Matt Goddard – AI, Innovation & Business Growth
A look at what some of the world's best agencies are doing right now, and what travels between them.
I have the privilege of working with agencies and suppliers from across the globe and the most interesting bit is rarely the tech. It's the habits and the culture that quietly sort the top performers from the rest of their market. I'll run through what I've seen with the likes of Belle, Bayleys and Ray White in Australia and New Zealand, what's emerging in the UAE, insights from America (and not just my first Waymo ride!) together with lessons from closer to home and my Property AI Report podcast. Tech runs through it. Especially how good suppliers actually work alongside the agencies that rely on them. But it's there to support the story, not lead it.
Matt Goddard is Founder of GCG, Systems Integrators and Forward Deployed Engineers, who works with estate agencies and PropTech suppliers across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, the UAE and the US. Co-host of The Property AI Report weekly podcast, he splits his time between operational reviews on agency floors and product strategy with the firms building the systems those agencies rely on.
Simon Gates – Property Valuation & Pricing In A Changing Market
While AI, automation, and technology are transforming our industry, the estate agents who thrive over the next decade won't simply be the ones using the latest tools. They'll be the ones who combine technology with the fundamentals that have always driven successful agency.
In this session, Simon Gates will explore the concept of "Actual Intelligence" — the knowledge, judgement, and expertise that estate agents must never lose sight of as AI becomes more prevalent. From pricing strategy and market analysis to understanding buyer behaviour and seller psychology, Simon will demonstrate why the human element remains the most valuable asset in any estate agency.
Attendees will learn how to use AI and automation to enhance efficiency and improve client experiences, whilst ensuring they don't neglect the skills that generate instructions, reduce price reductions, minimise fall-throughs, and help properties sell faster and for stronger prices. Simon will also explore why the agents achieving the highest fees are rarely those with the most technology, but those who can clearly demonstrate their value, provide expert advice, and deliver better outcomes for their clients.
Using real-world examples, market data, and practical strategies, this session will show agents how to leverage technology without becoming reliant on it, whilst strengthening the expertise that allows them to win more instructions, charge premium fees, and stand apart from an increasingly crowded marketplace.
This is not a session about replacing estate agents with technology. It's about future-proofing your agency by combining the best of both worlds: embracing innovation whilst strengthening the expertise, insight, and judgement that clients are willing to pay a premium for.
The future of estate agency isn't Artificial Intelligence. It's Actual Intelligence, supported by Artificial Intelligence.
