Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
David Tashjian is the Senior Vice President of Comcast's Xfinity Communities national business unit, where he leads strategy, transformation, and performance for one of the company's fastest-evolving growth segments. He has spent more than 20 years at Comcast and over three decades in telecommunications. David started his career in restaurants, bars, and retail management before moving into telecom in the mid-1990s. He took on his first leadership role at 19 and has worked with multifamily properties throughout his telecom career. In this episode, John sits down with David Tashjian of Comcast's Xfinity Communities to break down how apartment owners should approach connectivity and technology. David explains why deployment and service delivery decide the resident experience, how the Connected Building retrofit upgrades older properties using existing wiring, and how national owners are turning technology into higher rents and technology fees. He also shares where multifamily proptech is heading and why a fragmented market is ready for a single partner at scale. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Talk to every stakeholder, from owners to residents, before making technology decisions Use resident feedback and competitor comparisons to spot when an upgrade is due Consider retrofits that reuse existing wiring before committing to a full fiber rebuild Judge providers on deployment, service delivery, and long-term stability as well as price Tie technology upgrades to rent premiums or technology fees to capture a return Treat connectivity as the foundation for access control, cameras, and other proptech Topics From Restaurants to Telecom David grew up around his father's restaurants and bars, then moved into retail management A blind ad in the mid-1990s led him to a satellite company and into telecom He is approaching 21 years at Comcast Serving Every Stakeholder David's customers include owners, developers, consultants, attorneys, property managers, maintenance teams, and residents A strong resident product fails without the right deployment strategy and on-site buy-in What Owners Want Today Ease of use and ease of deployment top the list Xfinity Communities is a new business unit with dedicated leadership over multifamily sales, deployment, and product development David sees the service experience as the main differentiator The 186 Steps Behind a Deployment A new-build managed Wi-Fi fiber deployment involves 186 steps across Comcast and the property Many connectivity complaints trace back to deployment or bandwidth issues Every property Comcast serves gets its own full engineering design Connected Building and Legacy Properties Connected Building is a post-build retrofit that uses most of a building's existing wiring David says it costs pennies on the dollar compared to a fiber retrofit, with no walls torn apart It includes proactive network monitoring, real-time data, and proactive fixes Property-wide Wi-Fi can also support smart devices, security, access control, and cameras Signs It Is Time to Upgrade Resident complaints, such as trouble working from home or dropped connections Occupancy that lags nearby properties Competing new builds charging more in rent or amenity fees The ROI of a Technology Upgrade Residents will pay for what they want, through higher rents or a technology fee Many national accounts are upgrading portfolio-wide, timed with contract renewals Some have built dedicated revenue-generating technology teams Proptech and the Future of Multifamily David describes multifamily proptech as fragmented, much like single-family home automation Xfinity Communities is running three to four beta deployments toward an integrated, white-label experience The team is evaluating acquisitions and partnerships with proptech companies Residents increasingly expect keyless entry, garage access, and entry cameras Scale lets one provider serve owners with properties spread across multiple states

