This strategic collaboration marks a first for the property marketing space — merging Rainmaker’s award-winning expertise with Hirsch’s longstanding reputation for quality, service, and innovation. At the heart of this partnership is a simple but compelling offer: exclusive Hirsch’s vouchers for buyers purchasing property in selected Rainmaker-marketed developments.
A Head Start for Property Purchasers
In a market where first-time buyers are navigating high costs and limited disposable income, this partnership aims to alleviate some of the pressure. According to Stefan Botha, Director of Rainmaker Marketing, the partnership will allow homeowners to personalise and equip their new space with essentials that suit their lifestyle and budget, thanks to a meaningful boost in the form of a Hirsch’s Homestore voucher.
From kitchen appliances to TVs, vacuums to washing machines, buyers can choose what they need, when they need it, across Hirsch’s expansive national network. Apart from this being a generic incentive — it’s flexible, practical, and empowering.
“For many buyers, especially those stepping into the property market for the first time, setting up a home can be financially overwhelming. This voucher creates breathing room, helping to bridge the gap between buying a property and creating a home. We’re proud to partner with Hirsch to offer something that’s not just valuable, but meaningful,” explains Botha.
Margaret Hirsch, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Hirsch, explains the partnership: ‘We love supporting our clients in creating spaces that truly reflect their needs and lifestyle, and assisting them in choosing the right product for their home. We’re proud to be part of this new chapter in property marketing — one that prioritises the buyer and aims to shake things up on a long-term basis through multiple developments, rather than just one ad hoc project.”
Creating Sales Momentum for Developers

Botha continues, “For property developers, the value proposition is equally compelling. By including a Hirsch’s voucher as part of the overall offering, developers gain a fresh marketing edge — a lifestyle-centric differentiator that can help drive sales, fast-track decisions, and attract a wider pool of motivated buyers”.
The partnership will officially launch with Solara Salta, developed by property development gurus and Sibaya precinct’s Master Developer, Devmco Group. This dynamic new residential development within the Sibaya Coastal Precinct is one of the final remaining opportunities located in a well-established estate. Located just minutes from key amenities and transport routes, Solara combines affordability with quality, making it the ideal starting point for this high-impact initiative.
While the partnership launches in KwaZulu-Natal, its vision is national. With both Rainmaker and Hirsch operating across South Africa, the initiative is designed to scale into other provinces, bringing its benefits to more developers and more buyers across the country and even abroad.
By aligning with a trusted retail brand like Hirsch, Rainmaker is setting a new standard for how residential developments are marketed — with real, lifestyle-driven incentives that resonate with today’s buyers while providing a smart and innovative tool for developers. It’s a forward-thinking model that puts people first, turning the dream of homeownership into a more supported, seamless experience across either ends of the spectrum.
