lance Real Estate is based in Fresnaye, Cape Town and covers the Atlantic Seaboard from the Waterfront to Camps Bay. With over 23 years’ experience in the most sought-after residential areas in Africa, Lance Real Estate has sold over R 1 billion worth of properties in the last 3 years.

It is this hands-on knowledge which sets Lance Real Estate apart from our competition. We have built an extensive database of buyers and sellers over the last 2 decades who have grown to trust our market knowledge and depend on us to negotiate the best possible deal in any property negotiation.

We are now extending our reach and taking on houses and apartments for sale from the Waterfront through to Camps Bay.
