The problem
Sound familiar?
Running an estate on group chats and goodwill works right up until it doesn’t.
63 WhatsApps before breakfast
The estate group is the complaints line, the lost-dog line and the “who left the gate open” line. All before 7am.
The leak nobody logged
Mentioned to a trustee at the braai. Forgotten by Monday. Now it’s a ceiling.
Approvals stuck in an inbox
The renovation request went to someone’s Gmail. That trustee moved out in March.
What it does

Residents get the app. Trustees and managers get the web portal. Everyone gets the same picture.

Guides for running a community scheme
What is EstateMate?
EstateMate is a community management app for residential estates, complexes, bodies corporate and HOAs. Residents use the iOS and Android app, and trustees and estate managers use the web portal, to run visitors, maintenance, notices, approvals, documents, bookings and levy visibility in one place.
How much does EstateMate cost?
From R10 per property per month, billed to the scheme, with every feature included and no per-resident fees. Residents use the app for free. A 120-unit complex pays R1,200 a month. See pricing.
Does EstateMate replace our managing agent or accounting system?
No. EstateMate works alongside your managing agent’s property management and accounting system. It sends requests to their inbox or software and shows residents levy balances from their books.
Which access control systems does EstateMate work with?
EstateMate works with At The Gate, EvTrack, OpenItem, Arke, Hello, HikConnect and Dahua, so you keep your gate hardware and guardhouse software. See integrations.
Where is EstateMate available?
EstateMate is built in South Africa and runs estates, complexes and bodies corporate in several countries.
Is EstateMate POPIA compliant?
EstateMate processes residents’ personal information in line with POPIA. The data belongs to the scheme, and access is limited to the people who need it.
