5 THINGS YOU (PROBABLY) DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT WAKEFIELDS

5 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Wakefields

Sure, you've seen the signs, met the agents, maybe even bought your dream home with us. But there's a little more to Wakefields than meets the 'For Sale' board. Here are five things you might not know about us...and why they matter.

1. We've Been Around Longer Than Most People's Houses.
Founded in 1939, Wakefields has been helping families buy and sell homes for over 85 years. We've weathered the market's ups and downs and stood the test of time - with some agents having sold homes to three generations of the same family. Longevity isn't just a milestone; it's a mark of trust.

2. We're Not a Franchise. And Proud of It.
Wakefields is still 100% family-owned and proudly independent. That means we're not following head office scripts; we're writing our own story. Our leadership is personal, our values are local, and our decisions are made with integrity and intention. We call it the Wakefields Way.

3. Our Longest-Serving Agent Has Been With Us for Over 40 Years.
That's not a typo. We've got team members who've built entire careers with us, and they're not going anywhere. Their loyalty, expertise, and dedication speak volumes, and reflect the kind of work environment we've created (one with staying power).

4. We Don't Just Sell Homes. We Build Futures
Our agents aren't just here to close deals. They're mentored, supported, and encouraged to grow, personally and professionally. Whether you're a fresh face or a seasoned pro, when you join Wakefields, you're joining a place that invests in your journey.

5. We Know KZN Like the Back of Our Hand
From Durban's beachfront to the misty Midlands, our agents don't just sell here-they live here. That means insider knowledge, local insight, and community connections you won't find anywhere else. For us, local isn't a buzzword, it's who we are.

At Wakefields, we've never just been about property. We're about people, relationships, and legacy. And after 85+ years, we're only just getting started.
