The Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg Robertson sits down with Julie Drazen, founder of Editora, to talk about her background in film and commercial editing and how that experience led to building a fast, opinionated video-editing platform for real estate agents. Julie explains how Editora uses AI as a behind-the-scenes tool (not a replacement for craft), why simplicity and taste matter in listing videos, and how the product is designed to save agents time while keeping branding consistent across brokerages. Key Takeaways Julie's career in commercial editing and documentary filmmaking shaped Editora's focus on storytelling, pacing, and taste. Editora automates listing videos from professional photos, handling shot selection, order, scripts, and voiceover with AI assistance. The platform prioritizes simplicity: fewer choices, consistent branding, and no flashy transitions or gimmicks. Agents can create videos quickly on desktop or mobile, including status updates like "just listed," "under contract," and "sold." Pricing tiers launch February 1, with a free first listing video and scalable options for solo agents, teams, and brokerages.

Remember the Google demo several years ago where an AI scheduled a hair appointment? That wasn't science fiction; it was a sneak peek into today.In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I'm unpacking what may just be the biggest game-changer in property management since the lease itself: agents serving agents. Not just leasing agents, but intelligent proxies doing business for residents, based on their digital behavior and preferences.Google's new Personalized Intelligence gives its AI the ability to sift through your Gmail, YouTube history, and more. Why? To anticipate your needs and take action before you even say a word.Now imagine this in Multifamily: Your future resident's AI is already shopping apartments based on their emails, watching your videos, syncing with their lifestyle, while your leasing agent's AI is already responding. That's agent-to-agent commerce.This isn't a someday conversation.

Can technology truly replace the warmth of human connection in collections?Here's the truth: automation can't carry compassion. But you can blend both for better outcomes.Today's Multifamily Operations Tip of the Day unpacks a tension we're all feeling: How do you automate rent collections without turning cold and robotic?Automation is brilliant for reminders, logs, and consistency, but it still requires human empathy. This episode explores how leaders can use PropTech tools like Elise AI (no sponsorships here, just a good example) while still empowering teams to apply discretion where it counts. Collections are emotional. Context matters. And sometimes, only a human voice will do.Technology should support your people, not replace them. Not yet. The best approach is a hybrid one: let the tech do the grunt work, but reserve judgment and empathy for your on-site teams.If you believe PropTech should enhance, not replace, humanity in property operations, subscribe to the channel and share your own tips in the comments below.Blog: https://www.multifamilycollective.comBook: https://amzn.to/3YI6BDaSupport comes from: https://www.365connect.com/?utm_campaign=mmnHosted by: https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.comPlus: why in-person events like RETCON https://retconference.com/ matter more now than ever.Multifamily, Property Management, Rent Collections, PropTech, Automation, Resident Experience, Empathy in Leadership, Property Operations, Elise AI, Multifamily Technology, Leadership in Multifamily, Human Touch in Tech#Multifamily #PropTech #PropertyManagement #Leadership #ResidentExperience #RentCollections #AutomationWithEmpathy #EliseAI #MultifamilyLeadership #PropertyOperationsmikebrewer #multifamilycollective #multifamilymentoring #multifamilycoaching #multifamilypodcast #leadership #OpenAi #multifamilymedianetwork

I guarantee you've dealt with pests in multifamily at some point — but you've probably never thought about how broken the system really is.In this video, Mike Brewer sit down with Landon Cooley, fourth‑generation pest‑control pro and co‑founder of Pest Share, to unravel why pests aren't just a headache — they're a silent drag on occupancy, retention, and ultimately NOI. We walk through how traditional pest control in multifamily is fragmented, reactive, and often ignored until it becomes a crisis. Then we shift to the future: a tech‑enabled, centralized PropTech solution that puts control in the hands of residents and property managers — turning pest control from liability to amenity.If you manage multifamily properties or invest in real estate, this could dramatically change how you think about maintenance, retention, and resident satisfaction.If you care about reducing turnover and protecting NOI, make sure you subscribe — because this is one of those conversations you don't want to miss.Pest Share is a tech-driven platform founded in 2019 that modernizes pest control for the rental housing market, allowing property managers to automate service requests through integrations with their systems and offering residents easy, on-demand access to vetted national pest control providers.