Why does venture capital flow heavily into construction and development, and what will it take for architectural firms to capture real value?This week on Practice Disrupted, host Evelyn Lee explores architecture's business model from the other side of the table. Evelyn sits down with Mayra Arntz, Principal at Building Ventures, an early-stage venture capital firm investing in technology for the built environment. Having built a unique career spanning field construction at open-pit mines, startup product development, and corporate strategy, Mayra brings a candid, grounded perspective on where money actually flows in AEC, and why so little of it reaches architectural design.Mayra shares her upbringing in Peru, where watching her father build roads and bridges sparked an early fascination with how physical infrastructure drives community and commerce. After studying civil engineering and voluntarily working on-site at remote mining projects to gain field experience, she moved to San Francisco for an MBA. After discovering the gap between Silicon Valley's rapid software innovation and construction's reliance on legacy systems, Mayra joined HoloBuilder as its first construction expert, eventually rising to Head of Product before overseeing venture investments and acquisitions at Stanley Black & Decker.The conversation dives deep into the realities of venture capital and technology adoption across the built environment. Mayra explains why VCs focus heavily on ConTech and PropTech over architectural design software, pointing directly to firm wallet sizes, price elasticity, and the high-growth expectations of venture returns. She also unpacks the friction of changing status-quo mindsets on job sites, offers candid advice on alternative funding paths like bootstrapping and corporate venture capital, and encourages more women to step into male-dominated leadership roles across construction, software, and venture capital. "Take the spotlight, take the risks if you want to do it. Worst thing that could happen is that it doesn't work. And then you do something else." - Mayra ArntzThis episode serves as a powerful reminder that shifting the business model of architecture requires understanding the broader economic forces driving the AEC industry. By looking beyond traditional design practice and understanding how capital, technology, and risk intersect, AEC professionals can better position themselves to drive innovation and capture long-term value. Guest:Mayra Arntz is a Principal at Building Ventures, an early-stage firm investing in technology for the built environment across ConTech and PropTech. Born and raised in Peru, she earned her degree in Civil Engineering before working in project controls on complex open-pit mining developments. After earning her MBA, Mayra transitioned into construction technology as Head of Product at HoloBuilder (acquired by FARO Technologies) and later led strategy, M&A, and investments within Stanley Black & Decker's corporate venture group (Stanley X) before joining Building Ventures.This episode is especially for you if: ✅ You are curious about how venture capital works in the AEC space and what drives investment decisions in ConTech and PropTech.✅ You want to understand why architectural software faces unique challenges in scaling and securing venture funding compared to construction tools.✅ You want strategies for overcoming tech adoption friction and changing status-quo mindsets on job sites and in offices.✅ You are an entrepreneur evaluating different funding models, including bootstrapping, corporate venture capital, and traditional VC.✅ You are looking for inspiration on breaking into male-dominated spaces like venture capital, construction, and tech leadership.What have you done to take action lately?

SummaryIn this episode of Modern Multifamily, Mike Wolber brings the show back with Dana Pate, Founder/CEO of Stitched Marketing and former marketing leader at RangeWater through its growth from four properties to 400. Dana explains why so many people who go independent quietly return to a W-2 within two quarters (you report to more people, not fewer), why both large and small property management companies still move slowly on marketing decisions, and why "we just need more leads" is the same question the industry was asking ten years ago. The conversation closes on proptech go-to-market: why the obsession with the NMHC Top 50 starves companies of the mid-market partners that actually keep them afloat. For multifamily marketers, proptech operators and anyone thinking about going out on their own.Chapters00:00 Bringing Modern Multifamily back with Dana Pate01:22 Launching Stitched Marketing after 15 years on the PMC side04:12 Saying yes to everything, then learning to be choosy06:36 Working with competitors and keeping the client list at five or six11:24 What makes people fail when they go out on their own16:11 Building the plane at RangeWater, from 4 to 400 properties19:46 Two camps of slow PMCs and the "we just need more leads" trap25:59 Crowded categories and a dashboard for your dashboards29:30 Stop obsessing over the NMHC Top 5031:27 Who should call Stitched MarketingTakeaways- Going independent means answering to more people, not fewer, and losing the title, the authority and the team.- Large PMCs stall on red tape while small PMCs stall on fear of change, so both move slowly for opposite reasons.- "We just need more leads" is the same question the industry asked a decade ago, and the same question gets the same answers.- A signed contract is not buy-in; technology that the on-site team never adopts goes dusty and gets canceled.- Proptech companies obsessed with the Top 50 should win fast-deciding mid-market partners first and move upmarket with proof.Connect with the GuestDana Pate LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danagrazianopateCompany Website: https://stitchedmarketing.com

