In a poignant moment for the real estate industry, the passing of Chris MacLeod this past February has left a void that is felt deeply by all who knew him. A distinguished figure, mentor, and visionary, MacLeod's life and contributions continue to resonate in the hearts of those he inspired and guided.
A stalwart of the Constantia real estate scene, MacLeod will be remembered for his pioneering work in subdividing Constantia, which was predominantly farmland in 1964 when his father Roderick MacLeod established the firm of Roderick MacLeod and Son in the original Constantia Shopping Centre.
Mike Greeff, CEO of Greeff Christie's International Real Estate, paid tribute to his dear friend and mentor. "Chris MacLeod was not just a real estate professional; he was a mentor, a visionary, and a cherished friend to many, including myself. His dedication, innovative thinking, and tireless work ethic have left an enduring mark on the property industry," Greeff remarked.
Greeff added, “I am profoundly grateful for the wisdom and inspiration Chris shared with me while I was finding my feet in the real estate industry. His pioneering spirit not only shaped the local real estate landscape but also influenced the broader industry through his expertise and willingness to impart knowledge."
Chris MacLeod's contributions have left a permanent mark on the Constantia real estate scene and continue to impact the industry at large. His legacy will shine on in the hearts of those who knew him and in the thriving communities he helped build.
As we say our final farewell to an amazing man and a true leader in the real estate world, our thoughts and deepest condolences go out to Chris's family and loved ones during this time of remembrance. His memory will be cherished, and he will be greatly missed but never forgotten.
