THOUGHT LEADERS
REAL ESTATE REIMAGINED

This week, we released a new episode of Thought Leaders, Curtis Thomson, co-founder of Simpro, and now heading up Our Property. We discuss the deep-seated inefficiencies in property management and how automation and AI can free property managers to focus on what truly matters, moving beyond the "way things have always been done.”

Curtis Thomson is something of a systems whisperer for industries bogged down by manual processes.

Having cut his teeth in the construction world and co-founded and scaled the field service management software Simpro across the globe, he witnessed firsthand how disjointed systems and repetitive tasks can drain businesses and the people within them.

He saw friends in the trades working gruelling hours only to face business failure and personal hardship, sparking a passion to solve these efficiency problems with technology.

Host Samantha McLean quizzes Curtis on how fresh eyes - and two decades of ops wizardry - can reboot property management profits.

Why hit play (in <30 min):

  • Busywork is stealing your free time. Curtis shows how stripping away admin gives you back more personal time.

  • Big beasts, tiny tweaks. His “pick-one-bottleneck, fix-it-fast” playbook turns small workflow fixes into five and six-figure monthly wins you can actually bank.

  • Tech that finally helps. From sentiment-aware inboxes to churn-spotting AI, Curtis keeps it plain-English and landlord-friendly—zero buzzword bingo.

Cue it up—video or audio, your pick—while you sip that Saturday coffee.