Dans ce nouvel épisode de Mon Podcast Immo, Ariane Artinian reçoit Stéphane Scarella, directeur du salon RENT. À quelques semaines de la 14e édition, les 4 et 5 novembre à Paris, il dévoile une nouveauté majeure : une Semaine de l'immobilier et du logement, du lundi 2 au vendredi 6 novembre, coorganisée avec le salon de la Copropriété et le ministère de la Ville et du Logement.Stéphane Scarella explique la logique de ce nouveau format, pensé sur le modèle d'une fashion week : multiplier les rendez-vous hors les murs de RENT pour ouvrir le débat sur un sujet qu'il juge trop resserré sur deux jours de salon, provoquer des prises de position concrètes et interpeller à la fois médias et pouvoirs publics. Le ministère y tient une place centrale, avec ses propres Assises de l'innovation dans l'habitat dès le mardi matin.Il revient aussi sur le RENT lui-même : la place grandissante de l'intelligence artificielle dans les échanges, la venue internationale de Mike Delprez et la première participation d'OpenAI, mais aussi le gala de solidarité qui réunira plus de 200 professionnels au profit d'Habitat et Humanisme. Sans détour, il livre également sa lecture d'un marché immobilier à plusieurs vitesses, entre promoteurs sous tension et marché de l'ancien qui tient mieux que prévu.Un épisode utile pour tous ceux qui veulent comprendre où en est le secteur avant la rentrée de l'immobilier, entre innovation, régulation et remise en perspective du marché.Animé par Ariane Artinian, journaliste et fondatrice du média MySweetImmo
Faire travailler plusieurs intelligences artificielles ensemble, former les équipes et répondre aux nouveaux usages des clients : Stéphane Scarella place l'évolution des métiers au cœur de RENT 2026. Lors de la conférence de presse du salon, le directeur général a présenté les orientations de cette quatorzième édition, organisée les 4 et 5 novembre 2026 au pavillon 6 de Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. Pour lui, une nouvelle étape s'ouvre dans l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle. Les professionnels devront apprendre à coordonner plusieurs outils, appliqués notamment à la prospection ou à la gestion de la relation client. Dans le même temps, il observe une évolution des recherches immobilières : les particuliers peuvent désormais décrire leur projet à une IA, dialoguer avec elle et préciser leurs attentes. Ces usages posent une question aux professionnels : comment rester visibles sur ces nouvelles plateformes ? Avec une centaine de contenus annoncés, RENT entend apporter des réponses concrètes. Formation, adaptation des pratiques et applications dans le quotidien des entreprises occuperont une place importante dans les échanges. Plusieurs études consacrées aux attentes des Français en matière de logement seront également présentées pour éclairer les transformations du marché. L'édition 2026 s'inscrira dans un cadre élargi : la première Semaine de l'immobilier et du logement, prévue du 2 au 7 novembre. Construite avec le Salon de la Copropriété et de l'Habitat et le ministère de la Ville et du Logement, cette initiative réunira différents rendez-vous pour faire dialoguer les acteurs publics et privés autour des difficultés du logement et des solutions à développer. Stéphane Scarella défend une innovation présente sur toute la chaîne immobilière, de la construction à la transaction, dans le parc privé comme dans le logement social. Un nouveau prix de l'innovation dans le logement social, créé avec les entreprises sociales pour l'habitat, viendra ainsi compléter les prix de la start-up de l'année et de l'innovation. La solidarité aura également sa place avec le gala du 3 novembre, organisé au bénéfice d'Habitat et Humanisme. Pour le directeur général, cette mobilisation participe au sens donné à l'événement. Son ambition pour les visiteurs : repartir avec des idées applicables dans leur activité, une meilleure compréhension des transformations en cours et de nouvelles opportunités professionnelles.

What if investing in commercial real estate could be as accessible as buying stocks? Mor Milo is Co-Founder and CEO of Relli, a PropTech platform built to change how everyday investors access commercial real estate. Growing up, Mor watched his immigrant parents build generational wealth one property at a time—and eventually became determined to figure out why that same opportunity remained out of reach for so many people. After several startup ventures, Mor and his co-founder Ross Iannarelli identified a major gap in the market: commercial real estate syndications offered powerful passive-income opportunities, but high barriers to entry and limited access kept most individual investors on the sidelines. Relli is working to create a two-sided marketplace connecting vetted commercial real estate operators with individual investors, bringing greater selection, transparency, and accessibility to an industry traditionally dominated by wealthy investors and institutions. If you've ever wondered how technology could reshape real estate investing and give everyday investors access to opportunities once reserved for the wealthy, this conversation offers a fascinating look at where the industry may be headed.FOLLOW:https://www.relli.co/https://www.linkedin.com/company/investwithrelli/https://www.instagram.com/InvestWithRelli/https://www.youtube.com/@InvestWithRelliSUBSCRIBE IF YOU'RE LOOKING TO BUILD WEALTH THROUGH OPPORTUNITIES IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY ✅ http://relfreedom.tv GET STARTED INVESTING TODAY AND ACCESS OUR DEAL LIST!

