Cape Town - Gerlinde Moser, broker/owner of RE/MAX Living in Cape Town’s City Bowl and Atlantic Seaboard is the first real estate professional within Southern Africa to be awarded the Luminary of Distinction, the highest distinction of three career awards given by RE/MAX International.
She is one of only two people outside of North America and Canada to receive the award.
The career requirements of the award include a minimum of 20 years’ service with RE/MAX.
Associates who receive the award must also have already received both a Hall of Fame and Lifetime Achievement awards. Currently, only 55 people in the world have received the award, a mere 0.05% of the over 100 000 strong RE/MAX network around the globe.
Adrian Goslett, regional director and CEO of RE/MAX of Southern Africa, describes Moser’s achievement as remarkable.
While she had been a successful real estate business owner in her own right, Gerlinde encountered the RE/MAX brand in the US on her travels around the world.
Coming from a more traditional real estate setup, she liked the different type of business model the brand offered real estate professionals – one of the first of its kind in the industry.
When the brand finally made it to South African shores in 1995, Moser became one of the first to join as a founding broker/owner.
“The RE/MAX brand had an international presence that could be used as a tool to enhance my business - from Alaska to China and from South Africa to Vienna," said Moser.
"As a business owner in this industry, it is also rewarding to see my agents be successful in a profession that is highly demanding.”
Outside of her real estate endeavours, Moser promotes the importance of the community building philosophy.