I've seen it play out too many times to ignore.The real win? Healthy rent rolls. Resident retention. Balanced occupancy with market-driven rent growth.If you're in multifamily leadership, PropTech innovation, or just trying to keep your portfolio thriving—this one's for you.Plus, hear what our friend Mark Sharp is cooking up with the Multifamily Mixtape in 2026.

Send us a textThis episode brings together commercial real estate, construction, and capital markets leaders to unpack what truly drove success in 2025—and where the smartest opportunities lie in 2026. The panel explains why consistent relationship-building and disciplined preparation outperformed attempts to time a volatile market, sharing concrete tactics for client retention, referral flywheels, and turning every contact into multiple lines of business. They then shift to a sector-by-sector outlook, covering construction backlogs, public infrastructure pipelines, rising non‑residential spend, and how sidelined capital is now moving into industrial, data centers, multifamily, and more.The conversation dives into the new AI and marketing paradigm, showing how to use AI as a “day one intern” for execution and bidding while protecting authentic brand voice and trust with clients. Finally, the guests spotlight off‑site and prefabricated construction as a maturing, cost‑competitive methodology that can cut timelines, improve safety, and reshape labor and training. Listeners walk away with practical, 2026-ready strategies: use AI to buy back time, invest it in relationships, and stay ahead of emerging methods like prefab that are quietly redefining project delivery.ABOUT OUR HOSTS: Andreas Senie, Host, Founder CRECollaborative (CRECo.ai), Technology Growth Strategist, CRETech Thought Leader, & Brokerage OwnerChris Abel, Vice President Associated Builders and Contractors of Connecticut, Board Member SMPS—Society for Marketing Professional Services CTRebekah Carlson, Founder & CEO Carlson Integrated, LLC, Past President NICAR Association, Brokerage OwnerABOUT: CRECo.ai Presents: The Real Estate Roundtable — the podcast where innovation meets expertise.

Send us a textKicking off the new year with a listener favorite.In this replay episode of the Anewgo of New Home Sales Podcast, we revisit one of our most downloaded conversations-our deep dive into the iBuyer model with leaders from Offerpad.Recorded during a pivotal moment for PropTech, this episode breaks down how OfferPad reimagined the way homeowners buy and sell, especially for new construction buyers juggling contingencies, timing, and uncertainty. You'll hear how their iBuyer program works, why local market expertise and human decision-making matter just as much as technology, and how builders and real estate agents can leverage iBuyers as a strategic tool (not a threat).With the housing market evolving rapidly since this episode first aired, this replay offers valuable perspective on:The rise (and recalibration) of the iBuyer modelHow certainty and convenience impact new home salesWhy partnerships between builders, agents, and iBuyers still matterLessons that remain relevant no matter the market cycleWhether you're revisiting this episode or hearing it for the first time, it's a timely reminder that innovation in real estate isn't just about algorithms, it's about solving real problems for real buyers and sellers.Happy New Year, and enjoy this throwback conversation.
What if I told you your property's Wi-Fi could make or break your lease renewals?In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I sit down with industry thought leader @DomBeveridge from https://20for20.com/ to unpack his latest whitepaper - [ https://lp.20for20.com/25-wp-wifi-sentiment-analysis?_gl=1*1ry3ptb*_ga*MTYwMTUzMzY1LjE3NjQxNjQ2OTM.*_ga_53YQRXE0K2*czE3NjU5MDAyMjYkbzMkZzEkdDE3NjU5MDAzMTAkajU3JGwwJGgw. ]Dom shares real, actionable insights from AI-driven sentiment analysis of over 30,000 resident interactions.Here's the punchline: there's a measurable link between poor Wi-Fi and resident churn. And not just mild dissatisfaction. We're talking 83% churn likelihood when outages become routine.But that's just the beginning.Dom walks us through how this study breaks from the traditional (and frankly, flawed) survey model (this was my favorite part of the interview!). He explains how new AI tools like ResiDesk are changing how we understand the resident experience by listening to what residents actually say, rather than boxing them into 1-to-10 scales.We cover:Why frequent Wi-Fi outages are a churn triggerThe fatal flaws of traditional surveysThe power of open-ended AI conversationsHow regulation is getting Wi-Fi all wrongAnd what owners/operators should do right nowIf you're a developer, owner, asset manager, or just someone trying to stay ahead of the PropTech curve, this episode is a must.The future of personalized service in Multifamily will be about letting AI show you what your residents already feel.If you found value in this conversation, hit that like button, subscribe to the channel, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Ever stumble on something and think, "Wait... is this the next big thing?"That's what happened to me when I came across a website for RIOO—a new player in the property management software game. Think Yardi, Entrata, or RealPage... but with a twist.Here's the kicker: They've embedded direct links to AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok—right on their homepage. One click, and you're looking at an AI-generated synopsis of their entire platform.Why does that matter for us in Multifamily?Could this be the beginning of SEO being influenced not just by keywords, but by how well your site plays with large language models (LLMs)? Could these embedded AI prompts actually push your PropTech product or property management system higher in search results—or even make it the default suggestion in an AI chat?I don't know yet. But I'm curious.And I think we all should be.What's your take?

