Well-known names in estate agency go for ‘proptech’

Rob Wellstead and former Countrywide head of estate agency Bob Scarff join forces to create new technology for the property market.

Housing technology imageThere’s no word yet about what the products will actually do, but the first is due to be launched ‘very soon’ and will, say Rob and Bob, drive change in how the industry uses technology, making processes quicker and more efficient for the agents and the end customer.

Bob Scarff, formerly Managing Director of Countrywide, has recently been appointed as a non-executive director of Lenwell.

Rob has used his experience in the telecom and technology sector to conceive property technology solutions to problems that agents face every day.

He has developed ‘proptech’ solutions including Callwell – a customer response and lead management service, which are created and tested in-house at Lenwell before being marketed to the industry.

Bob Scarff imageRob Wellstead said, “It is great to partner with Bob on such an exciting journey. I know the letting process inside out as does Bob for estate agency and so it makes complete sense that we use our combined property and technology knowledge to develop new innovations for the industry. We are already working on a number of projects and will be announcing the launch of a new piece of technology soon, so watch this space.”

Bob Scarff (right) said, “I have always been interested in finding new and more efficient ways of doing things, so I am really pleased to be joining Rob in this prop tech venture. I am also delighted to become a non-executive director of Lenwell.
