Real Estate Services wasn't built in a boardroom. It was built by two people who spent decades inside the industry and decided the way agents were being treated wasn't good enough.
"Good agents have been doing the work for years and getting treated like they should be grateful for the privilege. We were never okay with that. We never have been."
Giovanni Gaggia spent more than two decades inside South African real estate, in leadership roles at some of the biggest names in the market. Long enough to see the same thing happen over and over: the agents doing the work were the ones keeping the least.
Desk fees. Royalties. Marketing levies. A commission split that quietly funded everyone except the person who closed the deal. He founded Real Estate Services in 2019 to build the alternative he kept wishing existed.
A belief doesn't run an agency. Carrol Dell does. With more than ten years in real estate, she built the operational backbone that turns the idea into something agents can actually rely on: compliance, training, and the discipline of running a serious operation.
Giovanni carries the why. Carrol makes it work in practice. Neither one without the other. Together, they are the company.
More than 23 years in South African real estate, including leadership roles at major brands. He founded Real Estate Services after seeing first-hand that agents weren't keeping a fair share of what they earned. He carries the conviction the company was built on.
More than 10 years in real estate and an active shareholder operating at senior management level. Deeply engaged with industry regulation and agent empowerment, she built and runs the operational backbone that makes the model work.
