Sprift is leading the charge in proptech innovation – here is why?

Recently I caught up with Matt Gilpin Founder of ‘mighty’ Sprift and I asked him to explain to me why over 6,000+ agents trust his brand so much,

‘It is simple, we ensure that real estate professionals have the tools they need to succeed in a competitive market. As the demand for data-driven decision-making continues to grow, Sprift is poised to remain at the forefront of the real estate revolution.

In the rapidly evolving world of real estate, having access to accurate and comprehensive property data has become a crucial asset for professionals in the industry. In partnership with agents we are at the forefront of transforming how estate agents, mortgage brokers, and other property professionals access and utilize property information.

Our pioneering platform that aggregates, analyses, and presents detailed property data, offering a one-stop solution for real estate professionals who need reliable information at their fingertips. By sourcing data from trusted entities such as the Land Registry, Ordnance Survey, and local authorities, we deliver a wealth of property insights that enable professionals to make informed decisions and better serve their clients.

One of the standout features of Sprift is its ability to generate comprehensive property reports. These reports provide a deep dive into various aspects of a property, including its history, planning permissions, and local area statistics. For estate agents, this means being able to offer clients a thorough understanding of a property’s background and potential.

Sprift excels at consolidating data from multiple sources, including property valuations, ownership history, planning applications, and details about nearby amenities such as schools and public transport links. By bringing all this information together in one place, Sprift makes it easier for professionals to analyse and present findings efficiently.

Understanding market trends is essential for pricing properties correctly and advising clients effectively. Sprift’s tools allow real estate professionals to analyse market conditions and property values in specific areas, enabling them to stay ahead of market shifts and provide clients with accurate, data-driven advice.

In addition to providing data on existing properties, Sprift supports lead generation by identifying properties likely to come onto the market soon. By analysing various indicators and data points, we help professionals spot opportunities before they become widely known, giving them a competitive edge.

Sprift also integrates seamlessly with the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems commonly used in the real estate industry. This integration ensures that property data and client interactions are managed efficiently, streamlining workflows for busy professionals.

To further support the branding needs of estate agents, Sprift offers white-label solutions, allowing agents to present Sprift’s detailed reports under their own brand, enhancing their professional image while delivering valuable insights to clients.

Our joint aim with agents is to simplify and enhance the property transaction process by providing all necessary data in a single, easy-to-use platform. By reducing the time and effort needed to gather information from multiple sources, Sprift empowers real estate professionals to offer better advice and services to their clients, improving the efficiency, transparency, and overall experience of property transactions.

With the increasing and ongoing amount of compliance being rolled out by NTSELAT regarding material information we equip agents with all necessary property information upfront, Sprift allows them to be more transparent in their dealings with clients. Sprift plays a crucial role in empowering estate agents by providing them with detailed and comprehensive property data from the very start of their client interactions. This upfront access to information is vital for agents.

In addition to providing insights on existing properties, Sprift also helps agents identify properties that may soon enter the market. This proactive feature gives agents an early edge, allowing them to approach potential sellers with valuable insights before their competitors do. This early access to opportunities can be a game-changer in a competitive real estate market.

Furthermore, Sprift offers customization options, allowing agents to present these detailed reports under their own branding. This white-label feature enables agents to maintain a professional image while delivering high-quality, data-driven insights to their clients right from the start.

In essence, Sprift empowers estate agents with data-driven insights and tools, improving their ability to advise clients, price properties accurately, and streamline the overall property listing and selling and letting of property.’
