Herman De Lange | Candidate Property Practitioner & West Rand Market Expert
Merging a powerful 30-year legacy with a formidable entrepreneurial background, Herman De Lange stands as a premier, multi-award-winning property specialist at Harcourts Rhino. His history with the franchise runs deep, originally starting with the firm (then Homenet Rhino) as a highly proactive house sitter in 1996. While still in matric in 1997, Herman was already closing weekend sectional title sales in Wilro Park, generating an independent income that required formal tax registration before he was permanently employed as a vital utility assistant in 1998. This early foundational exposure instilled a relentless work ethic and an intrinsic understanding of the West Rand property landscape.
Following a highly successful corporate retail tenure with Edcon from 1999 to 2007—during which he aggressively built his personal wealth by accumulating a private portfolio of 13 investment properties—Herman launched several highly successful independent ventures. As a seasoned entrepreneur, he achieved massive market penetration across the African consumer market, notably securing national supply chains into retail giants like Shoprite Checkers. Returning home to Harcourts Rhino in 2018 as a dedicated Candidate Property Practitioner, Herman is currently finalizing his NQF4 RPL qualifications ahead of his upcoming professional PDE examinations to achieve full-status registration.
Today, Herman has evolved into a dominant market force within both the sectional title markets of Honeydew, Wilgeheuwel, and Radiokop, as well as the high-value full-title residential sectors of Horison, Ontdekkerspark, Horison View, Honey Hills, and Carenvale. Beyond traditional private treaty sales, Herman has established himself as an elite specialist within the innovative Harcourts Non-Distressed Auction Platform. His phenomenal transaction volume and mastery of competitive bidding strategies were the primary drivers behind the Harcourts Rhino office securing an incredible 2nd Place Ranking Nationally across South Africa for auctions this past financial year.
Herman’s real estate precision has earned him top-tier status within the national network, resulting in consecutive Harcourts Multi-Platinum Awards for Sales, a prestigious induction into the Top 50 National Agents in South Africa two years in a row, and the coveted Harcourts Blue Pin for Outstanding Turnover. Whether leveraging the transparency of the luxury auction block or utilizing Harcourts Rhino’s premium Sole Mandate model, Herman treats every listing like a high-performing business asset, providing local homeowners with razor-sharp, data-driven Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) reports to protect their equity and extract peak market premium.
