PRINCEVILLE, HI, October 01, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Stefan Swanepoel has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are chosen on the basis of their current reference value. Criteria such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are carefully considered during the selection process.

Mr. Swanepoel has built a distinguished career in the real estate industry, marked by nearly five decades of leadership and innovation in research and trend forecasting. After serving for 25 years as chief executive officer and president of T3 Sixty LLC, he has, for the past three years, held the role of executive chairman. In this capacity, he guides company strategy, mergers and acquisitions, and national projects while working with both private and public companies. Under his leadership, T3 Sixty has become the leading management consulting firm for the residential real estate sector.

In 2006, Mr. Swanepoel introduced the Swanepoel Trends Report, which quickly established itself as a trusted annual resource for brokers and executives. This year celebrating its 20th edition, this publication has provided forward-looking analysis to help decision-makers navigate a constantly changing market. In 2014, he launched the Swanepoel Power 200 (SP 200), the first formal ranking of the most powerful and influential leaders in residential real estate. By setting benchmarks for leadership influence, the SP 200 offered the industry a clear view of where decision-making authority resides. The following year, he authored the DANGER Report—Definitive Analysis of Negative Game Changers Emerging in Real Estate—which identified critical risks such as technology disruptions, shifting consumer preferences, and regulatory changes. Many of these developments have since materialized, reinforcing his ability to anticipate the industry's future trajectory.

Mr. Swanepoel's journey began far from the boardrooms of American real estate. Born in Nairobi, Kenya, he spent his formative years in Hong Kong and South Africa, experiences that shaped his global perspective and sparked a lasting interest in business, technology, and international trends. He earned a Bachelor of Science in quantity surveying from the University of Pretoria in 1981 and a Master of Commerce in business economics from the University of Johannesburg in 1990. He also pursued multiple postgraduate diplomas in South Africa and further studies at the University of California, broadening his academic foundation and reinforcing his commitment to lifelong learning.

Before immigrating to the United States in 1994, Mr. Swanepoel had already begun writing about the evolving nature of the real estate business. Four years after his move, he launched the "Real Estate Confronts" series, a decade-long collection of books and white papers offering clear insights into the future of the industry. These works addressed technology's impact and changing consumer behavior and earned widespread respect for their direct, well-researched content. By helping professionals understand and prepare for emerging trends, the series contributed to reshaping the residential real estate landscape and the home-buying and selling process.

Throughout his career, Mr. Swanepoel has authored more than 55 books and reports, making him one of the most published real estate authors in United States history. His works have earned numerous honors, including the Robert Bruss Real Estate Book Gold Award and several Silver and Bronze Medals from the AXIOM Business Book Awards. Demonstrating versatility as an author, he achieved national bestseller status in 2011 with Surviving Your Serengeti: 7 Skills to Master Business and Life. This work appeared on more than 20 bestseller lists, including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and Amazon, and further showcased his ability to reach audiences beyond the real estate field.

He attributes his success to maintaining a clear plan, focusing on well-defined goals, executing details effectively, and consistently upholding ethical standards. Away from his professional achievements, Mr. Swanepoel who lives in Hawaii, values a quiet personal life and treasures time with his wife, children, and grandchildren. His career exemplifies leadership grounded in insight and purpose. Through decades of research, publishing, and strategic advisory work, he has shaped how the real estate industry thinks, operates, and prepares for the future. His extensive body of analysis and guidance has informed key decisions for brokerage leaders, executives, and industry stakeholders, establishing benchmarks for innovation and growth. His contributions continue to provide professionals at every level with clarity and direction, offering a steady compass in a market that is constantly evolving.
