Artificial intelligence (AI) virtual assistant provider Meet Parker has appointed Dominic Grace to its advisory board.

Grace, who has 35 years’ experience at Savills, has joined the team to further the development of Meet Parker’s property solution.

As part of this process, Meet Parker will be deploying its virtual assistant at various different stages of the property process – from upfront lead generation and nurturing, to use by agents to communicate directly with clients during the property transaction.

Freddie Savundra, founder of Meet Parker, said: “Dom is a one of the most respected players in the proptech sphere, with years of experience leading the Savills London residential team.

“His expertise and experience here will be invaluable as we look to enhance the client journey when buying a property.

“People buy houses, not mortgages. While our mortgage solution is a first to market, we are keen to enhance our lead nurturing and support tool in the property sector, helping connect property seekers with agents and developers, while helping agents handle the volume of support enquiries they receive by channelling requests through Parker.

“Dom is central to our vision here and we are looking forward to working with him going forward.”

Grace added: “I’m delighted to be both an investor in and adviser to Meet Parker.

“I’m hugely impressed by the founders’ dynamism vision and focus on delivering a better journey for those seeking a mortgage, forming part of an exciting new era for a step change improvement in making house buying less bureaucratic and intimidating.”
