MOB BOSS SECRETS of Luxury Real Estate

Insider Strategies from Calgary’s Donnas of Luxury Real Estate

This is not a motivational seminar.
This is a strategy room.

Mob Boss Secrets is an intimate, panel-style event designed for Realtors who know the game is changing and that spring is shaping up to be fiercely competitive.
Reputation is currency. Relationships are leverage. And the ones who win are rarely playing solo.

This event brings together some of Calgary’s most respected women in luxury real estate for a candid, high-level conversation about what it really takes to build a lasting business in a market that rewards confidence, clarity, and connection.

Expect real stories, sharp strategy, and unfiltered insight from these industry pros who have built powerful brands the hard way. No fluff. No posturing. Just lessons earned.

The format is a moderated panel followed by live Q&A, giving you direct access to the thinking, decisions, and mindset behind their success.

Tanya Eklund
Collaboration over competition. Tanya will share how choosing partnership instead of rivalry shaped her career, and what she has learned from building a successful luxury business from the ground up in a demanding market.
Kaitlyn Gottlieb
The luxury "look" from the inside out. Kaitlyn will unpack how true luxury branding starts long before the photoshoot, and how mindset, consistency, and alignment translate into a polished presence clients trust.
Ruth Alexander
Reinvention with resolve. Ruth will speak candidly about starting over with a new career at 48, rebuilding from zero, and rising from the bottom to the top. A real look at resilience, risk, and betting on yourself when the stakes are real.

Kristi Rookes
Community as strategy. Kristi will discuss how building a business rooted in genuine connection and community impact creates loyalty, longevity, and a brand people want to stand behind.

Mariangela Avila
Breaking through on camera and beyond. Mariangela will touch on how video marketing transformed her business, how she built her brand on film, and why showing up consistently is now essential, not optional.

Every panelist (as well as the moderator) are juggling motherhood, busy family lives, a team of top talent, and are committed to building full-scale businesses.
How do they do it all without dropping the ball or burning out?

Renee is going to get to the bottom of it.

Mortgage boss, savvy real estate investor, and powerhouse podcaster, Renee Huse will lead the conversation, ask the questions everyone is thinking, and keep the dialogue sharp, relevant, and unapologetically useful.

You will be welcomed with a French 75, served in true mob boss fashion. Champagne first. Questions later.

Dress like you mean business. Faux fur or Grandma’s vintage fur. Leather welcome. Old money energy encouraged.

Shameless photo ops, a lot of laughs, and a room full of Realtors who understand the grind and still know how to have fun doing it.

The spring market is shaping up to be fiercely competitive, deals are already tight, and you are going to be running into each other 'out there' in the business. Knowing the people across the table, being familiar, and having real rapport can be the difference between a deal that stalls and one that closes clean.

This event is just as much about connection as it is about strategy. Rubbing elbows with the family matters. Familiar faces build trust. Trust closes deals.

This is a room where alliances are formed, respect is built, and conversations carry forward long after the last handshake.

Seats are intentionally limited. Tickets are non-refundable to guarantee access and commitment, but they are fully transferable if plans change.
