ABOUT ME
For Grant van der Westhuizen, property is ultimately about people. With close to two decades of experience in the local real estate industry, an extensive background in hospitality and a connection with Struisbaai stretching back more than 45 years, he brings together the local knowledge, experience and people skills that are so important when buying or selling property.
Grant first discovered Struisbaai 45 years ago and has watched the area grow and change over the decades. What began as a love for this unique coastal town eventually became home when he and his wife, Sarina, settled permanently in Struisbaai to raise their family. Today, both Grant and Sarina work in the property industry, sharing a passion for the area and the community in which they live and work.
During his property career, Grant has developed considerable knowledge of the greater Struisbaai market, with particularly strong experience in areas such as Langezandt Fisherman’s Village, Argonauta Park and Ocean View Heights. Having witnessed much of the development and growth of these neighbourhoods first-hand gives him an understanding that goes beyond simply knowing what properties have sold and at what price. He understands the different areas, their individual characteristics and the lifestyle each has to offer.
Grant's considerable background in the hospitality industry has also had a strong influence on the way he approaches real estate. He is naturally comfortable working with people from all walks of life and believes strongly in personal service, open communication and building relationships based on trust. He understands that buying or selling a property is a significant decision and takes the time to listen, understand what his clients need and guide them through the process.
Over the years, this combination of property experience, local knowledge and a genuine ability to work with people has contributed to an impressive sales track record. For Grant, however, success is about more than sales figures. The relationships he has built, repeat clients and referrals received over the years are equally important measures of a successful career.
Away from property, Grant has a great passion for fishing and the ocean – an interest that fits naturally with life in Struisbaai. His years spent fishing along this coastline have given him yet another perspective on the area and a genuine appreciation for the lifestyle that attracts so many people here.
For buyers, Grant offers the advantage of working with someone who knows Struisbaai from decades of personal experience and understands its property market from years of professional involvement. For sellers, he brings extensive market knowledge, strong negotiating and people skills, and an established understanding of the buyers attracted to this part of the Cape Agulhas region.
Struisbaai is not simply the area where Grant sells property. It has been part of his life for 45 years, it is where he chose to raise his family, and it is the community he is proud to call home. That personal connection, combined with his property experience and passion for people, makes him a trusted choice for anyone looking to buy or sell in the area.
