I’m passionate about two things: working with people and helping them achieve their real estate dreams. Since starting my real estate journey in 2003, I’ve been fortunate to build a career that brings me joy every day. As a qualified Property Practitioner and Principal of a national franchise estate agency in Wilderness since 2013, I’ve combined my love for property, people, and community into a deeply fulfilling profession.

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve developed a thorough understanding of the local property market, sharpened my negotiation skills, and refined a detail-driven approach that ensures every buyer and seller receives expert, ethical guidance. The strong relationships I’ve built—with local and international clients alike—are the foundation of my success. Many have become repeat clients and personal friends who continue to enrich my life and business.

I’m also passionate about developing people—supporting both my dedicated team and the broader Wilderness community. Creativity plays a big role in my work too. Whether it’s through remodelling, renovating, or styling properties, I love uncovering and enhancing the unique potential of every home. This passion has led to a growing portfolio of luxury seafront guesthouses in Wilderness, which I’ve proudly helped bring to life.

At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to exceptional service, authentic relationships, and making every property journey a meaningful one.

Client Testimonials

My wife Moni and I have bought a house from Madelyn in Wilderness East 2 years ago and last year in March we immigrated here. The whole procedure as well as the caring were professional as well as very personal. There hasn't been anything which wasn't taken care of by Madelyn immediately and to our full satisfaction. Even at the time when we still resided in Germany without any direct handling possibility. You couldn't go wrong with her.

There are no words to express my huge gratitude to you for the advice you provided and for being so accommodating and responsive to all the requests regarding the property my husband and I have just purchased. I appreciate the timeliness and the detail of replies to the queries,  I was very nervous , and you helped to make this journey seamless and exciting
Lisa Schewitz
Buyer
I have recently sold my property in the Wilderness. Madelyn handled the rather protracted transaction (no fault of hers) in the most professional way. She was always polite; her approach was consistently respectful and her efficiency was excellent and accurate. She managed the seller / buyer relationship extremely well. 
Trevor Fish
Seller
Thank you so much Madelyn and Jorina for all your kindness, patience and help during our entire home buying transaction. It is highly appreciated.
Dana en Janett
Buyer
Our experience with Madelyn and her team at Jawitz Wilderness, for both property sales and purchases, as well as with our current rental portfolio management, has been exceptional. They consistently provide an outstanding service, with genuine care and professionalism, to make every transaction feel special and very personal. This dedication makes every interaction significantly better than what we've encountered with other agencies in the past.

It was during lockdown in April 2020 that my husband and I first got to know Madelyn.  We had been searching for a house in the Wilderness, Hoekwil area and came across a house in Hoekwil.  We were very interested in the house, and even though it meant that Madelyn had to go and take videos of the house inside and out to send to us as we were not able to travel down to come and look at houses, Madelyn went the extra mile and took loads of photos and videos to send to us.  Madelyn was very honest with us about the flaws in the house and even gave us the number of a builder that we could speak to about the flaws, everything that she did she was up front and very honest.  Madelyn helped us through the whole process of buying the property over the phone.  We only saw the property for the first time on the 29th of  September 2020 and it was everything and more that what Madelyn had promised.  I would only recommend Madelyn to assist with the buying of a property in this area, she is honest and is a person of her word and goes above and beyond to ensure that her clients are satisfied.  We have become very good friends and to this day Madelyn helps and assists us with getting to know people and the area.  Thank you Madelyn for helping us find our forever home and for being such a beautiful person.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Madelyn Köhler and her wonderful assistant Jorina from Jawitz Properties during the purchase of our home in Wilderness, South Africa-and we couldn't be happier! From the very beginning, Madelyn impressed us with her professionalism, deep knowledge of the area, and her genuinely caring and hands-on approach. She didn't just guide us through the process-she was personally invested in helping us find the perfect place, and she solved every challenge that came our way with calm efficiency and true dedication. Equally amazing was Jorina, whose behind-the-scenes support ensured that every document, detail, and deadline was perfectly handled. Together, they were a dream team-reliable, responsive, and committed to making our experience seamless and positive from start to finish. Thanks to their efforts, we're now proud homeowners, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had such an exceptional team by our side. It's rare to find professionals who combine expertise, heart, and service on this level. Thank you, Madelyn and Jorina, for helping us make Wilderness our home-you truly made our dream come true!

I have known Madelyn Kohler for 20 odd years now and for most of this time she has been an active estate agent in the Wilderness area.   On several occasions in the last 7 years or so I have been personally involved with her while she carried out her work as an estate agent.   I can confirm that Madelyn is conscientious, careful and very considerate in all her dealings with her clients.  She has always listened to her clients and noted their requirements and carried out her duties correctly and in terms of the Estate Agency Affairs Board requirements, and she also has always done this in a warm and loving manner.  I have never seen her to be commission driven or to let her opinions override those of her clients.  She has never failed to answer any correspondence directed to her.  Madelyn also handles her Estate Agency Affairs Board trust account in an exemplary manner.
