Making connections is second nature for Ruchel Louis Coetzee, an elite agent with Douglas Elliman Luxury Real Estate. For 25 years, Ruchel has cultivated relationships and amassed enviable contacts throughout South Florida, having served as CEO of a multimedia production company and Editor in Chief of a national magazine. She now offers this unique access to her clientele as they search for their dream homes. 

“Ruchel clearly has an expertise and knowledge gained from extensive experience with human understanding and from compassionate interaction with people,” says a client from Holland & Knight LLP.

And this quote from her Seller, Canadian celebrity Michael Wekerle, whose iconic Anheuser Busch house she listed for $20 million listing and sold for $16,500 million within 8 months “Ruchel Coetzee, nee roo-shell cute-see, the most amazing salesperson! Integrity, perseverance, honor, and the most important – trust! My fave!”

In 2018, Ruchel joined Douglas Elliman Luxury Real Estate. By her second year, she was awarded the Leading Edge Award for the top 16% of agents company-wide. By her third year she was in the top 1% of agents company-wide and is now ranked one of the top 1.5% of Real Estate Professionals in the United States.

Through exhaustive research and sincere engagement with buyers and sellers alike, she consistently creates inroads to successful deals and keeps her finger on the region’s real estate pulse. Ruchel stops at nothing to help her clients sell or close on their homes, advise them on the South Florida real estate market, introduce them to community leaders, and/or find them the most trusted home and business professionals. She is also on the School Advisory Board for the City of Fort Lauderdale and has previously been a board member of numerous university and charity organizations, both nationally and internationally.
