Gerda Van der Linde

I am Gerda, a highly respected principal agent with over 30 years of industry experience.

My extensive knowledge of the real estate industry and the local market has enabled me to help my clients with tried and tested market strategies and expert advice on properties in the Faerie Glen and Garsfontein areas.

Based on my record results and outstanding customer service feedback, my clients have greatly benefited from my expertise. I am proud to say that I have numerous returning clients who are satisfied with my service, which I believe is a testament to my abilities.

My personal approach to each negotiation has resulted in significant repeat and referral business over the years, and I have even received an award for Referred Business. To stay updated, I attend numerous lectures and courses related to the property industry.

For me, being a property practitioner is not just a job, it is a passion, and I take pride in being personally involved in every transaction by going the extra mile for each client.

Outside of work, I am involved in the Neighbourhood Watch in my area, and I have supported the CPF with funds to upgrade the area. I also enjoy collecting art and have a close bond with my friends and family.


Testimonials:

In search of a property that is convenient for us, I contacted Gerda. She said she has exactly what I was looking for and she mentioned that she only had this spot for us but that she still couldn't take pictures, as the property was not in the market yet.
A week later I got her call and she said I should look on the webpage, as she has listed the house.

Needless to say, I was very impressed when she remembered me. The same afternoon we went to look at the house, and on the same evening the necessary documents were signed. Everything very professional and with the greatest hospitality. She made everything possible for us in a home. I recommend Gerda, her service is the best in the East. We will know, because we searched for four years and dealt with a lot of agents. If you are looking for your own niche, please contact Gerda. She delivers! Thanks Gerda, you are the Best.

Partnering with Gerda with the sale of my property in Garsfontein was a professional, efficient and flexible experience. My unique situation is that I am not physically in the country. Gerda took on the task of selling a house urgently, the house needed some improvements and Gerda used her market knowledge and experience in the area to price the property to sell.

Much of our communication was done over email due to timezone differences. Gerda also leveraged WhatsApp to work with me and provided quick responses with specific details and actions to be taken. I appreciated this efficiency, Gerda is able to get to the point and move things forward, having suggestions and answers to problems.

I had a tenant in the property and Gerda worked closely and sensitively with the tenant, respecting their privacy but also keeping my best interest of selling in mind.

She used her strong interpersonal skills to ensure viewing appointments were set up to suit everyone. She even helped out the tenant one night by providing them dinner due to them accommodating us in the sale. This is the difference that Gerda brings!

I received an offer to purchase after about 2 days of the property being on the market. We signed and that was when Gerda went even further with her professional service.

The house was empty for a few weeks while the new owners were preparing to move in, Gerda ensured that curtains were put in place, lights were on and that the home didn't receive unwanted attention during the transition phase.

After the sale there were some plans that needed to be drawn up, this process actually took nearly two years and Gerda has been involved every step of the way.

I specifically used the word "partnering" with Gerda. I never felt isolated once during the process and with Gerda's network of contacts, we did what we needed to get the sales signed.

I thank Gerda and would recommend her again and again!

I recently sold a house with Gerda and while this can be a very stressful process, I felt 110% confident by partnering with Gerda. She was candid, provided great feedback, helped explain clearly all details and managed the actual sale negotiation brilliantly. In addition, she was extremely responsive to every one of my questions, no matter how small. I am extremely certain Gerda will be the right partner to help you navigate this process.
