Sakkie Kirsten

I have been a dedicated property practitioner since 1980, starting with my first sale of a 2-bed Simplex for R18 000.00 in Queenswood, Pretoria. Over the past 43 years, I have developed extensive expertise in commercial sales, development sales, and procuring land and farms for stakeholders.

I have a particular passion for working with our growing middle class, who I believe are the future of our economy and country. Helping them find their ideal properties is both a privilege and a joy for me.

My upbringing in athletics and long-distance running taught me discipline and perseverance, qualities that have been invaluable in my career. I am a passionate sports supporter, especially of my rugby team, the Blue Bulls. These days, I enjoy playing golf and hunting, as they allow me to connect with nature and appreciate the works of our Creator.
