At the Voice of the Agent Conference earlier this year, there were a handful of sessions where you could feel the room collectively shift forward in their seats. Moments where the noise dropped, the notebooks came out, and everyone realised: “Ah. This is important.”
Kate Faulkner OBE’s keynote was one of those moments.
This week on the Voice of the Agent podcast, we’re launching a brand-new format: bringing you live excerpts from the conference stage. And there was only one person we could possibly start with.
Kate needs little introduction. She is one of the UK’s leading property experts; a data-driven myth-buster; a trusted voice for the media, industry, and government; and, on this particular day at Bletchley Park, a woman freshly released back into the world after several weeks recovering from knee surgery - which meant the energy was high and the filters were low. A glorious combination.
In this episode, we share a particularly powerful section from her keynote. It’s a clip that got a huge reaction in the room: part explanation, part wake-up call, part masterclass in seeing the housing market as it actually is - not how the headlines frame it.
Alongside all of our regular interviews, and data downloads, this new podcast series will bring you more of the most talked-about moments from the conference, including sessions with Heather Staff, Will Ullstein from YouGov, Phill Agnew from Nudge Podcast, our Prime Market panel, and more. If you were there, it’s a perfect refresher. If you weren’t, it’s your chance to experience the best of the day.
Of course, if you’d like to watch the full, unabridged conference - every keynote, every slide, every moment - the entire event has been turned into a beautifully produced on-demand film by our friends at PVS Media. You will be able to purchase it shortly - keep an eye out for updates.
