The challenge
James has never been short of ideas. Questions about his patch, trends he wants to explain, angles that would help homeowners understand what's really happening in their street. He has always enjoyed creating content.
“I've always had ideas buzzing around in my head, but I haven’t always had the time to write them up.”
Turning an idea into an authoritative article meant hours of research, and for James credibility matters. His whole approach rests on evidence rather than optimism, so anything he publishes has to stand up.
He also faced the challenge every agent knows: standing out. Vendors often invite several agents to value their home, and on the surface most of them say similar things. James needed a way to show vendors why he was different, rather than just tell them.
What James does with Sprift AI
Content that wins instructions
Every article on the Property Perfectionist website is powered by Sprift AI. James interrogates the data in forensic detail, then turns what he finds into straight-talking market commentary. That includes a monthly market in numbers, plus pieces on specific postcodes and property types.
He can now produce an article in around 10 minutes. Before, it was a laborious process, and some of it wasn't possible at all.
“I don’t think I could have written an article with the level of data that Sprift AI allows me to easily gather.”
The articles do more than show he knows his patch. They bring in business. When an enquiry comes in, James follows up with a relevant piece he has written, showcasing his knowledge before even meeting the homeowner. In one case, a lead came straight back to say the information was so impressive that they’d like to instruct James.
“My articles don't just show I know my market. They win me instructions.”
Valuations
James uses the same data at valuations and in his valuation reports. For each homeowner he shows how their type of property has performed, where prices have been reduced and which price points are moving.
“Vendors have been blown away by the amount of data I can show them.”
Standing out from other agents
He uses Sprift AI to see how he compares with competing agents in his area.
“I can show vendors exactly what makes me different and why they should choose to go with me as their agent.”
New markets
When James wanted to win more homes over £1 million, he used Sprift AI to research and write about the trends in that market.
“It built my knowledge and my credibility, and now I’m in a strong position to compete for those instructions.”
The results
-
Two sales in three months: worth nearly £25,000 in fees, and it's early days.
-
Content in minutes: around 10 minutes per article.
-
Articles that win instructions: one article, sent in reply to an enquiry, helped secure an instruction.
-
A wider market: the credibility to pitch for homes over £1 million.
In James' words
“It's all about showcasing your knowledge. Sprift AI has made a genuine difference to how I'm seen as the local expert, and to the number of leads and opportunities coming in.”
What this means for other agents
Homeowners choose the agent who clearly knows their market. James shows that knowledge twice: in the articles homeowners read before they meet him, and in the evidence he brings to the valuation. Sprift AI makes both quick enough to do every month.
