Thinking of renting out your Johannesburg home?

Home Joburg lets beautiful homes in Johannesburg’s northern suburbs to relocating executive and international families on formal leases. Hannah Pirnie, an eXp Realty South Africa agent with 16 years of lived expat experience in Johannesburg, handles every viewing, tenant check and lease personally.

What kind of home are we looking for?

Homes with a story. Tell us what makes yours special, why you’ve loved living there and why it would feel like home to a family arriving from overseas.

Morning coffee on the patio. The children in the pool. Citrus trees in the garden, evenings by the fire, neighbours who wave. The feeling you get every time you pull into the driveway.

The families we work with are starting a new chapter in Johannesburg. They need more than four walls. They need a home that makes the whole move feel like the right decision.

If that sounds like your home, fill in the short form below and let’s talk about whether it’s the right fit.

Section 01

Who am I talking to?

So I know who owns the home and how best to reach you.

Section 02

What kind of home are you letting?

Just enough so I can picture it.

Please select a property type

Street number and name, plus the complex or estate name if there is one. I only use it to prepare your valuation, and it’s never published.

Please enter the property address
Please enter the suburb
Please select bedrooms

Furnished homes tend to let faster to corporate transferees. Unfurnished homes suit longer-term tenants.

Please select furnishing

A ballpark is fine. The valuation visit gives you a market-tested figure.

Please select a range
Section 03

When is it available, and who would suit it?

When the home is free, and who you’d be happy to hand the keys to.

When could a tenant first move in? Leave blank if you’re not sure yet.

Please select current status
Please select Yes or No
Please select a preference
Please select an option

Most of the tenants I place are corporate transferees and international families on assignment, so knowing this up front tells us both whether we’re a fit.

Section 04

What else should I know about your home?

Optional. We’ll cover everything else on the valuation visit.

Landlord questions

What do landlords ask before letting with Home Joburg?

The questions I hear most often, answered straight.

What does Home Joburg do for landlords in Johannesburg?

I find the right tenant for your home and look after the letting from start to finish. I list your home on my website and share it with my relocation and corporate partners, show every viewing myself, screen each application, draw up the lease and collect the deposit and first month’s rent. I also arrange an independent in-going inspection at my own cost, introduce you to your new tenants and come back two months before the lease ends to talk about renewal.

Who will be living in my home?

Most of the tenants I place are executives and international families relocating to Johannesburg for work, many through corporate relocation programmes. They want a well-kept home in a good neighbourhood for the length of their assignment, and they tend to look after it. I only put forward tenants I’d be happy to hand my own keys to.

Which Johannesburg suburbs do you let homes in?

I focus on the northern suburbs: Parkhurst, Parkwood, Hyde Park, Westcliff, Dainfern, Steyn City and Waterfall among them. If your home is nearby and you think it would suit an international family, tell me about it and I’ll give you an honest answer on whether it’s a fit.

Should I let my home furnished or unfurnished?

It depends on who you want to attract. Furnished homes tend to let faster to corporate transferees, who often arrive with a few suitcases and a start date. Unfurnished homes suit families shipping their own furniture and longer-term tenants. If you’re torn, choose “Open to either” on the form and we’ll talk it through.

How do you work out the right rent for my home?

On the valuation visit I look at your home, what similar homes nearby have let for and what tenants are asking for right now. You get an honest, evidence-based figure. If it’s different from what you were hoping for, I’ll tell you why, because a home sitting empty at the wrong price costs you more than adjusting early.

What happens after I send the form?

I read every enquiry myself and give you a call for a short chat about your home and your plans. If it looks like a good fit, we book a valuation visit. I work on a sole mandate basis only. Many of my tenants are corporate clients who expect discretion, and a sole mandate means your home is presented by one agent, consistently and carefully, rather than by several at once. FICA documents are only needed if we sign a mandate, and sending the form puts you under no obligation.
