More about Anel

My name is Anel Louw, I grew up in the charming town of Lady Grey in the Eastern Cape and completed my high school years through Welverdiend Home School. I’m blessed with a supportive husband and two beautiful children who keep life full and meaningful.

My journey began in education, after which I successfully ran my own business for 10 years before moving into student accommodation management and, ultimately, real estate. Along the way, I discovered that my true passion lies in serving people—whether through teaching, business, or helping families find a place to call home.

I have a heart for working with children, especially those with special needs, and I also enjoy cooking, baking, and anything that involves creating joy for others. I believe in always going the extra mile, and it’s this same dedication I bring to real estate. Matching the right family with the perfect home is not just my career—it’s my passion.

Selling an Overpriced Property: How to Bounce Back and Attract Buyers

18 Aug 2025

When it comes to selling a home, every property owner dreams of securing the best possible price. Unfortunately, one of the most common mistakes sellers make is setting the price too high.
