Karl van der Westhuizen

Let me introduce myself, I am Karl and I am thrilled to be your dedicated real estate agent in this beautiful town in the heart of the Garden Route! I officially moved to George in March 2022 and after having a long nurtured a keen interest in the field, I have gained the opportunity to transition from the Tourism industry into the Real Estate industry. Fueling my transition was an unquenchable passion for luxury homes and properties. What better way to explore this passion than by helping others discover their own piece of real estate heaven?

My unique life experiences have proven invaluable in my real estate career. As a former photographic safari guide, I’ve cultivated a diverse skill set that makes me a standout agent. My role demanded leadership in high-pressure safari environments, honing my mediation and negotiation skills. I frequently acted as a problem solver, both among staff and for clients, and this creative edge helps me tackle challenges in the real estate arena.

Outside the realm of property, I’m an avid photographer, an angler at heart, and a passionate woodworker. These pursuits provide the perfect balance to my real estate endeavours, offering a well-rounded perspective on life’s rich tapestry. Furthermore, my love for animals extends beyond real estate. I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and this passion has led me to be actively involved in various animal rescue and wildlife rehabilitation projects. In fact, some of these endeavours have even earned me some unusual yet cherished animal companions, including a pair of Meerkats, a pair of Caracal kittens, and more recently, a Samango monkey. Caring for these unique creatures has deepened my connection to the world’s fauna.

I cannot pinpoint a single role model, as there was so many inspirational figures who shaped who I am today, but my unwavering dedication to animal welfare has been a profound source of inspiration and fulfilment. These experiences have not only enriched my life but have also led to some extraordinary yet beloved animal companions.

My philosophy in life is simple but profound: take each step you need to reach your goals. Approach life one step at a time, control what’s within your grasp, and don’t allow the uncontrollable to deter you. Life is a journey, not a race, and I’m here to guide you on your real estate journey in George.

Let’s embark on this exciting adventure together, one step at a time. Your real estate dreams in George are my top priority, and I can’t wait to be your trusted advisor in this captivating realm of opportunities. Contact me today, and let’s make your real estate vision a reality.
