More about Carel

I’ve just returned to South Africa after six years in the Netherlands, and am excited to pursue my dream of making a difference as a realtor. With a background as a part-time comedian, my goal is to bring “Joy and Positivity” into the world, one laugh at a time. As an enthusiastic, caring, and loyal individual, I am dedicated to excellence and genuinely enjoy helping people. I believe in an open-door policy and am eager to meet new people, learn about their cultures, and build meaningful relationships. I view myself as a lifelong student, always taking full accountability for my actions and my life.

In both business and life, I prioritise ethical behaviour and professionalism, with a strong focus on my clients and their needs.

I understand that the property market can be challenging, but I am committed to ensuring a seamless and smooth process for you, as I might be selling a house, but you are buying a “Lifetime Home”. Respect and integrity are central to how I interact with everyone around me.

I look forward to meeting YOU and working together!
