Chantal Apple was raised on an island. Not a metaphorical one: a small fishing village on Maryland's Eastern Shore, where the cadence of the day was measured by tides, hulls, and watermarks on weathered pilings. The Chesapeake Bay isn't a market she studied; it's the rhythm she grew up to.
A career that started in 2000 on the docks she grew up walking, sharpened in a decade representing luxury estates with Sotheby's in Connecticut, and now anchored back home with Atlantic Shores Sotheby's International Realty.

Her story
A waterfront life, lived authentically.
Her appetite for the world has taken her far from those shores, from Australia to the fjords of Norway, but the Eastern Shore has always pulled her back. Home, for Chantal, has a temperature, a tide chart, and a fishing forecast.
2000
A career built on the water.
Licensed as a Maryland Realtor® since 2000, Chantal has spent more than two and a half decades building a distinguished career anchored in luxury waterfront properties. Her edge isn't only the transactions: it's where she comes from.
2006
A second chapter in luxury.
Chantal relocated to Connecticut and joined Sotheby's International Realty as a top-producing agent, specializing in luxury homes and estate properties. Across more than a decade, and through raising her two children, she refined the discipline of representing high-net-worth clients in a global brokerage where the standards are uncompromising.
2017
Home again, to the Bay.
She returned to Maryland, bringing that polish home. As an advisor with Atlantic Shores Sotheby's International Realty, The Apple Advantage is local expertise plugged into one of the world's most accomplished real estate networks.
Today
Beyond the deals.
Chantal is aspiring to obtain her private pilot's license, an aerial perspective to match the one she already has from the water. Away from the closing table you'll find her in a yoga class, on the water, riding horses, or in her studio painting marine wildlife.
Discretion. Market knowledge. A personalized rhythm matched to each client. Bespoke rather than industrial, and grounded in relationships that outlast any single transaction.
A moat most Realtors don't have
Built into the Eastern Shore.
Chantal helped manage her family's marine construction company, contributing to the development of some of the Mid-Atlantic's most recognized marinas. When her clients buy on the water, they're working with someone who understands what's under the dock, not just the listing on top of it.

Bulkheads. Rip-rap. Dock permits. It comes from the dock.
Communities she serves
Every town has its own tide.
From the Ocean City boardwalk and the quiet estuaries of Worcester and Wicomico to the Delaware beaches and the Chesapeake's harbor towns, every place trades on different fundamentals. Chantal serves them all, with the local knowledge to read each one and the global reach of Sotheby's behind her.
Automated estimates often miss the building, block, or neighborhood-specific factors that drive Eastern Shore pricing: waterfront proximity, seasonal demand, condo rules, rental history. Answer three quick questions and Chantal will prepare a local home value review.
No cost, no obligation to sell
Prepared by Chantal, not an algorithm
Waterfront and condo expertise
Is this an appraisal?
No. A local home value review is not an appraisal and does not constitute an official valuation. It is a market-informed estimate prepared by a local real estate professional based on local sales, property condition, and area-specific factors. For mortgage, tax, or legal purposes, you would need a licensed appraiser.
How accurate is the estimate?
A local home value review reflects current market knowledge and recent comparable sales. Accuracy improves materially when Chantal can review your property in person.
Do I have to sell?
No. Many homeowners request a home value review simply to understand where their property sits in the current market. There is no obligation to list, and you will not be pressured to do so.
What areas do you cover?
Chantal serves buyers and sellers across Maryland's and Delaware's Eastern Shore: Worcester, Wicomico, Somerset, Dorchester and Talbot County in Maryland and Sussex County in Delaware. That includes Ocean City, Berlin and Salisbury, the Delaware beach towns of Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach, Rehoboth Beach and Lewes, and Chesapeake harbor towns such as St. Michaels and Crisfield.
Where's the home?
When are you thinking of selling?
Where should Chantal send it?
A home value review prepared by a local real estate professional is not an appraisal and does not constitute an official valuation. Results vary.

We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Chantal! From the very beginning, she made the entire home-buying process feel easy, organized, and stress-free. She was always available to answer our questions, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping us find the right home—not just making a sale.
Chantal was patient, professional, responsive, and went above and beyond for us throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and willingness to advocate for us gave us complete confidence every step of the way.
Thanks to Chantal, we found a house we absolutely love, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she did to help make it happen. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home, we cannot recommend Chantal highly enough. She is truly exceptional at what she does, and we would work with her again without hesitation!
Chantal's replyThank you, Zach for that stellar review! I am so grateful to be able to do what I love and meet such amazing people like you and your family. It has been a true pleasure working with you and I wish you and your family many happy years in your beautiful waterfront home!

I just wanted to take a moment to publicly thank Chantal for everything she has done for us throughout our home-buying journey. What started with looking at one house eventually led us to the home we purchased, and through every step of the process she was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly supportive. She has gone above and beyond more times than I can count, often helping with things that were never technically part of her job. Buying a home can be stressful, but Chantal always made us feel like we had someone in our corner. She is organized, efficient, kind, and genuinely cares about her clients. She never made us feel rushed and always took the time to answer questions and help us work through decisions. By the end of this process, she felt less like our realtor and more like someone we had known for years. We are so grateful for all of her hard work, guidance, and friendship. If you're looking for a realtor who truly cares, I cannot recommend Chantal enough.
Chantal's replyThank you, Kim! It was my pleasure helping you buy your beautiful beach cottage. I look forward to a continued friendship!

Kim and I met Chantal in Ocean City, MD in late July 2025. Our first interaction was very positive, as Chantal is very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about the market in this area. Her sincere efforts to assist us with our inquiry, made this a pleasant and memorable experience. As a Realtor, Chantal was forthcoming and advocated for us during the negotiations with the Seller. During this entire process, she had our best interest at heart. She also provided qualified resources (Loan Officer) who was able to get our loan processed after the first company was unsuccessful. Chantal was an essential player in assisting us obtain our beach condo/investment property, and we are truly grateful to her for all the professional guidance, support, and patience during this process. She stood with us every step of the way. We are thrilled about our new property in Ocean City, and grateful to Chantal for helping us make one of our dreams come true. With gratitude, Yenny & Kim

I haven't worked with Chantal personally on a transaction just yet, but I've had the opportunity to interact with her professionally and have been very impressed with her communication and follow-up.

Chantal is great to work with and I definitely recommend her if you're looking to buy a house. The house I bought actually took us 5 months to close on as it caught on fire during our home inspection. So it was a very long process but Chantal kept us updated on everything along the way and did everything possible to keep everything moving along to finally be able to close!
