Meet the Digital Broker

A free AI assistant built into Commercial Property. It finds space that's actually on the market right now, answers real questions about how commercial property works, and gets you straight to a broker enquiry — all from the same conversation.

Three things it actually does

1. Find space

Tell it what you're looking for — a category, a suburb, a size — and it checks live stock directly, not a stale summary. It gives you a real count, a couple of real examples with size and price, and a link straight to everything that matches.

2. Do the research

Ask it what a term means, or how something typically works — gross vs net rental, what GLA or NOI stand for, how an escalation clause behaves — and it answers from the site's own glossary and guides. If it genuinely doesn't know, it says so rather than guessing.

3. Get you to an enquiry

Once it's helped you find or understand something, it takes you straight to a pre-filled enquiry instead of a blank form — you still send it yourself with your own contact details, and a broker follows up personally.

It's an automated assistant, not a person — it introduces itself that way. Anything it can't responsibly handle, like negotiation or advice specific to your deal, goes to a real broker instead of a guess.

Look for the "Digital Broker" tag in the bottom-right corner of any page to start a conversation.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Digital Broker find available space for me?

Yes. Ask it what you're after — a category, a location, a size — and it checks 4661 live listings directly, not a cached summary, and links straight to the matching search results.

Can I use it to research commercial property terms?

Yes. It answers from the site's own glossary (339 terms) and evergreen guides (41 articles) — things like the difference between a gross and net lease, what GLA or NOI mean, or how escalation clauses work.

Can I apply for or enquire about a space through it?

Yes. Once it's helped you find or understand something, it takes you straight to a pre-filled enquiry — you still send it yourself with your own contact details, but you don't start from a blank form.

Is it actually an AI, or a real person?

It's an automated assistant — we say so upfront, not buried in fine print. Anything it can't handle (specific negotiation or legal advice on your deal) it hands to a real broker rather than guessing.

Does it cost anything to use?

No — it's a free tool on the site for anyone looking for commercial space in South Africa.
