“AREC 2016 brought together visionaries who are shaping the real estate industry by disrupting the status quo. They’re the mavericks that think and do things differently, creating service excellence and elevating the perception of our industry.”

AREC set the bar high with big promises, grandiose statements and high expectations, And boy did it deliver.

This year was the biggest event we have seen from AREC to date. With over 70 exhibitors, 30 world-class speakers, a comprehensive program and over 4,000 people through the door, AREC had something to delight everyone’s taste.

We were spoilt for choice with the numerous products and services on the market, aimed to make the life of an Estate Agent all the much easier. As an exhibitor, we met and mingled with the very best; yet there were 5 businesses in-particular that stopped us in our tracks and made us want to share with you.
