Harcourts Blue / Non-Principal Property Practitioner
More about Elaine

I’m Elaine van Deventer, a PPRA-registered, NQF4-qualified, full-status Property Practitioner with Harcourts Blue, proudly serving Germiston, Lambton, Parkhill Gardens, Union, Albemarle, Dinwiddie and surrounding areas. With more than four years of experience in real estate and 23 years in the service industry, I bring a strong combination of professionalism, empathy and dedication to every client I represent. Service excellence has always been at the core of my career, and real estate has become the perfect platform for me to blend my passion for people with my commitment to delivering remarkable results.

My background in the service industry shaped the way I work—always attentive, always present and always striving to understand the needs behind each client’s decision. Real estate is not just a profession for me; it is an opportunity to support individuals and families during one of the most significant milestones of their lives. I specialize in residential free-standing homes, sectional-title units, townhouses, family properties and investment opportunities across Germiston and its vibrant surrounding suburbs. Clients value my warm communication style, my consistent feedback and my ability to build trust quickly through honesty, integrity and genuine care.

I thrive on helping people find the right home, whether they are buying for the first time, upgrading their lifestyle, downsizing or expanding their investment portfolio. For sellers, I offer clear guidance on market conditions, pricing strategy, buyer behaviour and preparation for listing. My focus is to make the process feel organized, supported and stress-free, ensuring every client feels equipped to make confident decisions. My negotiation skills, market awareness and customer-first mindset help secure the best possible outcomes, no matter the market conditions.

My passion for real estate is driven by the relationships I build. I believe in offering personalized service—taking time to truly listen, to understand each client’s goals and to create a plan tailored to their journey. Every home carries a story, and every client entrusts me with part of their story. That responsibility motivates me to go above and beyond, offering guidance that is grounded, honest and aligned with my clients’ best interests. Many of the people I assist become long-term clients or refer others, a reflection of the trust and rapport we build together.

To remain effective in a dynamic industry, I prioritize ongoing learning and development. I stay informed on market shifts, legislative updates, economic influences, digital marketing strategies and community trends that impact property values and buyer demand. This ensures that the advice I provide is accurate, relevant and forward-thinking. My goal is not only to help clients achieve success today but to equip them with insights that support long-term property growth and financial security.

Being part of Harcourts Blue allows me to combine my personal service philosophy with a brand that values integrity, innovation and global support. Our world-class marketing tools, structured systems and collaborative team environment ensure that every property receives exceptional exposure and every client receives the care and professionalism they deserve. I am proud to represent a company whose values align so closely with my own.

Whether you are buying, selling or investing in Germiston, Lambton, Parkhill Gardens, Union, Albemarle or Dinwiddie, I am committed to delivering a seamless, informed and enjoyable real estate experience.

Your goals matter, your home matters, and I am with you all the way.