Un doctorat en philosophie de l'intelligence artificielle et de l'éthique appliqué à l'immobilier... C'est le parcours hors-norme d'Alexandre Bonhomme, l'invité du nouvel épisode du podcast Les Samouraïs du Business, animé par le banquier d'affaires Yannick Robert. --- Alors que le secteur immobilier traverse des mutations sans précédent, Alexandre Bonhomme a choisi de bousculer les méthodes traditionnelles de promotion. Avec WYL Labs, il ne se contente pas de numériser des processus existants : il s'appuie sur la puissance de la data et de l'IA pour rationaliser les choix d'aménagement et d'investissement les plus stratégiques. ---- Mais qu'est-ce que WYL Labs concrètement ? C'est un outil d'aide à la décision unique destiné aux professionnels. À partir d'une simple adresse, la plateforme agrège et analyse plus de 200 points de données (cadastre, PLU locaux, géorisques, transactions DVF) pour estimer le prix de sortie d'un projet, sa vitesse de vente, et sa rentabilité prévisionnelle. Au-delà de la technologie, WYL Labs a développé un écosystème à 360° qui intègre la co-promotion immobilière en connectant des investisseurs professionnels et des promoteurs, apportant une liquidité cruciale dans un marché en tension. --- Au micro de Yannick Robert, Alexandre Bonhomme livre une réflexion profonde sur la nécessité de comprendre le foncier dans sa globalité : « On s'est juste dit que si on arrive à comprendre mieux que personne l'emplacement et la dynamique autour de cet emplacement [...] combien à côté se sont plantés et ont perdu beaucoup d'argent ? » Un échange technique et inspirant pour tous ceux qui s'intéressent à l'avenir de la PropTech et de la promotion collaborative.
The Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg Robertson sits down with Dan Cooper, founder of Gitcha and the Buyer Listing Service (BLS), to talk about his path from spec-home builder to real estate broker to proptech founder. They dig into why Dan built a platform that flips traditional reverse prospecting on its head — letting buyers broadcast exactly what they want instead of waiting to be matched — and how that product is rolling out at the MLS level. Key Takeaways Dan Cooper grew up mostly in Eugene, Oregon, and got into home design and spec building in 2004 without formal architecture training He's designed over 200 homes and worked alongside his father, who joined the business after exiting the HVAC industry Dan opened a real estate brokerage in May 2020 to better serve clients he couldn't find homes for The idea for Gitcha originated in 2011 while trying to sell his own home during a market downturn Gitcha is the public-facing product where consumers can view buyer "wants" and reach out to agents BLS (Buyer Listing Service) is the MLS-level input product; agents submit detailed buyer requests, which can optionally syndicate to Gitcha The core pitch: reverse prospecting is static and seller-initiated, while BLS lets buyers steer the market by broadcasting specific, detailed wants Buyer requests can go far beyond standard MLS fields, including narrative detail on exactly what a buyer needs Dan sees the product addressing agent-to-agent communication that's fragmented across Facebook groups and other informal channels since NAR's Sitzer-Burnett settlement changed cooperation rules Current MLS/association partners include the Lubbock Association of Realtors, MyBor (BLC), and Momentum MLS in Western Arizona About 5% of MyBor's members signed up within three weeks of launch, with 120+ buyer listings already in the system Greg and Dan go back and forth on the elevator pitch, landing on "expand inventory" as a cleaner message than "increase supply" Dan credits Greg's Giant Steps consulting group with early guidance when he was starting the company Links Gitcha The Buyer Listing Service Sponsors Aligned Showings — MLS-owned showing software built to simplify scheduling, improve communication, and keep MLS data where it belongs.

When every AI company starts sounding the same, creativity becomes a competitive advantage. In this episode, Ashley McGovern, Director of Marketing at Nurture Boss, explains how she uses books, print materials, direct mail, and cinematic commercials to make an abstract technology feel more concrete. Ashley shares how NurtureBoss stands out in the crowded PropTech market by speaking its audience's language instead of relying on technical features, generic AI messaging, and predictable B2B campaigns. Ashley also discusses why marketers may need to rewrite the traditional inbound playbook, especially when selling to niche audiences that do not follow a linear buying journey. She explains how Nurture Boss turned its CEO's book into a company-wide sales and thought leadership resource, why she plans distribution before creating a campaign, and how she measures creative brand work when direct attribution is difficult .

