Rising star: Eduan van der Walt wins Rookie of the Year 2024

Eduan van der Walt, a promising real estate agent, has been recognised for his exceptional performance with the prestigious “Rookie of the Year” award at the Century 21 Pearl Awards 2024. The highly anticipated awards ceremony, held in Hoedspruit in September, celebrated the achievements of top-performing real estate agents and franchises across the country.

Van der Walt has not only demonstrated an impressive sales record in his first full year as a practitioner at Century 21 Nelspruit/White River but also inspired a generation of new agents entering the field.

While Van der Walt has found his calling in real estate, he boasts a diverse background. “I have a decade-long professional sports career, playing rugby for the Pumas after completing my education,” he says. “This experience instilled in me invaluable lessons in teamwork, perseverance, and adaptability as I collaborated with individuals from various backgrounds.”

Recognised for his leadership abilities by coaches and teammates alike, he transitioned from the world of sports to pursue his lifelong passion for real estate. With three years of experience as a residential property valuer under his belt, he embarked on a new chapter focused on sales and client service. This eventually led Van der Walt to Century 21 Nelspruit/White River, where he specialises in property valuation and sale.

Winning “Rookie of the Year” caps off an excellent year of helping his clients achieve their property goals. And a combination of factors has ensured the service has been nothing short of unparalleled. As he explains, “Local real estate expertise, the knowledge of the process of valuation, and a healthy circle of influence have been key to my success. I also value client feedback and strive to deliver the best service possible.” With this mindset, Van der Walt has not only made a strong entrance into the industry but also set the stage for continued success in the years to come.
