Perhaps other agencies should bear this in mind when choosing their office premises.” ##### For more information, email [marketing@rawsonproperties.com](mailto:marketing@rawsonproperties.com) or visit [www.rawson.co.za](https://www.rawson.co.za/) for the latest market tips and industry news. ## Rawson ### Leave a comment ### More Posts Jul 02, 2026 #### [Stock shortage puts Western Cape sellers in the driving seat](https://blog.rawson.co.za/stock-shortage-puts-western-cape-sellers-in-the-driving-seat) advice [![Share on Facebook](https://blog.rawson.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/social-uploaded-images/Facebook%20Icons.png?width=24&name=Facebook%20Icons.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.rawson.co.za%2Fadvice-to-estate-agents-offices-in-a-major-retail-complex-can-result-in-a-big-upswing-in-business%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://blog.rawson.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/social-uploaded-images/Linkedin%20Icon.png?width=24&name=Linkedin%20Icon.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.rawson.co.za%2Fadvice-to-estate-agents-offices-in-a-major-retail-complex-can-result-in-a-big-upswing-in-business%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://blog.rawson.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/social-uploaded-images/Twitter.png?width=24&name=Twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.rawson.co.za%2Fadvice-to-estate-agents-offices-in-a-major-retail-complex-can-result-in-a-big-upswing-in-business%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.rawson.co.za%2Fadvice-to-estate-agents-offices-in-a-major-retail-complex-can-result-in-a-big-upswing-in-business%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Advice%20to%20estate%20agents%3A%20Offices%20in%20a%20major%20retail%20complex%20can%20result%20in%20a%20big%20upswing%20in%20business) May 28, 2026 #### [Rates increase by 25 basis points: What May’s MPC decision means for SA property](https://blog.rawson.co.za/rates-increase-by-25-basis-points-what-mays-mpc-decision-means-for-sa-property) [![Share on Facebook](https://blog.rawson.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/social-uploaded-images/Facebook%20Icons.png?width=24&name=Facebook%20Icons.png)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.rawson.co.za%2Fadvice-to-estate-agents-offices-in-a-major-retail-complex-can-result-in-a-big-upswing-in-business%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dfacebook) [![Share on LinkedIn](https://blog.rawson.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/social-uploaded-images/Linkedin%20Icon.png?width=24&name=Linkedin%20Icon.png)](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.rawson.co.za%2Fadvice-to-estate-agents-offices-in-a-major-retail-complex-can-result-in-a-big-upswing-in-business%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dlinkedin) [![Share on Twitter](https://blog.rawson.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/social-uploaded-images/Twitter.png?width=24&name=Twitter.png)](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.rawson.co.za%2Fadvice-to-estate-agents-offices-in-a-major-retail-complex-can-result-in-a-big-upswing-in-business%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.rawson.co.za%2Fadvice-to-estate-agents-offices-in-a-major-retail-complex-can-result-in-a-big-upswing-in-business%3Futm_medium%3Dsocial%26utm_source%3Dtwitter&source=tweetbutton&text=Advice%20to%20estate%20agents%3A%20Offices%20in%20a%20major%20retail%20complex%20can%20result%20in%20a%20big%20upswing%20in%20business) May 19, 2026 #### [Who’s fixing what?
