You’ve likely seen the message: list your property on Prop Listing for R99. But is that really worth it? Let’s do the maths together. Indeed, once you see the numbers, you’ll wonder why you ever relied only on disappearing Facebook posts.
The Formula
Here’s the basic logic:
If one property sells or rents because of your Prop Listing, the R99 fee pays for itself – plus your commission. Furthermore, let’s break it down with real numbers.
For a Sale (Commission‑based)
| Item | Amount |
| Average property sale price (lower‑end) | R500,000 |
| Typical agent commission (5% – 7%) | R25,000 – R35,000 |
| Prop Listing fee | R99 |
| Net gain if sold via Prop Listing | R24,901 – R34,901 |
Therefore, that means one successful sale covers the cost of 250–350 listings.
For a Rental (Lower value, still profitable)
| Item | Amount |
| Average monthly rent | R6,000 |
| Typical agent commission (1 month’s rent) | R6,000 |
| Prop Listing fee | R99 |
| Net gain if rented via Prop Listing | R5,901 |
In short, that’s still 60x your investment.
The Hidden Cost of Not Listing
On the other hand, let’s look at the other side of the coin: what happens if you don’t spend the R99?
- Your property stays invisible to serious buyers who only use searchable property platforms.
- Because of this, you rely on Facebook posts that disappear in 48 hours.
- Consequently, you miss potential leads without ever knowing they existed.
- Furthermore, you lose the chance to build your agent profile and portfolio.
Ultimately, the true cost of not listing is not R99 – it’s the commission you never earn.
The Bottom Line
R99 is less than a pizza, less than a tank of fuel, and less than a monthly streaming subscription. However, it can be the difference between a property that disappears in a Facebook feed and a property that gets found by a serious buyer with cash in hand.
Specifically, Prop Listing doesn’t ask for a monthly subscription. It doesn’t lock you into a contract. Instead, it just asks for R99 per listing – and gives you a permanent, searchable, shareable home for your property, complete with a WhatsApp enquiry button.
Try it once. If it doesn’t work, you’re out R99. But if it does – you’ve gained a client and a commission.
