“My first transaction was the sale of an erf to a special
couple, who were brave enough to trust in the promises
made about the newly established Woodland Hills Wildlife
Estate. Since this first transaction, I have helped hundreds
of families find or sell their Woodland Hills home. Each
property, each family, holds a special place in my heart -
each transaction being a highlight of my career.”
Born and bred in the Free State, Retha van Zyl is the owner and
Principal of Retha van Zyl Real Estate, an estate agency that turns
dreams into realty in Woodland Hills Wildlife Estate.
Looking back on her career as a property practitioner, she feels grateful
for each person who trusted her with the sale and/or purchase of
their erf/home. The first few years of marketing the estate were very
challenging for Retha as it was a new development; and most people
she encountered had serious doubts as to whether this security estate
would ever succeed.

is an opportunity to make a positive impact on the personal life of a
“I took inspiration from the brave decision my husband, Wikus, and I
had made when we purchased our erf in Woodland Hills a year before
I started my career as property practitioner. Based on the experiences
we had with the developer and the Board of Trustees at the time, I
managed to convince quite a few skeptics to make this new Estate
their home,” says Retha.
According to Retha, selling property is her calling. “Each invitation to
market someone’s property; or to help someone find a new home,
person, couple or family; and I never take a call for granted,” she relays.
She is tenacious, and never gives up. “I set high standards for myself
and work hard to create a positive experience for my clients. When I
go through tough times and feel like losing hope; I find comfort in the
Retha.
Aside from her profession, Retha practices a number of hobbies such
as gardening, photography, and chalk paint - crafts she masters as she
goes. Aligning some of her hobbies with her profession, she relishes
the opportunity to photograph beautiful homes.
“The greatest compliment on my work, is when a seller proclaims
that they would like to buy their own house, based on my advert.
I thoroughly enjoy what I do. Most of all, I love creating new
relationships with my clients. For a short time, I become a part of their
household; sharing in their personal journey,” she says.
Looking ahead to 2023, Retha wishes to re-establish relationships
with previous clients and to create opportunities for people to get
to know her on a personal level. “My life’s purpose is to serve people
with honesty, integrity and empathy. I will put a renewed focus on
ensuring that Retha van Zyl Real Estate is the estate agency to trust in
Woodland Hills Wildlife Estate,” Retha concludes.
