Carla Van Der Merwe
Walzel Properties - Spring
About Carla

I am a real estate agent committed to help you find your next home, not just a house. I am South African by birth and American by choice. We moved in 2001 and I decided to put my career on hold and become a full time mother. We had two children when we decided to adopt another child - giving me 3 mommy degrees (a.k.a children) and 2 legal degrees. When the kids were old enough I re-entered the job market as a substitute teacher. When we relocated from Colorado to Houston in 2018 I decided to pursue a career in real estate .

Whether you are buying or selling, leasing or investing - I am COMMITTED to YOU. My passion for helping people stems from my own experience with moving and I remember all to well the stress associated with that. We are all on our own journey - but let me help to make yours an enjoyable and memorable one. Current Memberships include:
National Association of Realtors
Texas Association of Realtors

    Working with Rose Marie Bredeson was wonderful! My wife and I are incredibly pleased with her and cannot wait to refer friends to her. She has now helped buy the 4th house in my family, she truly is a wonderful person and realtor. Always had my best interest as a top priority. AlfredS

    She was AMAZING! It was a complicated sale and she was so professional! I could not have asked for more. She went above and beyond and didn't give up. PjMonroe

    Again I have used Rose Marie Bredeson several times as my realtor and am quite pleased with the professional service she provides me. She has been doing this a long time and really knows the business. R. McSpadden

    This was a relocation property that came to me (I work for a relocation company). Rose Marie was the agent assigned. I could not have gotten this transaction closed without her. She was wonderful! Very on top of things, proactive, detailed and patient with all of the internal processes we had to deal with. I would definitely like to work with her again on another relocation transaction. RELOCATION COMPANY

    She went above and beyond in every aspect of marketing our home. She gave us great tips on getting our home ready to show, put together a beautiful flyer with photographs for the 'take one' box on the for sale sign, thoroughly and carefully explained all the paperwork associated with listing our home and kept us informed at all times. Her professionalism, marketing skills and amiable demeanor made it an absolute pleasure for us to work with her. M. and C. Nickel

    Rose Marie Bredeson did a great job of understanding our needs and meeting those needs in a very professional and timely manner. This was my best experience at buying a home because of her knowledge and attention to detail made it that way. She is one of the best realtors I have had the pleasure of working with. T. Trahan
