This episode of the Elevate podcast is brought to you by Connectnow
If you’ve ever thought there’s too much PropTech to get your head around, you’re probably right. It’s a big, big arena, with lots of bright shiny objects all vying for your business attention.
But if there’s one person who can help you understand the tech currently available, how it can benefit your business and more importantly your customer, it’s Kylie Davis.
As the head of the PropTech Association, Kylie has her finger on the pulse of all the latest tools, tech and innovation. However, her real skill lies in identifying how those tools translate to a better real estate experience for your customers.
Kylie explains too often agencies look at PropTech from the wrong angle, seeking out the latest shiny object that they mistakenly believe will make all their woes disappear.
Instead, they should be approaching PropTech with the customer experience front of mind.
Kylie also outlines exactly the tech she would employ as an agency owner in order to focus on building better client relationships.
Along the way she discusses the agency of the future, and shares an in-depth insight into what buyers and sellers actually want in terms of real estate relationships.
“The thing that you need to do is to understand what kind of agent and what kind of agency do you want to run? What do you want that end user experience to feel like for your clients and how can you get more clients, how do you get more leads?
“Then take each section one by one and find out or ask around to find out, well, what tech could help us solve this problem?” Kylie Davis.
