Christo Swanepoel
Partner & Broker
Running IPG-Belize combines three of my biggest passions. People, real estate and travel. First and foremost, real estate is a people business, and it gives me great pleasure to match clients to their perfect properties and make the process as simple as possible for them.
I have always had a love of the real estate industry. From the start of my career in the UK 18 years ago, experiencing different aspects of the industry from architecture, design, living spaces, and the rental market to property management, a passion was ignited that has only grown stronger through the years.
After travelling as much of the globe as possible, Placencia village is the only place that feels like home for me. From the friendly people, great food, to the amazing scenery and the ‘island-style’ living, Placencia ticks all the boxes. Being able to run a business and contribute to the local village economy while still being able to get into the ocean for a dive or a snorkel during my working week is the work life balance that gives meaning to my life.
With IPG, my team and I take an honest, fresh approach to brokering property in Belize. We know that what we are selling is more than just a property, we are selling a lifestyle and forging professional relationships with our clients that often turn into long term friendships. Being able to help people make informed decisions and enjoy the experience of investing in our Caribbean paradise is the vision of IPG that I am proud to fulfil daily.

Sales Agent
“13 years ago my husband and I sailed into Placencia from 15 years working in the Eastern Caribbean and around the world, and Immediately Found HOME. Belize, and in particular Placencia Peninsula ticked every box. Within a month we bought our first of 4 properties; and have run the gamut of renovating/building/selling/renting out short & long term real estate while also running the operations for a charter liveaboard sailing company and raising our family.
If you have questions about Living/Working/Building/ Adventuring in Belize, I’ve experienced the answers! I’m known for my honesty and candor; I became a realtor since we live here full time, we want Happy Neighbors! Belize isn’t perfect, nowhere is, and I want you to start your life here on the right foot with open eyes and appreciative perspective; not angry because someone made a quick buck by lying to you.
I switched to IPG because the team has the same work hard live happy ethic. We can sell all over Belize, working well with any company; so will be open minded about which properties are Best for YOU. I’ve been all over Coastal Highway 3 times this month alone; and today started with monkeys above, and ended with 4wd up a riverbank! What adventure will we go on together??”
