Testimonials

What They Say About Stefan

“Too often we find that experts are either great writers or great speakers—rarely do we find both in one incredibly talented and passionate person. Swanepoel is that rare breed that gives you the total package. Make sure you experience the brilliance that is Stefan.”

Wendy Lipton-Dibner

Bestselling Author

“If you want a ‘high-impact’ speaker, you want Stefan Swanepoel. Stefan will grab them with his energy and keep them on the edge of their seats waiting to hear what he says next. His material is always fresh and up to date. We hired him on many occasions to speak about technology to state, national, and international audiences—and we’ll hire him again!”

Janet Branton

Global Business and Alliances

“We had our annual leadership training event last week to start off our new year with a keynote address from Stefan Swanepoel. I normally don’t promote speakers, but Swanepoel did a really great job. First time in my years at SCR that not a single negative comment was registered!”

Nick E. Kremydas

CEO, South Carolina Realtors

“Thanks again for making our event such a smash success! The feedback that we have received from our sales associates has been overwhelmingly positive—you gave them so much to contemplate and, at the same time, be proud of. Your vision was both optimistic, yet sobering—precisely what the moment demanded. It was a home run!”

Jim Schiefelbein

VP, Baird & Warner

“Stefan has an unbelievable ability to communicate where we are—and, more importantly, where the real estate industry is headed. His presentation at the RealtyU Annual Leadership meeting impressed the presidents of 40 of America’s leading education and training organizations enough to give him a standing ovation.”

Don Harlan

Partner, Harlan, Lyons & Associates

“Words cannot express my excitement concerning the experiences at the NAR convention. I had the distinct pleasure of attending three of your superb presentations. As usual, I received lots of new and different insight into all aspects of e-business. You continue to amaze me with your incredible depth of knowledge.”

Jim Sherry

President, Innovative Solutions, Inc.

“The T3 Summit was fantastic—a home run, the event by which all other events will be measured this year. The lineup was particularly impressive, as was Stefan’s stamina in interviewing for over three hours. In all my years of real estate, I’ve never seen that much star power packed into a half-day.”

Errol Samuelson

Chief Officer, Zillow Group

“Stefan is an engaging and energizing speaker with his finger on the pulse of the real estate industry. He conducts extensive research and truly understands the trends that have and are expected to impact our industry. Furthermore, Stefan is able to demonstrate to delegates how they can use that information to be more successful in the future.”

Pam O’Connor

CEO, Leading Real Estate

“Swanepoel is part entertainer, part evangelist, and part visionary. While some speakers use a presentation to toss out a few good ideas, Swanepoel shoots them out like a machine gun. Don’t bring paper to take notes—bring a tape recorder.”

Charles M

Dahlheimer, Author

“Many thanks for your fabulous gift to our members—I found your content to be clear, informative, well-sequenced, and thoroughly entertaining. The compelling visuals and engaging vignettes made the event everything I had hoped for and more.”
