In this episode of the REB Business Empowerment Showcase, editor Liam Garman sits down with Ben White, co-founder and CEO of Ailo, and Jodie Stainton, Harcourts Solutions Group director of property management, to examine the forces redefining modern property management, from new technology to cultural change, and shifting consumer expectations.

White charts the sector's evolution across three major waves: the digitisation of paperwork, the rise of cloud connectivity, and now a third wave focused squarely on the customer experience. He explains why this era demands a complete rethink of how landlords, renters, and tradies interact with property managers, and how technology can streamline this shift.

Stainton talks about how Harcourts Solutions Group is unpacking new property management models and leading large teams through transformation, sharing why personalised service delivery is becoming non-negotiable, and why culture and team empowerment sit at the heart of any successful change program.

The discussion digs into the fear and friction that often accompany technological shifts, and why the agencies that confront this head-on are the ones lifting efficiency, strengthening relationships, and setting new service benchmarks.

The episode closes with an emphasis on leadership, alignment, and culture – the foundations that enable property management businesses to innovate, adapt, and thrive. With the third wave of property management now in full swing, White and Stainton reveal why vision, technology and a customer-first mindset will define the next generation of industry leaders.
