• 0:26
  Speaker 2: be corrected if I'm wrong here, and I probably am.

• 0:36
  Speaker 2: companies in the awards.
• 0:38

  Speaker 1: Good morning, Denbra morning.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Guys.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Do you know if this is the first time we've
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: had local finalists or have we had that before?
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: I don't. I think we've had a local finalist previously.
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: This is the first time we've had three local companies,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: which is super exciting.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, we'll take that as a first for sure.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's really Yeah, it's super impressive. And for those
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: who don't know, Chris, what are the prop tech Awards?
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: So the prop Tech Awards are basically the Property Technology Awards.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: They're a national award. They're run by prop Tech Australia.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: This is the sixth year. They have about thirty five
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: awards that they give away and they cover really companies
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: that are looking to improve real estate, property management, property transactions,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: building management, marketing and sales. So they cover a full
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: property spectrum and they cover startups, scale ups, established suppliers
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: and leaders and teams.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: So yeah, they kind of cover everything.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: And it's a pretty big deal because it's a national
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: stage for these three local companies to be on, which
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: is awesome and we're excited to be a part of it. Okay.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And so before we get to list, which are the
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: other two local companies that are being nominated and what
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: do they do?
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so there are the two others of Rooms and okside,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: So OX Rooms is like in the property transaction exchange space.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: So when you go see your solicitor, all the documents
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: and everything that are happening there, so you're conveyancing activities.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Oxy Rooms have built this really cool product that works
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: in that space, making it all really secure, our safe
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: assisting with collaboration. Arc Site is more in the building
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: management space, so they've built a really cool platform to
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: help with strata complexes with their maintenance records, compliance documents,
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: defect management.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: So they've got a strata manager and they're not keeping
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: on top of things.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Ark Site is a really great tool that will keep
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: them accountable as well. So yeah, it's really really cool.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: We're all competing in different categories, which is also great.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: We're not competing against each other.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, that is awesome. And Chris, now to you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: remind us of what you guys offer at least and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: how it's all going.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Yes, so, mister, we've been going for a bit over
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: a year.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: In Camera. We offer a different way to do sales transactions.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: So we're a fully licensed agent, but we've built a
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: tech platform that supports people through the sale process and
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: as a result, we're kind of not in that DIY space,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: but we're in that middle space, almost like a hybrid
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: between a full agency service and DII service to sell
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: your property. Because we've built this really cool tech platform.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: We're able to sell properties faster, we're getting better results
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: than traditional agents, we're getting really good reviews, and it's
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: really all coming together nicely. So yeah, happy to keep
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: growing and keep seeing where it goes. From a list
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: of perspective, but excited to be part of these awards.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, it must be super exciting
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: to be nominated on the national stage.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the first for us, and being only a year.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Old, it is really exciting. And we're in a category
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: which is sort of the sales and marketing category, So
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: we're competing against a lot of platforms that have built
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: tech purely to support real estate agents in the work
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: we're doing, whereas we're kind of on the other side
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: where we're supporting the buyers and sellers in the transactions
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: that they need to do.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: So it's an interesting position to be in. We're sort of.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: Taking on the real estate industry. You know, there's fantastic
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: there's fantastic agents out there, but sometimes in particularly in
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: a market like we've got at the moment, you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: you can save a lot of money by using something
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: like Lister where our fee at the moment is a
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: five and a half grand fixed commission, which is a
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: big difference to a traditional agent. That we're sharing the
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: workload with the sellers, which is where we can deliver
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: a more efficient service.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Well, it's so good that all you guys are representing us,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: which is fantastic and Chris, we look forward to hearing
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: how it all goes in July. Thank you so much
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and congrats.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Again, no worries.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: We'll keep you guys posted and updated on how we go.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: And good luck to ox Rooms and Art Fight as well.
• 4:40

• 4:43
  Speaker 1: CEO and co founder at List. The awards are in
• 4:47
