A new kind of property partnership.
We Rent Homes is a residential property partnership company operating throughout Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal. Our business was established to provide property owners with a modern, professional and reliable alternative to traditional property rental models.
Unlike conventional rental agencies that primarily introduce occupants to property owners, We Rent Homes enters into a direct lease agreement with property owners and assumes responsibility for the day-to-day management and administration of the property throughout the duration of the partnership.
Our objective is simple: to provide property owners with predictable rental income, professional occupancy management, responsive communication and genuine peace of mind.
We Rent Homes is proudly powered by Phoenix Rise Real Estate Solutions. Through this relationship, We Rent Homes operates within an established professional property environment committed to industry standards, regulatory compliance and professional service delivery. This affiliation supports our commitment to transparency, accountability and professionalism.

Brian Gumede
Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
With approximately twenty (20) years of experience within the property industry, Brian has developed extensive knowledge of residential property operations, property management, occupancy administration and property owner relations.
Driven by a passion for property and entrepreneurship, Brian developed the vision and business model behind We Rent Homes with the objective of creating a modern property partnership solution that simplifies property ownership while delivering greater certainty, accountability and peace of mind for property owners.
“His philosophy is influenced by the evolution of modern asset-light businesses. Similar to how Uber transformed transportation without owning fleets of vehicles, We Rent Homes focuses on creating value through professional property management rather than through ownership of the underlying properties.”
Brian remains committed to building a trusted, professional and scalable property business focused on long-term partnerships, innovation and service excellence.
