JK Luxe Estates has signed up to Alto as it looks to scale its premium estate agency operation across Bedfordshire and neighbouring growth hotspots including Milton Keynes, Luton, Northampton and Cambridge.
The agency, part of a wider property group spanning investment, sourcing, management and serviced accommodation, has turned to the all-in-one CRM platform to centralise operations and automate large parts of its workflow.
The move brings sales, lettings, management and investor engagement under a single system as the business targets the upper end of the market.
JK Luxe Estates has grown from managing HMO and investment stock into a full-service, boutique estate agency, with a heavy focus on digital marketing, professional photography and cinematic video to achieve higher sale prices for clients.
STREAMLINE COMPLIANCE
Consolidating its systems is seen as critical to supporting expansion while maintaining a premium, highly polished customer experience.
The agency intends to use Alto to streamline compliance, automate tenancy documentation, reduce manual admin and create a more transparent process for landlords, sellers and investors.
Management, maintenance and communications will also be run through the platform as the business positions itself for further geographic and sectoral growth.
STRUCTURE AND SIMPLICITY
Founder Josh Kumar (main picture) says: “I started out sourcing investment deals and managing HMOs, but as the business grew, so did the number of spreadsheets, emails, and manual processes.
“Alto gives me the structure and simplicity I need. It lets me run everything from property management and maintenance to sales and investor lists in one place without juggling multiple platforms. It’s a massive time-saver and a big step towards the professional, luxury brand I’m building with JK Luxe Estates.”
SOLID FOUNDATIONS
He adds: “With a background in innovation and automation, I’ve always believed technology is the key to delivering a truly high-end experience. From the first valuation through to completion, my goal is to make every interaction smarter, faster, and more polished – Alto helps me achieve exactly that.
“For me, Alto isn’t just about saving time, it’s about setting solid foundations for growth.
“It allows me to manage compliance, automate tenancy agreements, and deliver a premium experience for both vendors and investors.
“My goal is to establish JK Luxe Estates as a trusted, high-end agency in Bedfordshire and beyond. Alto gives me the scalability and professional edge to make that happen.”
SCALE SMARTLY
Nick Shaw, Chief Revenue Officer at Alto, says: “Josh’s journey from property investor to full-service agency owner is a great example of how entrepreneurial agents are using technology to scale smartly.
“JK Luxe Estates’ focus on delivering a premium, seamless experience aligns perfectly with Alto’s mission to simplify, automate, and power the next generation of modern agents. We’re proud to support their growth story.”
