About Scetra
We're South Africa's first and only property service built exclusively for buyers. No seller conflicts, no hidden agendas—just honest guidance to help you find and buy your perfect home.
Your Homebuying Advocate in South Africa
We understand buying your first home can feel overwhelming. We're here to guide you every step of the way.
We never represent sellers or collect commission from them. Our loyalty is 100% with you, the buyer.
We understand the emotional journey of homebuying and provide supportive, patient guidance throughout.
Clear, honest communication at every step. No surprises, no hidden fees, no conflicts of interest.
Why Scetra Exists
We founded Scetra to change this. As South Africa's first buyer-dedicated real estate service, we provide the guidance, tools, and advocacy that homebuyers—especially first-time buyers—truly need.
Our mission is simple: empower every South African to buy their home with confidence, transparency, and expert support that's genuinely on their side.

100% Free for Buyers
Scetra never charges buyers any fees—no retainer, no success fee, no hidden costs. Our service is completely free for homebuyers.
How We're Funded:
- • Partner referral fees from vetted service providers (conveyancers, bond originators, inspectors)
- • These fees don't affect your purchase price or service quality
- • We only partner with providers who meet our strict buyer-first standards
- • Full transparency—we'll always disclose any referral relationships
Our Promise: We will never recommend a service provider based on referral fees. All recommendations are made solely based on quality, value, and what's best for you as the buyer.
