Olympic gold medalist Roland Schoeman brings elite focus, discipline, and high-performance mindset to Arizona real estate. Discover how his journey from world-class athlete to trusted real estate advisor helps clients succeed.
Arizona real estate is fast-paced, competitive, and full of moving parts. You need someone who can stay calm under pressure, perform at a high level, and deliver results when it matters most. For me, that mindset was forged long before I ever walked into an open house or negotiated a deal.
I’ve represented South Africa at five Olympic Games. I’ve stood on the podium, broken world records, and competed at the highest level in the world. That experience taught me lessons I carry with me into every real estate transaction.
Let me show you how.
Discipline Wins in Both Arenas
Training for the Olympics requires extreme discipline. Early mornings. Repeating the same strokes thousands of times. Tracking every detail for the smallest edge.
Real estate is the same. Behind every successful sale is discipline, researching the market, analyzing comps, staying ahead of trends, and doing the work long before the offer is ever written. It’s not glamorous, but it’s what separates a good agent from a great one.
Pressure Is a Privilege
I know what it feels like to have the world watching, waiting for your performance. That kind of pressure sharpens your focus. It teaches you to stay calm and execute, no matter what.
In real estate, the stakes are high. A home isn’t just a purchase. It’s someone’s future. I bring the same focus I had on the starting blocks to every client I work with. You want someone who doesn’t fold when the pressure hits. I’ve spent my life performing when it counts.
Results Matter
At the Olympic level, there’s no hiding. You’re either fast enough, or you’re not. That mindset still drives me.
When you list your home with me, or trust me to help you buy, I treat your goals like they’re my own. I study every angle of the market, look for creative solutions, and make sure you’re positioned to win, not just participate.
It’s Always a Team Effort
Even in individual sports like swimming, no one gets to the top alone. You need great coaches, trusted support, and a clear game plan. I’ve built my real estate business the same way. Whether it’s lenders, inspectors, stagers, or contractors, I’ve built a network you can trust. We all work together to get you to the finish line.
But Real Estate Isn’t a Pool
There are things the Olympics didn’t prepare me for.
This business is deeply emotional. People are making life-changing decisions. I had to learn how to slow down, listen, and be there for people in a way that’s completely different from sports.
Marketing was another curveball. In swimming, the clock does the talking. In real estate, you have to tell your story, build trust, and connect with people long before you ever meet in person. It pushed me to get better, get more visible, and show the same consistency offline and online.
Why This Matters for You
If you’re buying or selling a home in Arizona, you want someone in your corner who’s been tested. Someone who knows what it takes to perform under pressure. Someone who treats your goals like gold.
That’s what I do. Every day.
Whether you’re moving to Paradise Valley, investing in Scottsdale, or selling a home in Phoenix, I bring the same focus, preparation, and intensity that took me to the Olympic podium.
Let’s work together.