In this August State of AI, Anya Chrisanthon - CCO at Anewgo - breaks down the month that moved AI search from theory to infrastructure.The crossover moment A Semrush study of nearly 500 marketing professionals found more marketers now plan to invest in AI search optimization than traditional SEO - 38% vs 36%. For 25 years SEO was THE discipline every budget started with. For the first time ever, it just got passed.Google's August 19 update: Search becomes a workspace Gemini Notebooks now live directly in AI Mode - imagine a homebuyer research notebook with floor plan PDFs, community brochures, pre-approval letters, and every AI conversation about builders in their market, all in one workspace that remembers everything. Custom document creation means a buyer can generate a comparison one-pager of the three builders on their shortlist - and whose information ends up in it depends entirely on what AI can find and trust about you.The 3D moment The headline update: Search can now generate interactive visual widgets and 3D simulations on demand inside AI Overviews and AI Mode. Google calls it generative UI - the AI isn't just writing an answer, it's building an interface. If Search can generate a rotating 3D molecular model today, how far away is "show me what an open-concept 2,400 square foot floor plan feels like"? Interactive content isn't a nice-to-have anymore. It's becoming the raw material of the answer layer - and the builders who invested early are the ones AI will build from.Google published the rulebook - and called out the snake oil There is no special technical trick that unlocks AI visibility. What Google's official guidance rewards: unique, non-commodity content grounded in genuine expertise - your communities in real detail, your building practices, your actual differentiators. Not generic slop.Who's winning and who's invisible 85% of marketers say AI has changed how they approach search - but 40% still check their AI visibility by manually typing prompts into ChatGPT. The chart that matters: teams with fully integrated SEO + AI visibility report more leads from AI 81% of the time. Completely siloed teams: 36%. Same tools, different results - the difference is whether it's connected. And when brands actually checked how AI describes them, nearly 9 out of 10 found something wrong.Zuckerberg's signal Meta's 6,500-word manifesto commits hundreds of billions to "personal superintelligence" - a world where every buyer has their own powerful AI working on their behalf. Every major platform is now building toward the same buyer: one who arrives with superintelligence riding shotgun. Is your digital presence ready to talk to it?There is no page two When AI recommends two or three builders, most buyers just accept them. The recommendation is the market. The gap between cited and not cited isn't a difference in degree - it's a difference in kind.
Dans ce nouvel épisode de Mon Podcast Immo, Ariane Artinian reçoit Guillaume Girard, directeur du développement stratégique de Septeo Proptecn. Il explique pourquoi l'éditeur a choisi de repartir d'une feuille blanche pour repenser ses logiciels autour d'un hub agentique.L'idée : ne plus imposer aux agents immobiliers une succession de menus, de sous-menus et de ressaisies, mais leur permettre de formuler directement une mission. Estimer un bien, par exemple, en croisant comparables de vente, performance énergétique ou encore risques liés au retrait-gonflement des argiles. Le logiciel va chercher lui-même les bonnes données dans les bons outils.« On enlève une étape pour plus d'efficacité et surtout plus d'exhaustivité », résume Guillaume Gérard.Reste à savoir quand. Après quatre mois de développement et une première présentation devant plus de 350 professionnels au Septeo Insight Day en juin, Septeo vise le salon RENT pour dévoiler une version viable, avant un déploiement chez ses clients d'ici la fin de l'année.

We talk with senior living marketing tech entrepreneur Jerry Vinci about why senior housing is an operating business inside a real estate wrapper and why PropTech only matters when it solves a real human problem. We break down what drives occupancy, where operators lose families in the funnel, and how investors can spot risk before it shows up in the financials. • defining PropTech around human problems in real estate • why family experience often decides tool adoption • early lessons on systems over effort and relationship as product • senior living levels of care and why the asset class is misunderstood • demographic shifts pushing demand toward ages 80 to 85 • demand generation versus traditional marketing and owning the full funnel • speed to human, long nurture cycles, and attribution that ties to move-ins • virtual tours and virtual staging as trust-building tools • emerging risks from AI search, staffing churn, and referral aggregator dependence • Nordon's independent diagnostics for senior housing underwriting • why Jerry launched the Leads To Leases podcast for unpolished operator lessons Be sure to subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

