The very first Kato Awards - judged by data, not jury!

These awards recognise some of the top agents, agencies and more from across Kato and the Agents Society; those who are using tech to be top of their game. Awards are based on data points such as instruction level, marketing, workflow, reporting and deal doing.

We were delighted to announce the winners last week over on LinkedIn and bring them all together here for a roundup!

Landlord Rep Agent / Agency of the Year

Recognising high levels of instruction, quality of marketing collateral, high exposure, digital landlord reporting and deal closing.

Kato is a platform we and our industry rely on daily, making this recognition all the more meaningful. The fact that this award is based on data rather than a jury is a true testament to Team Compton’s dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to our clients.

– Compton

Agents Society Agents of the Year

Recognising quality and completeness of marketplace listings, speed of matches, responses, enquiry handling and progression of deals.

Kato is a fantastic platform and CRM which helps power my team to not only produce high quality marketing but analyse and report back to clients. In recent months, we have also worked closely to optimise our internal reporting too, to improve our ways of working and identify our audiences, using data alongside the “gut feelings” that every agent uses to observe the market. It’s such a fundamental tool for my job that I use so often, that even my website browser lists it ahead of Instagram and BBC News.

To put it simply, whilst I am no Brad Pitt, if this was Moneyball, Kato would be Jonah Hill.
