Meyer Swanepoel

Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, Meyer Swanepoel was a professional Rugby player and Real Estate TV Personality that relocated to sunny San Diego.

Before turning his passion for buying and selling Real Estate into his full-time profession, he had an illustrious Rugby career that took him all over the world. Starting at the age of 18, he signed his first professional contract and continued to compete for over a decade — including a 5 year period in Treviso, Italy where he played for a club owned by fashion giants United Colours of Benetton.

Meyer not only speaks Afrikaans and English but due to his time living in Italy, is fluent in Italian. His love for travel and languages has helped him tremendously in his international Real Estate sales approach.

Post Rugby career, Meyer entered the Real Estate world and immediately flourished. In his first year, he was awarded “New Agent of the Year” and closed record sales in all of Cape Town. In his first year in business, Meyer used his competitive nature as a professional athlete to his advantage and became Sales Manager for one of Cape Town’s largest brokerages.

Fast forward 5 years to 2018 when Meyer opened the doors to his very own boutique Brokerage, based in the heart of Cape Town, which still flourishes and continues to see some of the biggest sales in the city.

Meyer met his now-wife, Kiersten, an American ex-pat living in Cape Town. She runs one of the leading travel blogs in the world (The Blonde Abroad) which has allowed them to travel to some of the most amazing places on the globe together. In doing so, he has expanded his clientele and network around the world.

Meyer lives in the coastal neighbourhood of Point Loma, San Diego with his wife and adorable doodle Bailey. He services the entire county of San Diego and prides himself in his ability to serve his client's needs nationally and internationally.
