Technology is the new fighting ground for estate agency says Guild
Full disclosure through my other company Proptech-PR ‘A consultancy for Proptech Founders’ I act as a NED for nurtur.accelerator, so I have a commercial connection with The Guild. The main reason that I got involved with The Guild is that they fully understand agents need to modernise, but the hardest part is how to handle that transition. The Guild supplies that roadmap, so their agents can continue doing the day job.
Having been an agent for over 30 years, retiring in 2017, I realise that if I traded today, the biggest risk to my business would not be competitor agents taking market share, but tech enabled agents winning the business that I should have. Without a solution to this, many agents will fall behind as the tech savvy generation which is the general public of 2023, want fast, efficient operations that deliver their property needs in all verticals of real estate.
These comments come from the latest episode of The Home Stretch podcast from The Guild of Property Professionals.
‘In the latest episode of The Home Stretch Podcast, Iain McKenzie, CEO of The Guild of Property Professionals is joined by Richard Combellack, Chief Commercial Officer at nurtur.group, to discuss the importance of technology, evolution and innovation in the property sector.
Propertymark One Conference – ‘Raise your Game’
Nathan Emerson, Propertymark CEO, “Our conferences have grown substantially, and as the only body to represent all agents we are chomping at the bit to bring them together in one massive event. Those who join Propertymark are united in their desire to do an exceptional job.
Our labels represent different practices, but quite simply, we represent all agents who have a drive to be the best version of themselves and a hunger to succeed. We are unifying the best industry talent under one roof.”
The first Propertymark One Conference brings the experience of ARLA Propertymark Conference and Exhibition at Excel London, the pedigree of NAEA Propertymark National Conference, together with the specialist networking of the NAVA Propertymark Forum.
