The Australasian Residential Property Management Conference (ARPM) is the leading property management event in Australasia. Delegates benefit from the latest industry information, exposure to new business ideas and networking opportunities from industry colleagues.
The theme at this year’s APRM conference was
Connect, Engage, Empower.
It was all about combining old fashion values with a new techno feel to build great relationships. Delegates were encouraged to ‘remove the fear of the future, and embrace the necessities to stay relevant, to stay strong, to connect with our clients, engage in their life and empower us all to build the future that we desire’. (APRM)
The End of Month Angels’ team attended the conference and was fortunate to meet with some of the best and brightest in the industry.

Although not in attendance at APRM we would like to feature PRODOCOM as another stand out.
PRODOCOM
Finally, PRODOCOM is a cloud-based, simple to use, bulk messaging service for the professional modern day agency.
A quick and easy system including fully featured campaign tools to develop effective campaigns.
Of note, more and more real estate firms are using the PRODOCOM Mobile Marketing service as it is useful to notify buyers about new listings, upcoming auctions and open times. Property management teams can therefore send automated arrears and other notices to tenants.