Let's get real—SEO isn't dead. But it is getting eaten for breakfast by something new: GEO—Generated Engine Optimization.In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, we break down the growing tension between traditional SEO and the rise of AI-driven search tools. As large language models (LLMs) become the starting point for more apartment searches, the rules are shifting fast. Real fast.I'm talking about a world where people don't hit Google first—they start with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok. And suddenly your slick website copy, metadata, and keyword strategy aren't enough. Now you have to teach the machines what you do. In plain, punchy, authoritative language.So... is your multifamily brand prepared for this shift?Let's dig into why your copy needs to sound like a conversation, not a cold brochure—and how GEO may be the new frontier for property management companies and PropTech platforms alike.Got thoughts on the SEO vs GEO debate?

Denis Castin est l'invité de ce nouvel épisode de Mon Podcast Immo. Au micro de Baptiste Julien Blandet, le délégué général de Toit à Moi alerte : le sans-abrisme reste une urgence sociale majeure en France.Aujourd'hui, plus de 300 000 personnes vivent sans domicile. Face à cette réalité, Toit à Moi défend une méthode éprouvée depuis plus de 15 ans : le « logement d'abord tremplin ». Le principe est clair : offrir un logement stable en priorité, puis un accompagnement social de long terme pour permettre une reconstruction durable.« Loger une personne sans accompagnement, ça ne suffit pas », martèle Denis Castin. Présente dans 20 villes, l'association a déjà acquis plus d'une centaine de logements via une foncière solidaire, soutenue par des citoyens, des entreprises et des collectivités.À l'occasion du RENT et du gala de la PropTech, Toit à Moi a été mise en lumière par les acteurs de l'immobilier. Pour Denis Castin, le message est sans détour : « Les professionnels ont une partie de la solution entre les mains ». Promoteurs, agences et investisseurs peuvent agir, en intégrant des logements solidaires au cœur même de leurs projets.Un échange sans langue de bois sur l'immobilier, la responsabilité collective et la nécessité de changer d'échelle.
Coline Sinquin est l'invitée de ce nouvel épisode de Mon Podcast Immo. Au micro de Baptiste Julien Blandet, la fondatrice et CEO d'Omedom raconte la genèse d'une solution née d'un problème très concret : la gestion complexe d'un patrimoine immobilier et financier au moment des successions.Propriétaires occupants, bailleurs, multi-investisseurs : Omedom s'adresse à tous ceux qui veulent reprendre la main sur leurs actifs. Immobilier, comptes financiers, crédits, trésorerie, loyers, mais aussi objets de valeur, tout est centralisé pour offrir une vision claire et en temps réel. Objectif : savoir ce que l'on a payé hier, ce que l'on paiera demain et anticiper taxes, travaux ou impayés.Dans un marché immobilier français sous tension, où fiscalité et transmission inquiètent de plus en plus de propriétaires, la technologie devient un outil de sécurisation. « Quand on commence à gagner en connaissance, on devient plus expert de sa propre gestion », souligne Coline Sinquin. Omedom permet ainsi de modéliser des scénarios, d'anticiper les risques et de préparer la transmission.Récompensée par de nombreux prix, dont le premier Proptech Sweet Awards de MySweetImmo, utilisée aujourd'hui par des milliers de particuliers et adoptée par des professionnels comme outil de différenciation, la solution illustre une conviction forte : « Il y aura toujours des propriétaires, et toujours des successions. Le digital doit être au rendez-vous ».

