Whisky and networking 🤝

On 23rd July, we're hosting The Intelligence Exchange.

Estate agency leaders will be joining us for a private roundtable in London where we’ll be digging into the question: How is AI actually changing the way agencies operate?

No presentations. No panels. Just honest conversation and a whisky tasting.

If you joined us for our Alto Intelligence event, you know we can put on one hell of an industry meet-up. The Intelligence Exchange is invite-only - but - we've decided to open up the chance for 2 lucky people from our LinkedIn community to join in the fun.

🎟️To enter, simply answer this question via the form below: If AI could take one task off your plate tomorrow, what would it be?

Entries close Sunday 12th July.
Full T&Cs in the comments.

There are roughly 61,000 people in the UK with "residential landlord" listed as their job title on LinkedIn — and most letting agents have never thought to reach them there.

From hosting expert-led webinars to using WhatsApp broadcast lists for client updates, there's no shortage of ways to start more conversations. The harder part is keeping track of them all.

We've rounded up 5 ways estate agents can engage more customers across the channels they're already using 👇

48% of UK workers waste three or more hours a day on inefficient systems. For a five-branch agency, that's not a productivity problem. It's a strategic one.

Multi-branch agencies are carrying the highest daily transaction volumes since 2022. The ones falling behind aren't short of instructions. They're short of infrastructure. Fragmented data across branches, inconsistent compliance processes, and legacy systems that were fine for a smaller business five years ago.

The agencies pulling ahead have one thing in common: unified technology that gives leadership real-time visibility, keeps compliance consistent across every office, and builds the data foundation that makes AI actually work.

Alto has completed 1,600+ migrations since 2019. Average go-live: 16 days.
We've put together the full playbook — branch sequencing, data audits, staff concerns, and the 12 questions to ask any provider before you sign.

78% of buyers go with the first agent to respond. Not the cheapest. Not the most experienced. The fastest.

But most estate agents are still handling enquiries manually — which means leads sitting overnight, viewings not booked, and instructions going to a competitor who replied first.

Our latest guide breaks down everything you need to know about AI lead management in 2026: how it works, what to look for, and how Alto, Street and Reapit actually compare in practice.
