“After a diverse career which included my being crowned as Mrs South Africa 2006 and Mrs Worldwide International 2007, opening my own modelling school, being a marketing manager and fundraiser as well as an entrepreneur, I embarked on a new journey and joined the property industry in 2012 – assisting clients to find their dream homes has given me tremendous joy.”
Annette Kasselman is the director and co-owner of RealNet Bloemfontein, and recipient of RealNet’s National Franchise of the Year with seven consecutive awards. “I have the joyous job of bonding with people and offering them my services in selling or buying a home for their family. Adding to this, I am also assigned to the marketing of the agency and promoting the business and the agents.”
“In my Real Estate career my defining moments include my first successful transaction; when I received the title of Rookie of the Year, followed by RealNet Properties’ Ambassador of the Year, and the special value awards when I received the ‘Making a difference’ award and the ‘Abundance’ value award. Actually, every successful transaction is a defining moment, when you manage to make dreams a reality for families,” says Kasselman.
Her other endeavours include being a Brand Ambassador for ENGO and Seamless1SA, which gives her the platform to live out her passion for charity, paying it forward, and giving hope to others. She also promotes the Bloem Rugby Academy on social media.
Her various career highlights include doing voice-overs and radio ads for OFM, opening a successful modelling academy called @Models, being a Free State Premier’s Award Nominee, being a finalist in SACBW Business Woman of the Year, getting crowned Mrs South Africa, as well as Mrs Worldwide in California, USA, to name a few.
At RealNet, they help fulfil people’s needs, dreams and aspirations and actually make a positive difference in someone’s life.
“This career also offered me the option of working flexi hours, giving me the time to spend with my family, next to the sports field or some leisure time. There is no greater satisfaction than that of a happy client’s expression on their face, walking into his dream home for the first time.”
Kasselman mentions that her faith and family keep her going as she knows that God would not have put her in this position if He didn’t have a plan for a successful outcome.
“You are never too old to learn. Work hard, if at first you don’t succeed – try and try again. Persevere and never give up. Be teachable,” she advises.
