Recently Sam and Phil hosted a webinar called ‘AI for Agents - 5 Easy Ways to Use AI in Your Estate Agency TODAY’ and they wanted to share it with you on the podcast, so we’ve split it into two parts and you can listen to part 1 this week and part 2 next week.

You’ll hear practical examples of how to use AI for property descriptions, summarising complaints, market analysis, and automating everyday admin. Sam shares how AI helped structure an entire action plan for a client, while Phil highlights the impact of AI on consumer behaviour and how this could shift the way agencies are chosen.

Which AI tool should you choose? ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini? We take a look at the strengths and limitations of the most popular AI assistants and demonstrate how to craft better prompts, making AI outputs more human, and developing templates that save time for busy agency teams.

Here’s how we can help you to IGNITE your agency:

Some key takeaways:

➡️ AI can streamline core business operations and free up time for agents to focus on higher-value tasks.

➡️ Prompt engineering is essential! How you ask determines the quality of AI output.

➡️ Keeping updated and open to new AI tools enables you to stay ahead in a changing industry.

Some great moments:

✅ “All the information that it's collated is available on the web, but AI has found it, amalgamated it and put it into a list form which, which would take hours or days.”

✅ “It’s the consumer’s attention that’s going towards AI, which is where your changes will need to be made.”

✅ “Treat it like a child, be very accurate in what you ask for. If it gives you the wrong answer, tell it what you need.”

Sam and Phil tackle the ongoing challenge of hiring and recruitment, from feeling stretched too thin and hitting financial ceilings, to making key decisions about when and who to recruit to enable growth.

Many common business obstacles come back to recruitment but planning your agency’s structure ahead of time can also help break plateaus and prepare for long-term progress.

Why should you prioritise recruitment, even when time or finances feel tight, and how can you step back from frontline agency work to drive success?

Some key takeaways:

➡️ Recruitment is often the answer when your estate agency hits a ceiling or the owner is overwhelmed.
➡️ Building a future-focused Org chart helps clarify hiring needs and unlock the next stage of business growth.
➡️ Investing time in recruitment—even when it feels impossible—prevents bottlenecks and prepares your agency for opportunity.

Some great moments:

✅ “As soon as you drop down to a level that is paid less than you want to take as a salary, you’re costing your business the opportunities that you would create otherwise.”
✅ “If you don’t have time to recruit, it’s because you didn’t recruit when you were supposed to recruit. The best time to recruit is right now.”
✅ “No successful business ever has one person bank access ever. That will definitely slow you down.”

Some key takeaways:

➡️ Designing your agency around your personal goals is both possible and impactful.
➡️ Creating business systems allows owners to step away without sacrificing client service.
➡️ Motivation and agency progress can be fuelled by having clear lifestyle rewards in mind.

Some great moments:

✅ “What it allows me to do is go full speed for a period of time. And I'm sure there's people out there that can go full speed for the full year, but my head doesn't work like that.”
✅ “It gives me headspace and clarity. It gives me motivation to come back and earn money because I want more experiences like that.”
✅ “So what's important to me is lots of holidays and time in the family. I'm not interested in watches at all or anything like that.”
