Riaan Grobbelaar transitioned into real estate professionally in 2024, bringing with him a strong foundation in property investment, rental management, and client-centred service. Having built and managed his own portfolio of investment and rental properties, he understands property as a strategic tool for long-term and generational wealth creation.

Riaan specialises in auction-based property sales and has garnered recognition as an auction specialist, applying structured, data-driven strategies to achieve decisive outcomes in competitive market conditions. His academic background in psychology, combined with experience in the health industry, tourism, and short-term holiday rentals, equips him to manage complex negotiations while keeping clients informed and confident.

Born and raised in East London, Riaan later studied in Cape Town and resided there until 2025, before returning to East London to introduce and expand the modern auction method in the local property market. This combination of local roots and exposure to larger metropolitan markets enables him to offer clients both deep local insight and a forward-thinking sales approach.

As a father of two young boys, Riaan understands the importance of finding the right environment for family life and is particularly attuned to the needs of families, homeowners, and investors alike. He adopts a person-centred approach, listening carefully and empowering clients to make well-considered decisions.
Known for his integrity, attention to detail, and transparent communication, Riaan is highly responsive and acts as a trusted advisor in every transaction. Outside of work, he enjoys the outdoors, camping, and supporting South African rugby.
