Le suivi des prestations reste un défi quotidien pour de nombreux acteurs de l'immobilier. Maintenance, nettoyage, vérifications réglementaires... comment disposer d'une information fiable, exploitable et utile à la décision ? C'est la question à laquelle répond Scoob, start-up de la promotion Maille'Immo 2026. À l'occasion d'une interview réalisée par Corentin Brabant sur radio.immo, Hugues Marchal, cofondateur de Scoob, revient sur la naissance de cette solution de traçabilité imaginée à partir d'un constat simple : le manque de visibilité sur la réalisation effective des prestations terrain. Au fil de l'échange, il partage : - l'histoire de la création de Scoob ; - les retours d'expérience qui ont permis de construire la solution avec les utilisateurs du terrain ; - la vision portée par l'équipe pour faciliter le suivi des interventions et la preuve de service ; - les perspectives de développement de la solution au-delà du nettoyage vers les métiers de la maintenance et de l'exploitation immobilière. Au sein de Maille'Immo, nos partenaires Magellan, Twenty Campus, SERGIC BATISANTÉ et Logista Hometech explorent comment cette solution peut contribuer à : - améliorer le pilotage des prestations ; - faciliter le suivi des interventions techniques ; - fiabiliser les données terrain ; - renforcer la qualité de service apportée aux clients et aux occupants. Parce que l'innovation ne consiste pas uniquement à développer de nouvelles technologies. Elle consiste aussi à apporter des réponses simples à des problématiques concrètes rencontrées chaque jour par les professionnels de l'immobilier. Merci à Hugues Marchal pour ce partage d'expérience et à l'ensemble des partenaires engagés dans ce POC. Site internet : https://scoob.fr/

El sector #urbanistico suele vincularse como un vertical tradicional, difícil de disrumpir tecnológicamente. Sin embargo desde España han aparecido varios proyectos ya consolidados en este área, como Spotahome o Badi. Esta semana queremos poner el foco en el proyecto de Urbanitae. Es una plataforma de #crowdfunding #inmobiliario, donde los promotores encuentran financiación alternativa a la bancaria y los que invierten encuentran rentabilidades también más altas de la media. Tanto es así que el problema suele ser que hay más gente para invertir que proyectos disponibles, lo cual da pista de que el modelo está funcionando. Vamos a verlo con Diego Gallego, ex CMO de Urbanitae desde 2020 a comienzos de este año y que por tanto vio crecer el proyecto desde ser 7 en el equipo a superar la centena.Enlaces de interés:Ecommerce Awards: Finalistas y Asistencia a la gala⭐ [Beloved sponsor] Empathy.co, búsqueda ética y privada para un eCommerce más humanaWeb de Urbanitae

Send us Fan MailIs Google about to change real estate forever?For years, Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, and brokerage websites have dominated the home search experience. But what happens when Google stops being a search engine and starts becoming an AI-powered real estate advisor?In this episode, we explore one of the biggest "what if" scenarios in real estate: What if Google bought Zillow? 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. If buyers can simply ask AI where to live, what house to buy, which neighborhood fits their lifestyle, and which agent to hire, what happens to Zillow, Realtor.com, brokerages, and traditional lead generation?In this episode we discuss:• What Google NotebookLM is and why it matters• How AI is changing the future of search• Why Google may be entering the real estate business• Whether Google could realistically acquire Zillow• How a Google-Zillow combination would impact agents and brokerages• What happens to Realtor.com, Homes.com, and other portals• The future of lead generation and online marketing• Whether federal regulators would block a Google-Zillow merger on antitrust grounds• Why the biggest threat may not be AI replacing agents—but AI replacing portalsWhether you're a real estate agent, broker, lender, investor, or simply curious about the future of technology and housing, this conversation will help you understand where the industry may be headed next.What do you think? Will Google eventually become the dominant platform in real estate?

Dans ce nouvel épisode de l'Interview Maille'Immo, Corentin Brabant échange avec Mathieu Bonin, CEO de Cedrus Solutions, startup de la promotion 2026 qui développe une approche innovante pour accélérer la transition énergétique du secteur. Face à un constat partagé par de nombreux acteurs de l'immobilier — données incomplètes, patrimoines mal connus, difficultés à prioriser les investissements — Cedrus mise sur l'intelligence artificielle pour aider à collecter, fiabiliser et exploiter la donnée bâtimentaire à grande échelle. Ce que nous retenons de cet échange : - la décarbonation est autant un défi de connaissance que de rénovation ; - la qualité de la donnée conditionne la pertinence des décisions d'investissement ; - les propriétaires et gestionnaires ont besoin d'outils capables de massifier l'analyse de leur patrimoine ; - l'enjeu n'est plus seulement d'identifier les travaux à réaliser, mais de construire des trajectoires énergie-carbone réalistes et pilotables dans le temps. Pour Maille'Immo, cette vision illustre parfaitement l'un des enjeux majeurs de la transformation du secteur : faire dialoguer expertise immobilière, donnée et technologies pour accélérer le passage à l'échelle des solutions de transition. Merci à Mathieu Bonin pour cet échange et son regard sur les défis qui attendent les propriétaires, gestionnaires et investisseurs dans les années à venir. Bonne écoute !

Why does so much PropTech fail in estate agency? In this podcast, I chat with Annalese Walmsley about tech fatigue, AI hype and why adoption matters more than flashy features. We also explore onboarding, training and smarter tech decisions for estate and letting agents.

In this episode of the Smashi Business Show, we explore Dubizzle Group's strategic investment in Tern, a pioneer in the UAE rental rewards landscape that brings flexible credit card payments to tenants. We then shift to a crucial sovereign update as the UAE restructures the board of Etihad Credit Insurance under Dr. Thani Al Zeyoudi to boost global export protections. Finally, we break down Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick's plans to launch a Saudi IPO for his new AI and robotics venture, Atoms, despite a regional cooling in new public listings.

