“My passion gives me boundless energy.”

Hello! My name is Mariël Burger, and I am the Area Branch Manager for Pam Golding Properties Cape Town North.

My journey in real estate has been anything but ordinary. While studying Dutch abroad in the early 2000s, I had the privilege of working as an Assistant Buyer for De Bijenkorf, a prestigious Dutch luxury retail brand. It was there that I was first introduced to the refined luxury lifestyle that fueled my passion for real estate. When I returned to South Africa, I seized the opportunity to transition into real estate sales, and it has been my focus ever since.

I began my career at a small family-owned agency before moving on to a medium-sized national agency. In 2007, I joined Pam Golding Property Group, where I specialized in sectional title and new developments in the City Bowl and Central Business District. From there, I progressed to specializing in luxury residential properties and developments on the Atlantic Seaboard before assuming my current position as Area Manager in 2022.

My strong work ethic and decades of experience have earned me the prestigious GoldClub 15 Year Elite status, as well as Emerald Circle status for 6 consecutive years at Pam Golding Properties.
However, I believe that building long-term client and work-team relationships is the most crucial aspect of my job. To achieve this as a manager, I prioritize active listening and understanding of my team's wants and needs. I am passionate about nurturing and developing those I work with.

In my personal life, I am a proud owner of a Welsh Terrier dog, and I am an advocate of embracing the quality outdoor lifestyle that Durbanville and its surroundings have to offer.

Working at Pam Golding Properties allows me to continue pursuing my passion for helping our family of clients find their ideal investment property or dream home. I firmly believe that the feeling of being at home and the sense of being in a beautiful space that nurtures you should extend beyond your front door. The Cape coastal and Winelands region's beauty and unique lifestyle have made me even more enamored with my surroundings, and I am grateful for the opportunity to enjoy it every day.

Live Remarkable.

“Mariel has a professional attitude and "attention to detail" approach to real estate which is why he has achieved Emerald Circle. We briefed Mariel to assist us in purchasing a property in Cape Town and from the minute we started our search, we felt supported and understood. We bought our property unseen and this was totally due to Mariel’s advice, guidance, and constant attention. Mariel’s approach is clear, decisive, and never forceful and we felt as though he was working solely with us on achieving our dream. Mariel is a highly intelligent, respected Estate Agent who takes his work very seriously, and the professional people he introduced to us we found to be similarly professional and unique in their services. They are a very commendable team and we salute their efforts and commitment.”

“Mariel, renewed our faith in estate agents! After taking 3 months to sell our first place, dealing with show houses every Sunday, and agents that just did not live up to their promises, Mariel sold our 2nd place in a week. Superb, honest service from beginning to end, he was always flexible and accommodating, and made a seemingly complicated process so painless.”
