The couple quickly grew as a company recognised for their legendary commitment to their clients. They intuitively realised that their strengths lay in their love for properties and shifted their concentration to the Conveyancing of properties and the registration of bonds. Shortly after the opening of their practice they became part of an era that produced huge opportunities in the property market. Through their diligence, they quickly gained the trust of estate agents, the major financial institutions, the public in general and property developers who instructed them to attend to all legal work regarding the preparation and finalisation of the Opening of Sectional Title Registers, Hybrid Schemes and the registrations of the units in the schemes to the individual purchasers.

For five years they have also been actively involved in the property market as developers. Schaefer Attorneys has a strong professional team consisting of four Conveyancers/ Attorneys/Notaries and a panel of highly competent, well-trained Conveyancing assistants, most of them trained in-house from day one.

These businessmen and women of integrity believe in a hands-on approach with their clients and will always make sure that they do not grow too big to lose the ‘family feeling’ that is so important, especially since they are dealing with the single most important asset which the average person will buy or sell, their home.
