Why This Matters in South Africa
Deal Score vs Traditional Tools
• CMA Reports: Often inflated, agent-driven data, and geared to close deals.
• Lightstone Reports: Packed with good raw data but lacks practical guidance.
Deal Score simplifies everything:
“ This deal is 18 % above the market average.” That’ s it. No confusion. No wasted time.
R89 vs R150,000: Your Smartest Investment For the cost of a smoothie, you can:
• Avoid overpaying on one of life’ s biggest purchases
• Strengthen your negotiating power
• Back your offer with hard data
• Buy with confidence, not emotion
Action Steps for Smart Buyers
1. Run a Deal Score on the property you’ re considering. 2. Use the report to negotiate better or walk away. 3. Compare Deal Scores across listings to uncover hidden value. 4. Buy with clarity, not under pressure.
