About Christine Appel

I’m Christine Appel, and for more than 20 years I’ve poured my heart into real estate. It’s a career that has shaped me, challenged me, and rewarded me in the most meaningful ways. As a Master Practitioner in Real Estate (MPRE), I’ve built my business on dedicated service, honest guidance, and relationships that last long after the sold sign goes up. One of the things I’m most proud of is how many clients come back to me again and again — and refer their friends and family. That kind of loyalty means the world to me. It tells me they trust my judgement, value my expertise, and feel truly looked after throughout the process. Nothing motivates me more than delivering that level of service, every single time. My Areas of Specialisation I specialise in lifestyle estates and premium residential pockets across Durbanville. These are the areas where I’ve built long-standing relationships, deep market knowledge, and a consistent track record of results. Lifestyle Estates: • Graanendal • Welgevonden Estate • Clara Anna Fontein Additional Core Areas: • Eversdal Heights • Vygeboom • Valmary Park I also service my clients in both Afrikaans and English, ensuring smooth communication and a comfortable experience for every client. My Professional Journey Before real estate, my career was wonderfully varied. I spent six years in Music Education, teaching and shaping young musicians. Then I moved into broadcasting, spending 12 years as a music program producer, announcer, and television producer. Managing daily broadcasts sharpened my organisational skills, taught me to stay calm under pressure, and strengthened my leadership abilities. I also built a successful part-time multi-level marketing business, growing a team of over a thousand people across Africa and the UK. That chapter taught me the power of mentoring, motivation, and working with people from all walks of life — skills that translate beautifully into real estate. What Inspires Me Outside of work, I’m a person with wide interests: • Music — especially classical recitals — still inspires me creatively. • Photography, which also supports the visual side of my real estate work. • Quality time with family and friends — those moments matter most. • Exploring the Western Cape: its wine estates, natural beauty, and rich culture. How I Work Staying ahead is important to me, so I continually update myself on market trends, technology, and industry regulations. My clients deserve informed, forward-thinking guidance — and I love delivering exactly that. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to serve my clients with excellence, integrity, and a personal touch, while making a positive impact in my community.