New construction can create enormous opportunities for real estate professionals, but many agents avoid it entirely. The information is fragmented. Builders can be difficult to reach. Agents may spend hours researching communities, requesting availability, driving between developments, and assembling information for buyers. For agents interested in working with international clients, the barriers can be even greater. But what happens when agents have a simpler way to present those opportunities? In this Best Of episode, we revisit a conversation with Christian Calusa, a real estate professional and the founder of NEO. Christian explains why so many agents want to sell new construction or work globally but do not know where to begin. You'll also learn: Why many agents avoid selling new construction What prevents real estate professionals from pursuing international buyers How a new agent reportedly turned an Uber conversation into a $10.2 million sale Why a personalized landing page can become a lead-generation tool How agents can build a niche around relocation and new construction Why educating buyers before a property tour can save everyone time How technology can support relationships without replacing the REALTOR® Guest Bio Christian Calusa is the CEO and Founder of NEO.

Voice is the next frontier of AI, and Lindsay Liu, co-founder and CEO of Super, will be the first to tell you it's also the hardest problem to solve. In this episode of Beyond Rent, Lindsay breaks down why voice AI is so much more complex than chat-based interfaces, and what it actually takes to build a system property managers can rely on.The conversation covers where AI is already delivering real results today, including structured data synthesis and multi-agent orchestration for call routing, and where voice specifically still runs into trouble: latency, turn detection, background noise, accents, and juggling multiple languages in real time. Lindsay also walks through the tradeoffs between speech-to-speech models and a deconstructed pipeline approach, and why quality assurance for voice looks nothing like testing a chatbot.They close with practical advice for property management teams evaluating voice AI: start with the job to be done, not the technology, and look for easy wins like after-hours coverage, missed calls, and collections outreach before tackling anything more complex.
The latest technology isn't always the right technology. In this episode, Reid sits down with Christian Davis of Lighthouse to discuss why multifamily operators need to evaluate AI, automation, and emerging PropTech through the lens of data, not fear of missing out. From self-guided tours to flexible rent payments and AI-powered leasing, Christian shares how Lighthouse separates industry hype from solutions that deliver measurable value.The conversation also explores human-centered leasing, evaluating new technology, AI adoption, and building a fact-based decision-making process. Whether you're investing in new PropTech or refining your existing tech stack, this episode challenges conventional thinking and offers a practical framework for making smarter technology decisions.
Join Marian Pulford, Co-Founder and CEO of Kestrel Labs, for an insightful evaluation of why optimizing broken workflows is a losing strategy for category-defining startups. In the tech world, most founders compete by building incremental software wrappers designed to make manual tasks marginally faster or cheaper. Marian argues that the true deep-tech breakthroughs occur when operators challenge the foundational assumption that those painful workflows need to exist in the first place. Focusing on the built environment—one of the world's largest, most capital-intensive, yet least digitized markets—we explore how Kestrel Labs is eliminating the traditional, high-friction regulatory review loop.

Overview Greg Robertson talks with Santanu Barua, CTO of Vesta Plus, the tech platform owned by the Combined LA/Westside MLS (CLAW), about his path into MLS tech, the Checkmate compliance product, and VestaPlus's approach to AI and MCP servers. Key Takeaways Vesta Plus is a wholly owned subsidiary of CLAW, licensing its homegrown MLS tech to other MLSs since 2018 Santanu's path: EE/CS at University of Houston → mortgage tech at Countrywide (2001–06) → MLS technology since 2006 Checkmate, born from a talk with former CLAW COO Gigi Marina, catches violations input rules can't (bad remarks, photo violations via computer vision) and automates follow-up Products are built modular/extensible so tools like Checkmate can later be sold to other MLSs Vesta Plus has its own MCP server, launching soon to members — part of the "headless MLS" trend (Flex MLS/FBS also offers this) Data access runs through a controlled API layer, not direct database access, for security Greg pitches a "16 core fields + AI chat for everything else" MLS interface idea They discuss a possible marketplace for member-built AI tools, like custom GPTs New public-facing site (in development ~6 months) will let the public search agents and listings, with agents controlling how much history/testimonials they show Santanu's AI philosophy: build deliberately on existing data strengths, prioritize security over speed Contact Santanu: santanu@themls.com Sponsors Aligned Showings — MLS-owned showing software built to simplify scheduling, improve communication, and keep MLS data where it belongs.

