Hi, I’m Yolanda Welgemoed.

For the past 12 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people buy and sell homes across Durbanville and the Northern Suburbs — and after all this time, I still genuinely love what I do.

Real estate has never been just about property to me. It’s about people, emotions, timing, trust, and guiding someone through an important chapter of their life with honesty and care.

Over the years, I’ve worked with first-time buyers who never thought owning a home would be possible, families upgrading for a new season of life, elderly sellers saying goodbye to homes filled with memories, and clients navigating difficult transitions like divorce or financial pressure. Those moments have taught me that people don’t just need an agent — they need someone who will stay calm, communicate openly, guide them honestly, and truly be there from beginning to end.

That’s exactly how I approach my business.

I believe in transparency, realistic advice, and always putting my clients’ best interests first — even if that means telling someone to rather wait another year before selling to achieve a better result. Relationships matter more to me than quick transactions, and I never want clients to feel pressured or like “just another sale.”

Buh-Rein Estate holds a very special place in my heart. I was there from the beginning, walking the grounds in hard hats while this now-thriving community was still just a vision on paper. Watching Buh-Rein grow into a place where families build their lives, children ride their bikes through the parks, and first-time buyers become long-term homeowners has been incredibly rewarding.

I also understand why so many people fall in love with Durbanville and the surrounding areas. From excellent schools and family-focused living to wine farms, open spaces, growing communities, and a lifestyle that balances convenience with a true sense of home — this area offers something really special.

Outside of real estate, I’m a wife, a mom to a daughter at Durbanville High School, and married to an executive chef, so home and family are deeply important to me. I understand how emotional buying or selling can be because I understand what “home” truly means to people.

After many successful years as part of Team Pieter Kotze, I’ve recently stepped into an exciting new chapter with eXp Realty — a modern, innovative company that allows me to market properties with even greater exposure and smarter technology, while still giving my clients the personal service they know me for.

The property market has changed many times over the years, and I’ve experienced both the highs and challenges that come with this industry. But through it all, one thing has never changed: my passion for people, my love for property, and the excitement I still feel every time I help someone move forward in life.

If you’re looking for honest guidance, personal service, and someone who truly knows and loves this area, I’d love the opportunity to help you with your next move.
