Century 21 South Africa, the world’s largest real estate brand, has announced the opening of its newest office in Port Elizabeth, strengthening its presence in the Eastern Cape with a team purpose-built for high-performance property sales.
This strategic expansion introduces a specialist operation focused on high-value residential sales, auctioneering, and property design—positioning Century 21 Port Elizabeth to deliver exceptional outcomes for buyers, sellers, and investors across the Friendly City. Co-owned by Gareth Els and Carey Els, the office blends global brand power with deeply personalised, local expertise.
Meet the Principals
The leadership of Century 21 Port Elizabeth is grounded in a shared belief that the best real estate results come from combining strong local knowledge with specialised skill and global systems.
Gareth Els, Senior Auctioneer and Co-Owner, brings strong expertise in high-value property sales, auctioneering, and construction. With international auctioneering and sales training, he is known for his strategic negotiation skills and deep understanding of buyer behaviour. His background in construction and interior design allows him to assess property value holistically and guide clients with practical, informed insight.
“By combining my auctioneering expertise with my construction and design background, I’m able to offer a client-focused approach that delivers the best possible outcome—whether through auction or traditional sale,” says Gareth.
Carey Els, Licensed Agent and Co-Owner, adds a creative and people-focused perspective to the business. With qualifications in photography and interior design, and experience in construction project management, she brings a strong eye for presentation, staging, and visual marketing—helping sellers maximise value and buyers recognise true potential.
“Real estate is about people, not just property. I take the time to understand each client’s goals so I can deliver a personalised, professional experience,” Carey shares.
Raising the Bar in the Eastern Cape
Now open for business, Century 21 Port Elizabeth represents a new standard of professionalism, transparency, and specialised expertise in the Eastern Cape property market. The Els team invites buyers, sellers, and investors to experience the impact of world-class auctioneering, thoughtful design insight, and globally backed real estate systems in their next property transaction.