Nobody would give Hannah a room. So Hannah decided to control who gets one.Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos. Get up to $3 million in coverage in as little as 10 minutes at https://ethos.com/founded. Application times may vary. Rates may vary. "I cold called all of the landlords I'd ever met at Bristol and got horribly rejected by most. Definitely cried a lot in the first few weeks." That's how Hannah Chappatte started hybr and this episode opens with it. Rejected by the University of Bristol on her predicted grades, she proved them wrong, got in, got a first, then skipped the consulting grad schemes to fix the thing every student complains about: finding a house. Fast forward, hybr has raised a £3.24M seed round and is building the one-stop rental platform for the UK's 3 million students, first-time renters drowning in jargon, deprioritised by agents, and at risk of exploitation. This is a masterclass in validation, resilience and focus from a founder who did it with no network, no funding and no playbook, and who'll tell you straight: if you can avoid raising money, avoid it. 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rejection is the R&D. Every landlord "no" became a rewritten pitch and a rebuttal, until the yeses came. Persistence isn't gritting your teeth; it's a feedback loop. Validate by selling, not by building in silence. 2. Focus is a system, not a feeling. Two company objectives per quarter, one North Star metric. If a project doesn't ladder into them, it doesn't get worked on, however shiny. 3. Build sustainably from day one. Validate on the smallest possible scale with minimal tech investment, prove the problem and market are big enough, and design for profitability early; it de-risks everything that comes after. And it applies to you too: Hannah calls out the sleep-under-the-desk myth. Sprints are real; burnout kills businesses. WHAT WE COVER - Cold-calling landlords, crying through rejections, and rewriting the pitch every time - The consulting grad-scheme escape and throwing herself in 100% after graduation - Going from co-founder to sole founder after three months , and why her next business will have one - Both sides of the marketplace: what students and landlords actually need - Raising a £3.24M seed in a market where 2% of funding goes to women - The worst advice ever: the VC who'd only invest if she pivoted to food - The power of being underestimated - The event where 100 people RSVP'd and one turned up - Radical Candor, building a team of 15, and rejecting hustle culture - Gen Z, mental hygiene, remote-vs-office, and her vision: no empty rooms in the UK

More importantly, does Google even need Zillow anymore?We dive into Google's AI platform NotebookLM, how artificial intelligence is transforming online search, and why many experts believe the future of the internet is moving from "search results" to direct answers.

Venture Unlocked: The playbook for venture capital managers.
Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.Welcome back to another episode of Venture Unlocked, the podcast that takes you behind the scenes of the business of venture capital.In this episode, I'm joined by three deep tech investors and friends of the show, Nate Williams, Sunil Nagaraj, and Guy Perelmuter, for a roundtable on the state of deep tech and the changing venture landscape.

The Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg Robertson sits down with Katrina Romatowski, founder and CEO of reSpace, to discuss a new approach to housing affordability through co-homeownership. Drawing on nearly three decades in real estate, development, and housing advocacy, Katrina explains how reSpace redesigns homes into private suites with shared common spaces and enables buyers to purchase fractional ownership interests. The conversation explores affordability, homeownership as a wealth-building tool, aging-in-place design, MLS challenges, and the growing need for alternative housing models. Key Takeaways Katrina grew up throughout the Pacific Northwest, worked in construction from a young age, and built a career spanning real estate sales, development, and brokerage. Her real estate company was founded as a social purpose corporation, leading to the creation of a nonprofit focused on housing and mentorship for people exiting incarceration and recovery programs. The idea for reSpace emerged after selling a small infill home for nearly $1 million and questioning who could realistically afford it. Inspiration came from fractional ownership models such as Picasso, but Katrina wanted to apply the concept to primary housing rather than luxury vacation homes. reSpace creates homes with private suites that include ensuite bathrooms, closets, workspace areas, and personal amenities, paired with shared kitchens and living spaces. Buyers purchase an ownership interest in the property, allowing them to live in high-cost neighborhoods at a price point closer to renting an apartment. The model is designed to help first-time buyers, retirees, siblings, friends, and other groups gain access to ownership while maintaining independence. Katrina argues that homeownership remains one of the most important pathways to building middle-class wealth and that affordability challenges are increasingly shutting people out of that opportunity. A major hurdle for reSpace has been gaining MLS support for fractional ownership listings, despite existing standards that support partial-interest ownership categories. Current projects include The Grove in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood and a historic mansion redevelopment in Leschi, with plans to expand through technology and partnerships.

The Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg Robertson sits down with Atticus LeBlanc, founder and CEO of PadSplit, to discuss the affordable housing crisis and how room-by-room rentals can create housing opportunities for people who are priced out of traditional apartments. Atticus shares his journey from commercial real estate broker to housing entrepreneur, the origins of PadSplit during the Great Financial Crisis, and how the company has grown from a single prototype house to more than 33,000 beds nationwide. The conversation explores shared housing, affordability challenges, real estate investing, and the role technology can play in expanding access to housing. Key Takeaways Atticus grew up in New Orleans, studied Architecture and Urban Studies at Yale University, and credits competitive swimming with teaching resilience and persistence. After entering commercial real estate during the early stages of the housing crash, he discovered an overlooked opportunity in room-by-room housing. A chance encounter with tenants Mitch and Otis led to his first rooming-house experiment, revealing strong demand from renters who couldn't qualify for traditional apartments. PadSplit was founded in 2017 to provide the operational and technology infrastructure needed to make shared housing scalable. The platform functions similarly to Airbnb, connecting hosts with renters while handling marketing, screening, payments, move-ins, and support. Many PadSplit residents are workers earning modest incomes who are unable to meet traditional apartment qualification requirements despite having stable employment. The company has grown from 82 beds in 2018 to roughly 33,000 beds today. Shared housing can help homeowners offset mortgage costs and create pathways toward real estate investing. Atticus argues that local market knowledge often matters more than national data when identifying successful housing opportunities. The average PadSplit resident stays about nine and a half months, though many remain for years due to the affordability and stability the model provides.

Target Market Insights: Multifamily Real Estate Marketing Tips
Kevin Jacobsen is the CEO of Foxen, a proptech company modernizing multifamily operations with value-add compliance and financial wellness solutions. A former investment banker and private equity professional, Kevin built his career working on technology M&A transactions, IPOs, and capital allocation before moving into operating roles at high-growth SaaS companies. He previously served as CEO of LogicGate and CFO at Kapow. At Foxen, Kevin leads a platform that has served approximately 3 million residential units across the country, offering renters insurance compliance, resident rent reporting, and pet compliance solutions to multifamily owners and operators. Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Around 40% of residents required to carry renters insurance don't have active coverage, creating real exposure for operators Without resident coverage, a claim defaults to the property policy, which can carry a $50,000 to $100,000+ deductible Renters pay 25 to 35% of after-tax income on rent but receive no credit benefit from on-time payments 85% of renters say they want rent reporting; only about 10% currently have access to it Proptech companies thrive by staying specialized rather than spreading thin across too many solutions When evaluating a deal or operator, trust is the primary filter: if something feels too good to be true, dig harder Topics From Investment Banking to Multifamily Proptech Kevin started in investment banking after college, working on technology M&A, IPOs, and capital allocation He moved into private equity before finding his footing as an operator of high-growth technology companies He joined Foxen as CEO four years ago and has been focused on building the company's presence across the multifamily industry The Three Core Solutions Foxen Offers Renters insurance compliance ensures all residents maintain active coverage as required by their lease Rent reporting (branded as Rent Street) reports on-time rent payments to credit agencies so residents can build a credit profile Pet compliance manages documentation collection, emotional support animal verification, and HUD-related regulatory requirements The Renters Insurance Compliance Problem Roughly 40% of residents who are required to carry coverage do not have an active policy, either due to lapsed payments or intentional cancellation Property management teams have historically had no scalable way to track and enforce this in real time Foxen tracks compliance and gives residents a choice: maintain their own policy or enroll in a waiver program with no deductible exposure The Financial Wellness Gap in Rental Housing Mortgage payments are automatically reported to credit agencies; rent payments are not, leaving a major gap in the financial reporting ecosystem Renters pay a significant share of their income on rent and build no credit history from it California recently passed a law requiring property management companies to offer rent reporting; other states are evaluating similar legislation How Foxen Thinks About Product Growth There are approximately 50 million rental units in the US; Foxen has served roughly 3 million, signaling significant runway The company focuses on specialized, complex functions that property managers do not want to own in-house Clients increasingly want fewer vendors, not more, which creates a clear opportunity for companies that can deliver multiple services reliably through a single integration
