GoldClub status and the ‘Hall of Remarkable’ recognition is awarded to an Agent who has achieved exceptional sales targets and delivered service excellence in line with the Pam Golding Properties brand promise.

With passion and dedication, I have been successful in achieving similar results for many years.

I commenced sales with Pam Golding in 2001, and have been GoldClub status and Elite for the past 22 years

Achievements  -  Eastern Cape, Northern Cape & Garden Route

  • 2024 - GoldClub Agent  GoldClub Elite in Hall of Remarkable.
  • 2024 Second Runner Up - Exclusive Mandates | Highest Value
  • 2024 Second Runner Up - Agent of the Year | Residential | Category B Franchise
  • 2023 Second Runner Up - National Agent of the Year | Residential - Category B Franchise

My last 20 years, with passion and dedication, reflect the achievements as set out above.

I am a qualified Franchisee with NQF5 and PDE (MPRE). I’ve successfully been selling in the Knysna and Plett area since 2001, when I was introduced to the real estate profession. I achieved GoldClub status already in the 2nd year, and successfully maintained that status, even after purchasing the Franchise in 2009, and then acquiring Plettenberg Bay in 2013. I sold the franchise in 2019, and currently enjoy my full selling status again as an Elite GoldClub Agent with Pam Golding.

I love this profession; it is dynamic and exciting. Working for PGP, always ‘ahead-of-the- Game’, keeps me motivated, informed and proud. I love the people I meet, and I love the challenge of finding clients their “SPOT in the sun”.

I have journeyed through the university of LIFE travelling and working extensively abroad in different walks of life. I am a well-experienced, successful and knowledgable sales agent and have achieved many sales here in the Knysna and Plett areas, such as one of the Noetzie Beach castles, as well as iconic sales on the Pezula Private and Golf Estates, Simola, as well as various hospitality properties. 

I have been selling on Pezula Private Estate since the launch in 2003 with the developer Keith Stewart.  I have been successful in sales and carry mandates currently on the web.

All PGP Exclusive Mandates are well exposed on our own website, Savills, and many other portals, such as Prop24 etc.  I have a very strong marketing awareness on all social media pages targeted to reaching the ‘right’ client base.

I have lived and experienced so many different walks of life such as working for myself, as well as Manufacturing, Public Relations, Cosmetics, Travel & Sport.  This has rewarded me with a keen perspective and insight to knowing and understanding the human psyche, to have empathy, tenacity and the power of communication with clients.

One of my passions over the last years, was establishing the Knysna Literary Festival. Linking the local community and all visitors to the rich tapestry of well-known South African authors.  I founded the Pam Golding Knysna Literary Festival, now running in its 10th year, and have been nominated year after year for BASA awards.

When I am not engrossed in property, I walk, read, travel and enjoy entertaining, and holidays in the bush.

Our current project this year has been taking the quest of Mandela Day for the community with the Knysna Educational Trust, establishing a love for reading amongst young students  -  our future is in the hands of the little children.

Testimonials

"Ling is extremely competent & professional. We became good friends and it was never a question who to approach when we decided to sell our property last year, we immediately contacted Ling to market it for us. We received excellent service and she concluded the sale of our house. The entire process was handled very professionally, with great care and everything went smoothly."

Lyndsey Viljoen

"Ling has always conducted herself very professionally, efficiently and ethically. She has shown patience in the presence of demanding clients whilst never failing to exude enthusiasm for her product."

Dick Aubin

"Ling went out of her way, no other agent did this for us. Picked us up at George airport and asked if we were tired? As the number one house on our list had an offer and she wanted us to see it now. We love Ling, she is a true friend. Not the ordinary Agent. She went beyond call of duty. She was and is always available. She is THE Rock Star of Real Estate Agents."

Fatti Varnier-Blake

"My wife and I met Ling and she was very pleasant to work with from day one. What surprises us was the scope of services Pam Golding offers after sale when we had some problems with the money transfer from Europe to SA and finding a long term tenant for the first 2 years. We felt safe with her as our partner in the process. I would recommend any if buying and selling a home."

Dieter and Sabine Schukai

"Our dealings with you in specific have been most pleasurable and we can only highly recommend you to potential new buyers or sellers. It is rare in this day and age to find the type of service, dedication and attention you have given us and it has been a privilege dealing with you. Be assured that should we ever intend to sell our new home, you will be our first port of call."

Alex and Ren Catania

"It was a pleasure and a privilege, thank you!"

Deon Meyer

"You've got a fabulous festival. There's a genuine love of literature, and an appreciation of writers which I think everyone feel so they're all happy and in return giving of their best. You have the advantage of being a stress free festival. There’s an intimacy and warmth which is rare, I hope you can maintain that in years to come."

Rahla Xenouplos

"Huge congratulations on the event being such a success this year, you all deserved such a brilliant response."

Sarah Graham

"I thoroughly enjoyed the level of debate at this year's Knysna Literary Festival. The recipe is a clear winner: beautiful scenery, provocative words and great food and wine. I will have to write another book to be invited again."

Adriaan Basson

"KLF is creative and the format is innovative, with the opportunity to mingle with other free thinkers. The KLF in my opinion will soon be the literary fest that any worthy author worth his salt will want to be present at."

Riaan Manser
