In this episode of The PropTech Podcast, I interview Clint Motley of Immersiv.

In this episode of The PropTech Podcast, I interview Shane Lavagna-Slater, the CEO of  RentPay, one of the new breed of rental payment apps. Rentpay is a platform designed to make rent collection and payment easier by giving renters flexible payment options, cashback rewards, and tools to help them manage their finances better in an environment that is more secure than just emailing your bank details for direct debit. 

At the same time, it simplifies rent reconciliation and reduces admin time for property managers, making their lives easier.

In today's episode, we are diving deep into the world of artificial intelligence and real estate with Chris McGoldrick, the founder of ListAssist. ListAssist is an innovative AI-powered platform that is revolutionising the way home buyers search for properties and how real estate agents engage with potential clients.

Chris will share his journey of launching ListAssist and the unique challenges of entering the American real estate market from New Zealand. We'll uncover the secrets of their success, including their recent win at the Proptech Angel Investment Network Pitchfest and their exciting partnership with Howard Hannah, the largest privately-owned brokerage in North America.

But most importantly, we’re going to take a look at how ListAssist is harnessing the power of AI to make the experience of finding your dream home work just as it does to find the perfect tshirt online - or any other retail experience - using property features and data extracted from imagery together with natural language search. 

Welcome to the PropTech Podcast! In this episode, we are delving into the world of co-ownership and its potential to revolutionise modern property ownership. 

My guests are Lynda Coker and Liz Rochaix, the co-founders of Co-operty, an innovative platform designed to simplify and streamline the co-ownership journey.

Co-operty is tackling one of the biggest challenges facing aspiring homeowners: affordability which they tackle through digitising the long existing legal framework of tenants in common, and providing some security and asset protection around the idea of the Bank of Mum and Dad. 

Whether you're a potential first time homebuyer or the parents of Milennial or Gen Z - this is a cracking episode. 

My guest in this episode is Michael Shaw, CEO of what at the time of the interview was a proptech called EnvisionVR, but they have, in the pursuant months, changed their name to Enviz.

Enviz creates immersive experiences for new - as yet unbuilt - property through floorplans and property models. Enviz supports architects and CGI studios to upload 3D designs allowing buyers to experience fully the new home they will be purchasing via their mobile phone, tablet or computer - you don’t need a full VR headset. And the design community don’t need expensive software. 

And as you’ll hear in this episode, this results in more confident buyers, faster sales and even higher prices. And as you’ll learn from Michael, VR is just the beginning. There’s VR, AR and even XR. 

Now one of the biggest growth categories in the Proptech Awards for 2023 was tech for developers and off the plan sales. 

And our next guests are a brand new startup specialising in disgitising how land is sold.

Landnow is a real time marketplace for land sales allowing the building industry to see exactly which blocks are available, their location and specifications to ensure they are suitable for different house designs and most importantly, the ability to put a block on hold. It replaces the very slow and laborious system of emailing pdfs of stock lists and constant phone and email tag - sometimes over a week or more - to see if a block was available to purchase. 

Landnow launched in October in Perth where builder reps sell more than 70% of all land but they have big plans to go national. 

So buckle up for a niche - but super fascinating - Proptech in this episode with my guest Sean Lucas from Essensys. 

Essensys deliver end to end solutions for digital access for flex spaces including connectivity, access control and network infrastructure. 

Sounds simple but you know what they say - simple at the front means a lot of complication out the back. And the nature of shared office space with all different types of computers and systems plugging in exponentially increases that complication. 

And with hybrid working changing so many of our office spaces, and flexible working space growing by a huge 30% globally, the services Essensys offers are in strong demand from commercial office owners.
