Matt McGown, the regional product and marketing officer for Reapit Australia and New Zealand, chats with Momentum Media's Grace Ormsby for the latest episode of REB's Proptech Pulse. With artificial intelligence (AI) inevitably set to change the real estate industry landscape, Matt calls for a reframing of how the sector views the tech's integration into business operations and explains why AI adoption should be perceived as a liberation from tasks weighing down agents rather than a takeover of the machines. The duo also discuss how the uptake in AI has increased in recent times and unpack why improving business capabilities with the right tech can help put a business ahead of the industry pack.

In this episode, you will hear:

• What questions firms should be asking about AI adoption

Phil Tarrant and Tom Panos discuss the hard-hitting topics relevant to real estate that others might shy away from. To determine whether the market has reached the floor on property price declines, Tom and Phil take stock of housing data spanning back 35 years. While the duo surmised that correction phases unfold throughout an average period in the past, they also underline that Australia is composed of markets within markets that are at different points of the downturn stage — meaning a one-size-fits-all strategy for buying and selling is not feasible. With that, the duo provides strategies on how investors can navigate the current market and why the best strategy is remaining invested despite the cooler conditions. They also touch on how regulatory interventions, including state-based stamp duty and land tax reforms and home-buying schemes, are shaping market trends.

While Adrian Knowles acknowledges that the days of record-breaking sales and short selling times are gone, he believes there are focus points that businesses must zero in on to avoid going under in the tough market waters. Now, more than one year after stepping into a leadership role, the chief executive of Harcourts Group Australia sits down with Grace Ormsby to talk about how joining the brand's executive slate has been a "full-blown" learning experience and shares how the brand's best-kept secret is its community. And although there is no surefire way to predict where the market will go, Adrian emphasises that businesses must not just key in market conditions — but be one step ahead of any downturn by having a sense of agency of the factors it can control and optimising its current capacities.

In this episode, you will hear:

• What three factors businesses can control to drive growth in a tough market
• The importance of a people-centric approach to both internal and external business relationships
• How tech and data can be leveraged to maximise returns
