Invest in Your Future Home.
Secure Your South African Residency.
Crestline Advisory is a boutique advisory firm guiding international investors into curated South African property, long-term residency solutions, and high-yield money market strategies – with Cape Town as your base.
Who We Are
Crestline Advisory helps international investors design a clear, de-risked pathway into South Africa – combining residency, lifestyle, and wealth protection in one integrated solution.
With deep roots in South Africa and a strong understanding of Asian investors’ expectations, we bridge the gap between local opportunities and global capital. Our role is to coordinate reputable developers, legal partners, and banking institutions so you can focus on your long-term goals rather than paperwork.
We combine on-the-ground insight in Cape Town with a conservative risk approach – every structure, contract and cash flow must make sense for the investor first.
- End-to-end support covering property selection, residency applications, and banking setup.
- Transparent investment structures with clear roles for developer, advisory and investor.
- Partnership network including developers, licensed legal teams, and major South African banks.
Whether you are planning retirement, relocation for your family, or diversifying part of your portfolio into South Africa, Crestline Advisory helps you build a strategy that is realistic, compliant, and aligned with your long-term lifestyle.

How We Structure Your Pathway
Investor-first design in every agreement and cash flow.
Your capital, residency status, and long-term comfort come first. Every party’s responsibilities are defined before any funds move.
- Funds move through clearly defined banking channels, with full visibility for the investor.
- Legal documentation coordinated with licensed South African professionals.
- Risk discussion upfront – including currency, timelines, and construction risk.
We believe a good structure is one that you can explain to your banker, your family and your tax advisor in simple language – without hidden surprises.
Transparent roles for developer, advisory and investor.
We map out each contract relationship – from property development to advisory and banking – so you know exactly who does what, and when.
No overlapping responsibilities, no blurred lines. Each partner focuses on what they do best.
- Separate agreements for property, advisory and management when appropriate.
- Staged payments linked to project milestones and agreed deliverables.
- Clear fee structures, communicated in advance – no back-end surprises.
Locally rooted, globally minded.
Crestline Advisory is based in South Africa with strong connections to Asian investor communities. We speak both the local regulatory language and the expectations of overseas families.
- Access to local site visits, school tours, and neighbourhood checks.
- On-the-ground coordination with developers, banks and legal partners.
- Support before, during and after your relocation or retirement move.
From first call to long-term residency and beyond.
Our role does not end at property handover. We stay in the picture to help with renewals, local introductions, and ongoing lifestyle questions.
- Initial discovery sessions to clarify your objectives and risk appetite.
- Step-by-step guidance for application submissions and supporting documents.
- Post-move advisory covering practical aspects of living and investing in South Africa.
