Idwala Property Group is currently located and operating in the KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa. The group is a black woman owned, level one BBBEE contributor with more than 15 years of specialising in real estate services to individuals and businesses.

Idwala Holdings C.C. was registered under the close corporation act 69 of 1984 in November 2007 and started operating in June 2008 trading as RealNet Bluff and Montclair. The establishment of Idwala Holdings was necessitated by the disparity and lack of black owned real estate companies in South Africa.

In July 2010, Idwala Holdings discontinued the franchise agreement with RealNet Group and joined the Dormehl Property Group Franchise. In 2016, after acquiring a wealth of knowledge, experience, skills and mentorship to drive and operate a real estate company professionally, Idwala Holdings took a decision to be an independent real estate agency and Idwala Property Group was birthed.

Research has proven that the economic gap is still very huge and that the majority of the real estate property giants and SMMEs are predominantly non-black and male owned. South Africa is still facing daunting challenges over this issue even after more than 26 years of democracy.

It is with this background that Idwala Property Group seeks to provide the necessary support to elevate intervention and industry support. Its goal is to foster a meaningful strategic direction in the real estate and property industry in our country.