Chapter 2 - Reframing Real Estate: Space as a Service [06:01] Antony coins "Space as a Service" to reframe office thinking and real estate mindsets. [06:56] Real estate starts shifting from bond-based investments to human experience businesses. [08:26] Buildings must support focus, collaboration, and task-based work types. [09:13] Pure Adam Smith - productivity depends on environments that support individual output. [10:30] Office buildings must attract people. They have purpose, but they're no longer needed. [12:30] Hybrid working existed pre-COVID, but the pandemic proved remote work works. [13:20] Most corporations continue to mismanage hybrid work having had years to improve. [13:51] Only top-tier offices and flex space providers now fit workers needs and desires. [14:40] A significant portion of office spaces today are functionally obsolete. [16:23] Flex offices fit needs well but are expensive to operate based on high expectations. Chapter 3 - Technology, AI, and Smart Environments [17:40] Predictive AI can be used at once but needs much data, now possible within building environments. [19:22] Generative AI is a thinking partner to enhance any language, code and audio task. [21:04] Antony's six PropTech pillars include sustainability, wellbeing, technology and flexibility. [24:45] Smart buildings must adjust to maintain cognitive performance levels. [25:40] Top tier offices will start guaranteeing environmental conditions to support performance. [27:16] AI enables mass personalization based on user behaviour patterns. [28:13] Next step: buildings respond to what users plan to do. [29:58] Trust is critical for personalized data-driven space services. [32:19] Personas help anonymise data for tailored building experiences. [32:36] Antony disagrees with surveillance and advocates for trust-based data sharing. Chapter 4 - Connection, Community, and Purposeful Space [34:09] Individual top-tier buildings will draw tenants by enabling industry-specific performance. [34:56] Buildings as a connector, matchmaking tenants for networking and collaboration. [36:19] AI can suggest connections through apps or curated events such as lunch and learns. [40:51] Construction City example shows design drives chance interactions and community. Chapter 5 - Workforce Strategy and AI Readiness [42:49] Many employers aren't honest about why they are using AI and the workforce impact. [43:42] Fewer people may be needed as each person become much more productive with AI. [44:10] Companies must redeploy talent instead of cutting staff. [45:45] Some use AI to grow; others shrink workforce. [48:11] Small firms can become agile with AI-powered super teams. [50:22] AI fluency matters—employees not engaging with AI risk falling behind. [52:01] Everyone must upskill individually to stay competitive. IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Gather data and talent inputs to analyse and discover how your offices can be designed to actively support your teams' office-based work. RESOURCES Antony Slumbers on LinkedIn Antony's website QUOTES "You've got to make a building that people really, really want to go to because they don't need it anymore." "Generative AI is really good for mass personalization because it can understand data and break it down at a very granular level." "Real estate was going to move from being about a bond to a business." "Health and wellbeing doesn't just happen in a building. You are controlling the environmental conditions in which someone works." "You are paying someone a hell of a lot of money to be there, so if their cognitive capabilities are downgraded 10%, you are actually costing yourself money." "We will start to get to that base level—perfect conditions for whatever it is you need to do at the time."

