If I Only Knew...

Dear Friend...As all of the elements of the ARPM Conference started to be formed, “if I only knew”, felt

like the right theme for this year’s event. I often reflect, as I am sure you do, on the world

that was real estate and property management on the day you started in the industry.

For me that was 23 years ago (I know you don’t believe it either!) Back then there was

so much to learn, so many interesting scenarios that would await me, and adventure to

be had.

Our industry has changed in many ways, and yet we hold on to facets of our business

that perhaps should have been discarded along the way.

Back in 1992, I never envisaged a world full of iPads, Video Conferencing, Direct Debit

Systems, SMS and so on… what will 2045 hold?

Imagine a world where you send a drone to do your inspection, or perhaps you will dial

into a video system embedded in a property. You may never meet a tenant again

with virtual tours and e-communication taking the place of the physical relationships we

hold dear today.

The office of the future may exist online, and have staff located across three continents.

Our fee structures and service offering may be multi-dimensional as new industry

players enter our field, disrupting life as we have known it.

ARPM 2015 brings to the fore the latest in technology, systems and resources locally

and abroad. Our speakers will test your thinking and challenge your daily routine. You

will be left questioning every element of your business and find your favourite statements

to be “why?” and “how?”.

If I only knew is not about reflecting on the past, but more showcasing if we challenged

our thinking sooner, if we were ready for the next frontier, our businesses may be more

robust than ever before, our client relationships stronger (even easier). All we need to do

is stop saying “If I only knew” and be open to the impossible.

I am so excited to welcome John Sweeney to our event, as our opening speaker he will

set the tone to remove the fear of the future and be open to a world of discovery.

I look forward to you coming on the journey with us at ARPM 2015.

Powerful People

As a principal and director of Raine & Horne Newtown since 1999, Gerard recognised the serious need for a proactive and progressive specialist real estate agency in the Inner West. Having founded his career in property management in 1986, Gerard understands from the coalface what his team experience each day and often he is right there with them working together to solve challenges daily.

Instrumental in growing Raine & Horne Newtown to more than 20 employees with a vision of further growth, Gerard knows that this cannot be done without the support of dedicated, committed people who together form a strong team. As a super office, servicing a diverse portfolio, healthy motivated culture is paramount to their success.

Jamie StephensDIRECTOR

Ballarat Property Groupwww.ballaratpropertygroup.com.au

Organic Growth is Possible

You’d be forgiven for thinking it wasn’t possible to physically achieve all that Jamie Stephens gets done in a day. Currently at over 1400 managements including organic growth of 900 managements in 4.5 years takes a huge amount of dedication and unrelenting effort. It’s not uncommon to find him working in the wee hours of the morning, or meeting with clients across the weekend. Some may say he is mad, but in the most you know he is motivated, and it’s paying off.

Jamie understands the challenges of operating a business from start up to super office, he has been at the coalface of real estate having spent time in residential sales as well as the various roles in property management. Launching the first property management only business in Ballarat in 2003 he knows what it is like to break the mould, challenging the consumer and the industry, and having joined forces and created Ballarat Property Group in 2010 he still decided to do it all again.

Mike O’HaganMR MINI MOVERS

Mini Moverswww.minimovers.com.au

Outsourcing Sucks

Raised on a Dairy Farm in New Zealand, at 18 Mike arrived in Australia with a few hundred dollars in his pocket and a pack on his back. Over the next 8 years he worked for 35 different employers. In his words “I’m a product of the many really bad, and the few good, employers I worked for”. He was influenced to “do it differently” in business.

After four years buying and selling goods as a second-hand dealer, the entrepreneur in Mike surfaced when he launched a short distance furniture removal business.

MiniMovers has evolved into an innovative market leader, growing from an initial investment of $200 and a Ute, to an annual turnover exceeding $23 million with over 320 employees. Now 22 years old, MiniMovers currently moves over 1200 homes and offices a week in Southeast Queensland, Melbourne and Sydney.

Through government sponsored assistance/mentoring programs Mike has helped hundreds of businesses, developing some very alternative views of the success factors that drive people and businesses.

Frank ValenticDIRECTOR

Advantage Propertywww.advantageproperty.com.au

Frank’s infectious enthusiasm for the real estate industry began over two decades ago when he started building his own property portfolio. It was a natural progression that he and his wife Michelle established Advantage Property Consulting.

Those who have seen Frank bidding on ‘The Block’ TV series or at auctions throughout Melbourne over the years would have witnessed his competitive instincts and energetic nature first hand. His wealth of experience and knowledge of the property market has resulted in him having purchased thousands of properties on behalf of clients. Many of whom, consistently refer and are repeat clients having built successful investment portfolios through Frank’s guidance.

Frank states, “The most essential role of a buyer’s agent is to ensure the client makes a well-informed, rather than emotional property purchase to safeguard their financial future. Whether the client is an investor or a home buyer, it is imperative to make smart decisions. A buyer’s agent ensures the purchaser has an independent representative on their side throughout the tedious property search, essential negotiation stage and then oversees the process through to settlement.

Perhaps there is only one other person that knows Rockend like Alister Maple-Brown and that is its founder Tony, both of whom were at the grand opening some 35 years ago. Entering the family’s business was not a natural step, after completing his BA in History and Political Science in both Australia and the United States Alister worked on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC followed by a role as an Analyst, Trainer and Business Development Manager in the worldwide sales division at Inktomi, a rapid growth software business in Silicon Valley, California.

Returning home, he joined the Rockend team formally in 2001, bringing a wealth of knowledge to the force that is Rockend. Understanding the business from all angles became paramount, and in 2010 it was time for Rockend to make the move into a cloud based system and with Alister at the helm, PropertyTree, Australia’s first cloud based property management solution was launched.

Since 2012, as CEO, Alister has lead a team of 155 Australia and New Zealand wide to service their 4000 offices utilising Rockend and Property Tree, dedicated to the development of innovative technology for the property industry.

Tim Sharp is an internationally acclaimed 25 year-old artist from Brisbane. Diagnosed with Autism at age three, his mother was told that she should “put him away and forget about him”. Ignoring this advice, Judy Sharp, a single mother of two young sons, instead tried everything she could think of to communicate with Tim, including drawing.

At age 11, Tim’s artistic talent developed to the point where he created his own super hero, Laser Beak Man. Tim’s creativity has seen him become the first person in the world with Autism to have his art turned into an animated television series screening on the ABC and internationally.

In 2012, a film about Tim was shown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. His art is sold to collectors from around the world and in 2012, Tim’s collaboration with a young rock band from Nashville Tennessee inspired a music festival raising awareness of Autism.

Tim, a finalist for the Young Australian of the Year, and soon to be published author and theatre production story, has his greatest fan by his side. Tim and Judy’s story is one of great love and inspiration.
