In May, Jasmin, Alex and Sam travelled to the Gold Coast to attend AREC25—Australia’s premier real estate conference. Across two intense days, we were immersed in the insights of the world’s top performers in real estate, elite sports, hospitality, entrepreneurship and personal mastery.
Here’s a glimpse of what we experienced and the mindset shifts we’re bringing back to benefit our clients and community:
Mark Mathews – Red Bull Athlete & Big Wave Surfer
Mark’s powerful message focused on courage in the face of fear, teaching us how to reframe setbacks as growth opportunities. His story of recovery after a career-threatening injury reminded us that resilience and adaptability are essential in both life and property.
Robin Banks – Global Mind Power Expert
Robin delivered an electrifying keynote on personal mastery, energy management, and the power of intentional mindset. His practical strategies will influence how we handle negotiations, challenges and client outcomes with greater focus and positivity.
Tim Grover – Coach to Michael Jordan & Kobe Bryant
Tim taught us the psychology behind elite performance—why relentless standards, mental toughness, and clarity of purpose separate good from great. It reaffirmed our commitment to excellence for every vendor we serve.
Steven Bartlett – Host of The Diary of a CEO
Steven shared future-focused strategies from the world’s fastest-growing podcast and his experience investing in over 40 global companies. His message: Storytelling builds trust. This will influence how we market your property and connect with today’s high-conviction buyers.
Will Guidara – Author of Unreasonable Hospitality
Will’s session was a standout. He challenged us to deliver service that goes beyond what’s expected—to create memorable, meaningful moments in every client experience. It’s a principle we’re embedding across our campaigns.
Mauricio Umansky – CEO of The Agency
Mauricio offered insight into building a world-class brand and leading teams across 133 offices globally. His advice on premium client service and global positioning has reinforced our focus on delivering the Danckert Difference at every touchpoint.
Clayton Orrigo – Compass NYC Power Broker
Clayton spoke about high-performance real estate teams, systems, and data-led marketing in New York’s ultra-competitive market. His approach to consistent deal flow and deep market control inspired us to continue refining how we serve Mt Martha’s prestige property sector.
Agent Standouts: Adrian Oddi, Tony O’Doherty, Oliver Lavers
We also drew immense value from some of Australia’s top agents. Tony’s transparent approach to negotiation, Oliver’s drive and early success, and Adrian’s reputation for referral-based business gave us renewed ideas for growth and service excellence.
Our time at AREC wasn’t just inspiring—it was transformative. We return with sharper tools, deeper perspective, and a renewed commitment to delivering premium results. Whether you’re buying, selling, or simply staying informed, you can expect elevated expertise, energy and care from the Danckert team—because growth is only valuable when it serves others.