Internationalisation, IA, vidéo immobilière… Florian Didier décrypte les nouveaux usages et les attentes du marché immobilier en France, au micro de Baptiste Julien Blandet.Florian Didier est l'invité de ce nouvel épisode de Mon Podcast Immo. Au micro de Baptiste Julien Blandet, le directeur commercial de Danim revient sur une année marquée par l'internationalisation de la solution en Espagne, au Portugal, en Italie et tout récemment en Allemagne. Danim adapte ses outils aux usages et aux règles propres à chaque pays, tout en conservant son ADN : aider les pros à créer facilement images, vidéos et posts pour les réseaux sociaux.Face à la montée de l'IA, Danim n'entend pas lutter mais intégrer : génération automatique de vidéos à partir d'une URL, home staging virtuel, suggestions de contenus, templates intelligents… « L'IA va comprendre le contenu et proposer directement le bon post », explique-t-il. Mais l'humain reste un pilier : expertise, empathie, présence locale, des valeurs que la technologie ne remplacera pas.La vidéo, elle, s'impose comme un incontournable. « 73 % des vendeurs veulent un agent qui propose une vidéo », rappelle Florian Didier. Une fiche de bien avec vidéo se vend 26 % plus vite, et les Français passent 1h28 par jour à regarder des vidéos sur les réseaux sociaux : un canal d'acquisition majeur. Reste à lever les freins des pros — manque de temps, de technique ou d'idées — un défi auquel Danim répond avec des montages en 6 minutes en moyenne et des contenus prêts à l'emploi.

Modern energy regulations and rising utility costs are reshaping commercial real estate. In this episode, veteran green-building contractor Robert Pulitzer of Green Street Global explains how owners can tap hidden operational savings, fund deep retrofits with zero out-of-pocket capital, and future-proof assets against tightening decarbonization rules. In This Episode You'll Learn: Where the Money Hides: How utility-bill audits uncover 10-20 % in overcharges and fund the first wave of improvements. The Retrofit Roadmap: Start with the building envelope, then right-size HVAC, lighting, and water systems for 20-40 % lower consumption. Financing That Pays for Itself: Using C-PACE, equipment financing, and shared-savings models to cover 100 % of soft and hard costs. Best-Fit Property Types: Hotels, senior housing, hospitals, industrial facilities, private schools—and any owner-occupied building with high OPEX. Value-Add for the 21st Century: Why lower carbon emissions translate directly into higher NOI, higher valuations, and lower regulatory risk. AI as a Force Multiplier: The everyday tools Robert uses to draft proposals, LOIs, and even legal responses at lightning speed. Key Takeaways: Treat energy efficiency as a profit center, not an expense. A holistic approach—tight envelope → right-sized HVAC → efficient fixtures—delivers the biggest ROI. Shared-savings contracts and tax strategies eliminate upfront capital barriers. Decarbonization mandates are accelerating worldwide; acting now preserves asset value and competitive edge.

The Power and Pitfalls of Niche Asset Classes Paul Moore's perspective on “boring but beautiful” sectors like self-storage and small-bay industrial assets emphasizes their recession resistance and long-term cash flow. He underlines: “A great property can be ruined by a mediocre operator, and a mediocre asset can be saved and prosper under a great asset manager.” This theme of specialized knowledge—versus chasing trends—is critical for sustainable, risk-adjusted returns. 2. Leveraging Data, AI, and Hyperlocal Analysis Neal Bawa demonstrates how real estate investing is being revolutionized by artificial intelligence and predictive analytics. “All of our rent comps are now done by a tool called Manus…We're able to manage our properties better because our weekly reports on asset management are AI-generated,” Neal shares. The key is using tech not just for efficiency, but for smart, precision targeting in investment decisions. 3. Strategic Asset Management—From Landlord to Business Owner Ken emphasizes the essential mindset shift from simply being a landlord to managing properties as scalable businesses. “If the asset is in really, really good shape, it's well capitalized, it's maintained, financially maintained…then it actually helps when you start to exit.” Operational excellence—including robust asset management and leveraging both people and systems—drives sustainable value. 4. Aligning Values and Wealth: Impact Investing in Real Estate This episode dives into strategies for doing well while doing good. Jay Papasan highlights, “The money is good for the good it can do...wealth is great because we can make great change with it.” Both he and J Scott discuss setting impact goals, engaging community, and integrating purpose into investment models—showing that profitability and purpose aren't mutually exclusive. Call-to-Action Your Inspired Money challenge for the week: take one step to move from “landlord thinking” to “asset manager thinking.” Review a property you own, or one you're considering, and calculate its Net Operating Income. Ask yourself, "What simple change could increase cash flow or reduce costs?"
