Theo Goosen Estate Agents & Auctioneers: Meet Elsabe Scheepers

Her bubbly personality makes property feel personal

This energetic and well-known estate agent has quickly made a name for herself through her warmth, positivity, and people-first approach, since stepping into the real estate world in May 2022. She says she cannot imagine doing anything else. For her, no two days are the same, and that is exactly what she loves most about the job.

Working primarily in Polokwane and surrounding areas, she assists a wide range of clients – from first-time buyers and growing families to investors and rental clients.

What truly sets her apart is how personally she takes her work. She treats every client like family, remaining hands-on and accessible throughout the entire process. Whether it is a sale or a rental, she believes her job does not end when a deal is signed.

Building trust, she says, comes down to being genuine. She keeps communication open, explains each step clearly, and makes sure clients always feel comfortable asking questions.

Outside of work, her greatest passions are family, people, and making a meaningful difference wherever she can. She also values continuous learning, always looking for ways to grow and improve in her profession.

The best advice she has ever received is simple but powerful: “People will always remember how you made them feel.” It is a principle she lives by in both her personal life and her business relationships.

For her, Polokwane and Limpopo offer the perfect balance — a rapidly growing city that still holds onto a warm, friendly community spirit. With convenient amenities and beautiful nature close by it is a place where people can truly feel at home.

One of her most memorable client requests involved finding a property that could comfortably house a family while also generating rental income – a challenge she describes as “like solving a puzzle,” and one she thoroughly enjoyed.

When it comes to her own dream home, she values an open-plan kitchen and living space, this is the heart of any home where cooking, conversations, and memories are made.

And if asked to choose between beach, bush, or braai, her answer comes with a smile: braai, without a doubt — because for her, nothing beats good food, great company, and plenty of laughter.
