Quay 1 'Elevate'
Shared value brokering
Both sellers and buyers unlock financial benefits when a property transacts through Quay 1 - including up to 75% off a diverse range of professional fees.
The idea
A rewards programme for property designed for property
We are excited to announce that Shared Value Real Estate Brokering is officially here! With Quay 1's innovative shared value brokering rewards program, both sellers and buyers alike can unlock a diverse range of financial benefits when transacting through Quay 1, providing clients with the opportunity to save tens of thousands of rands.
Rewards programmes are familiar in healthcare and financial services - Discovery Vitality and FNB eBucks among them. Property has not had one. 'Elevate' is Quay 1's answer to that.
How it works
ONE TRANSACTION, EVERY SIDE REWARDED
Elevate applies to the transaction itself, so the benefits reach both sides of the deal rather than only one, whether you are selling, buying, letting or renting. Your area specialist broker will walk you through what you qualify for and how to claim it.

List with Quay 1
Your area specialist broker takes the property to market with the full Quay 1 marketing campaign, and the sale is enrolled in the ‘Elevate’ campaign.

The seller unlocks benefits
Sellers unlock up to 75% off a diverse range of professional fees, plus other discounts associated with the sale.

The buyer saves too
Buyers gain access to significant savings across a curated network of property-related services, with fee reductions on offer throughout the purchasing journey.
- 4
The landlord cuts costs
Landlords save with discounts on property maintenance, compliance certificates and insurance policies that keep a rental in good standing for less.
- 5
The tenant pays less
Elevate removes the frictional costs that come with renting, so tenants transacting through Quay 1 unlock meaningful financial advantages on their next lease.
- 6
Every side comes out ahead
Lower costs strengthen the position of every client in the transaction, unlocking value at every stage of their property journey.
The Quay 1 'Elevate' initiative has been meticulously designed to empower homeowners to maximise their returns when selling by unlocking a range of direct and indirect financial benefits to ensure a rewarding experience throughout the selling process.
Why it works
The case for shared value
Up to 75% off professional fees
Under the Elevate initiative, buyers and sellers unlock up to 75% in savings on professional fees associated with the sale, alongside discounted preferential rates on property-related transactional services such as conveyancing attorney fees, bond registration costs, and compliance certification expenses.
Savings that become buying power
Lower frictional costs release liquidity, letting a purchaser put a stronger offer on the table when competing for a property.
A better net result for the seller
Stronger offers and a rewarded seller mean more of the transaction's value stays with the people in it.
Proven in other industries
Rewards programmes have long been standard in healthcare and financial services. Elevate brings the same logic to a property transaction.
Strong early uptake
The Elevate program has demonstrated rapid market adoption across the Western Cape, enrolling thousands of residential property transactions to date. Through this initiative, Quay 1 has unlocked over R3 million in collective direct savings for transacting buyers and sellers.
Applied by your own broker
Elevate is arranged by the area specialist handling your sale - there is no separate process to manage.
A robust rewards program, akin to those found in the healthcare and financial sectors, such as Discovery Vitality and FNB eBucks, has long been overdue in the property industry. The remarkable uptake of this distinctive offering underscores its significant potential given the substantial savings benefiting both sellers and buyers.
Common questions
What is shared value brokering?
Shared Value Brokering is Quay 1's approach to sharing the value created by a transaction with both sides of it. Through ‘Elevate’, our Shared Value Brokering rewards programme, sellers and buyers unlock direct and indirect financial benefits when they transact through Quay 1.
How much can I save with Elevate?
Purchasers can unlock up to 75% off a diverse range of professional fees, plus other discounts associated with the sale, which can amount to tens of thousands of rands. To find out exactly what savings you could qualify for, get in touch with your broker directly - they'll be able to walk you through the specific benefits available for your transaction.
How does a buyer's saving benefit the seller?
The savings unlock liquidity. A purchaser who spends less on professional fees has more cash available, which puts them in a position to strengthen their offer when competing for a property - which indirectly benefits the selling price the seller achieves.
Does it cost anything to join Elevate?
Joining Elevate is free and straightforward: there are no complicated eligibility criteria to meet. All you need to do to participate is list or transact your property through Quay 1 and ask your Quay 1 specialist broker for more information.