Choon Lee is CEO and founder of Abstra Company and Abstra Point, and has been working in artificial intelligence for fifteen years. Lee explains why generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude are not always the right solution, particularly for derivative tasks like lease abstraction and LOI summarization in commercial real estate. He breaks down the difference between generative, derivative, and analytical AI, and why using the wrong model leads to hallucinations and unreliable results. Lee also discusses the limitations of vibe coding, why subject matter experts are more important than ever, and whether AI agents are ready to be trusted with real-world tasks.

What happens when a longtime facility manager steps beyond the built environment to help reshape it through technology? In this episode of Connected FM, host Brent Ward welcomes Billy Holder, Founder & CEO at Project Aidra, for a conversation about digital transformation, AI and the evolving role of facility management in a technology-driven world. Drawing from nearly 30 years of experience in facility management, Billy shares how recurring operational frustrations led him from the FM field into the PropTech space. He discusses why documentation overload, disconnected systems and inefficient workflows pushed him to search for smarter solutions powered by AI and automation. The conversation explores how facility managers can use technology to augment the workforce instead of replacing it, why human connection still matters in smart buildings, and what organizations should consider when evaluating PropTech platforms and AI-enabled tools. Whether you are a facility manager navigating digital transformation or simply curious about where the built environment is headed next, this episode offers practical insights into the future of FM and the people shaping it.

The UK takes around 134 days to complete a home purchase, and roughly a third of sales fall through. The problem isn't technology. It's data: manual, duplicated, non-portable, non-trusted data. In this episode of the Digital Disruption Podcast, Claire Van der Zant, Chief Exec of Novus Strategy, is joined by three organisations who have just proved a different model works. The Smart Property Data Trust Framework Sandbox has run its first successful test, moving data between organisations with provenance and trust intact, rather than recreating it from scratch at every organisational boundary. Our guests: Stephen Ward, Director of Strategy and External Relations  at the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) Eddie Davies, Deputy Director for PropTech and Platform Integration at HM Land Registry Kieran Witt, Founder of Kotini   What we cover: What actually moved in the sandbox, and how data travelled with a signature and a verifiable key Why you no longer need to trust the company sending the data, only the framework underpinning it The "innovation tax" firms pay to access data, and what falls away once it's removed "Speed to confidence": why certainty earlier in the transaction matters more than raw speed What changes for lenders, including the thousands of identity mismatches that quietly derail automation What's left to solve: governance, agreed standards, and getting the whole market to move together To be the first to receive our monthly Digital Disruption newsletter in print, sign up here: https://events.novus-strategy.com/newsletter-sign-up For more insights, visit https://www.novus-strategy.com/ connect with us on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/novus-strategy/ or email us at hello@novus-strategy.com.

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. We dig into what deep tech really means today, why it's suddenly attracting so much capital, and how economics, government tailwinds, and AI as a “killer app” have pulled these once niche technologies into the mainstream. We also explore the growing concentration of capital in a handful of hyperscale winners, the tension between consensus vs. non-consensus investing, and what all of this means for emerging managers, LPs, and founders operating at the zero-to-one stage.Thanks for listening to another episode of Venture Unlocked.

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.  Links reSpace Snapshot by reSpace Katrina Romatowski on LinkedIn Links Signal Conference 1000Watt Sponsors Aligned Showings — MLS-owned showing software built to simplify scheduling, improve communication, and keep MLS data where it belongs.

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 Listing Bits Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg Robertson is joined by Dominik Pogorzelski from Restb.ai to discuss the evolution of AI in real estate—from early photo tagging to large-scale property intelligence. They cover how AI is now embedded in MLS workflows, powering listing input, compliance, and valuation, while also exploring the challenges of scale, accuracy, and the future of AI in the industry.  Key Takeaways Restb.ai has been AI-first from the start, building on early computer vision models before the current AI boom.  Their tech automatically tags listing photos, generates captions, and flags compliance issues during listing input.  AI is deeply integrated into MLS workflows, improving listing data quality and agent efficiency.  Scale matters: they process ~1.5B real estate images per month, making speed, accuracy, and cost critical.  Specialized computer vision models outperform general LLMs for image tasks at scale.  Compliance is a key use case—detecting prohibited elements and AI-manipulated images in listings.  New regulations around altered images are increasing the need for detection and transparency tools.  Expansion areas include valuation, appraisal workflows, insurance, and broader property intelligence.  Links Restb.ai – https://restb.ai/ Contact: dominik@restb.ai Sponsors Aligned Showings — MLS-owned showing software built to simplify scheduling, improve communication, and keep MLS data where it belongs.

A few weeks ago, Heather appeared as a guest on The Art of Hospitality Podcast, hosted by Adam Norko and Conrad O'Connell, expecting to talk about AI. They ended up talking about values. That conversation planted a question Heather has been sitting with ever since: if you train an AI on your processes without first being clear on what your business actually stands for, are you just automating the wrong thing, faster? Adam returns to the show for a third time to help answer that question. He is the founder of VR Growth, a consultancy working with vacation rental and PropTech companies, and someone who has seen this industry from multiple angles - as a marketing director for a large management company, a vendor-side executive at Point Central and Breezeway, a Chief Growth Officer, and now an independent consultant. He is also, by his own admission, a small Airbnb host on the Outer Banks, running five properties with his wife. The conversation moves through the gap between values written on a wall and values that actually show up in daily decisions, the leadership behaviours that make the difference, how AI can help operators discover and articulate what they genuinely believe in, and Adam's emerging thinking about self-selected communities of like-minded operators as the industry's next meaningful structural development. The through-line is clear: values have to come before systems, and community has to come before scale. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
