Antler Agency, a full-service agency specialising in the property sector, has entered 2023 with a bang, launching its latest social platform Antler New Homes Podcast. The thought-provoking production, which explores current topics, issues, and trends, has already had some big names on screen.
CEO of Antler Agency – Simon Jenns – hosts the podcast, interviewing leading individuals in the property industry. He asks their thoughts on certain trends and what to expect from the market in the coming months, getting to the root of current issues. Since launching in late December 2022, the show has been gathering momentum, with an episode being released every two weeks. The podcast has been created as a resource for housebuilders and property fanatics alike, aimed at being a one stop shop for insights from industry leaders.
Keen listeners have already heard from Lucian Cook, Head of Residential Research at Savills UK, and Stuart Hensby, Sales and Marketing Director at Abri Homes.
Upcoming guests who will feature over the next few weeks include; Mark White, Managing Director of Bargate Homes; Chris Schutrups, Chief Executive of the Mortgage Hut; Alex Rose, Director of Corporate Agency and New Homes at Zoopla; David Cracklen, Seb Janes and Mark Adams – Co-owners of AJC Group; Paul Sams, Partner of Dutton Gregory; and Natalie Evans from Little Barn Door Home Staging.
“I felt within the sector we were lacking a go-to resource for information on the sales and marketing of new homes. It is a niche subject, so having an educational hub where individuals can hear information that can help to guide strategies and help them to perform better in their role, is the real aim of the podcast.
“The series was born from various client meetings and conversations, with many wishing to understand what others in the industry are experiencing in these unprecedented times. We have found there is a strong appetite for information on market conditions and forecasts, particularly due to the challenges housebuilders currently face. We want the podcast to be useful for anyone in the new homes industry, whether it be sales and marketing professionals, land agents, planning consultants, mortgage brokers, conveyancers, and digital portals, as the content will be relevant to a cross section of the market.”
Simon Jenns, CEO of Antler Agency and podcast host
In the first episode, released on 27th December 2022, Simon Jenns interviewed Lucian Cook, Head of Residential research at Savills. One of the most respected housing market commentators in the country, he shared his insights on what opportunities 2023 will bring for those housebuilders who “embrace the challenge”. The energy-efficiency of new homes was a key topic. Lucian has committed to bi-annual market updates on the podcast.
“This podcast is a fantastic resource for our industry and housing developers. With honest opinions and insightful facts from the experts’ mouths themselves, the information is easily digestible and completely accurate. It is a trusted source of information for anyone interested in learning about current market conditions.”
