Today, we will talk about the future of property professionals, and the benefits of specialist knowledge in the property market. We will go through the advantages of specialism and what are the best niches to focus on. 

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- What we can do today to succeed in the industry in 2, 5, or 10 years

- How I discovered the importance of specialism in my career, and how becoming a specialist helped me

- Why we should focus on the edges of the market

Whether it is property valuation, banking, lending, sales, or agency property, we must go super narrow and super deep in our specialization. We must aim for homogeneous, non-generic parts of the market and then learn, grow, and develop.

In this episode, we will discuss why property markets are volatile, and what patterns we should look for in order to understand those markets better. We will go through what I've learned about the market's behaviour in history, and how patterns repeat themselves.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why paying attention to old trends can help us understand the present trends

- Why the current market is hot, and pricing is going upwards

- The influence of affordability, interest rate, and inflation on market's volatility

Last year at the beginning of the pandemic, every specialist predicted that the property market would fall catastrophically, but it didn't happen. The interesting part is to know if we are simply delaying an inevitable fall, or we are experiencing a rebound and the beginning of a journey of growth and prosperity.

- What are three steps to becoming a Valuation Property Expert

In this episode, we will discuss why the industry demands live updates on property intel and property data more than ever. I will share what I've learned in the last few years, especially during COVID, and what we can expect from the real estate market in the following years.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why is it common to hear about FinTech, PropTech, Intel, and Data in the real estate industry

- How often are changing product and pricing key indicators

- What will happen to the demand for live updates of property intel and data in the following years

The markets are moving faster than ever, and people are not waiting for quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly updates to make decisions about their portfolios. The market's speed demands to be constantly informed and ready to make decisions daily.

Today, we will discuss why banks and lending institutions need to work closely with expert registered property valuers more than ever in a world affected by COVID. We will analyse the current situation from a sales and risk perspective, and from a transparency and data perspective.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why lendings tend to grow in uncertain and volatile markets

- The risks of HMO (Housing in Multiple Occupation) products, and why the communication between valuers, lenders and the bank becomes imperative

- The unique perspective that expert registered property valuers can share with banks and lending institutions

In volatile, uncertain markets like we're in today, understanding where a specific product sits within the market is crucial. In 2021, knowing how long it will take us to liquidise or rent an asset, whether only a distressed purchaser can buy it, or even if the property is mortgageable becomes more critical than ever.

Today, I would like to bring back an old discussion from my times as a student, on how art and science disciplines apply to property valuation. We will analyse the parts of the industry that relate to each discipline, and how they interact.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- What is considered art in property valuation, and what part is considered science

- Why the uniqueness of some properties can only be understood from an art standpoint

- The role of science in setting a value for a certain property

Every piece of art is unique, and its artistic value will change depending on who is asked about it. Science is the complete opposite, where everything is measurable and comparable. But in property valuation, art and science are complementary, and they work together.
