Sylvie K. Tabala is a property professional with LWP Properties, specialising in residential property across Wendywood, Gallo Manor and Morningside Manor in Sandton, Johannesburg. She works with both full-title and sectional-title properties, assisting clients looking to buy, sell or rent within these established Johannesburg suburbs.

Having grown up in Wendywood, Sylvie brings genuine firsthand knowledge of the community and its surrounding areas. Her connection to Wendywood gives her an understanding that extends beyond property alone — from the character of the neighbourhood to the needs of the people who choose to call the area home.

Sylvie brings an unusual combination of local knowledge and international professional experience to her real estate career. Before joining the property industry, she built a distinguished career in international relations and human resources, including serving as Assistant to the Ambassador at the Embassy of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Washington, D.C.

During her time in Washington, Sylvie was involved in high-level logistics and stakeholder coordination for events including the United Nations General Assembly and the US-Africa Leaders Summit. Her work earned her a Certificate of Appreciation from the US Department of State and developed the professionalism, discretion, organisation and attention to detail that she now brings to her property clients.

Fluent in both English and French, Sylvie is equally comfortable assisting local clients and people relocating to Johannesburg from abroad. Her international experience and understanding of different cultures allow her to communicate effectively with clients from a wide range of backgrounds.

Sylvie also holds an Honours degree in Psychology and has entrepreneurial experience as the founder of lifestyle brand KENDELA. Together, these experiences have strengthened her ability to listen carefully, understand individual needs and provide a highly personalised service.

At LWP Properties, Sylvie is focused on developing strong long-term relationships with homeowners, buyers, landlords and tenants across Wendywood, Gallo Manor and Morningside Manor. She believes successful real estate is about more than completing a transaction; it is about understanding the client, communicating clearly and being a trusted property resource throughout the process and beyond.

Whether you are considering selling a home in Wendywood, buying property in Gallo Manor, looking for a sectional-title property in Morningside Manor, renting in the area or relocating to Sandton, Sylvie is available to provide professional, personalised property assistance through LWP Properties.
