2026 Theme
Productivity is the industry's biggest untapped opportunity.
The boring layer that compounds through faster decisions, fewer dropped balls.
When the models are available to everyone, the advantage comes from what you connect them to.
Own your data before someone else builds on top of it.
Real Estate is facing overlapping shocks: energy, regulation, climate, and capital. The biggest accelerant is AI.
The useful life of enterprise software is shrinking. Switching costs are falling, and legacy incumbency is weakening.
In Real Estate, most are early in their AI journey. A select few are already in production.
Nobody thinks it's optional anymore.

Where property transactions become data products. The Deal Room is the stage for valuation, brokerage, marketing, buyer intelligence, risk, and deal execution in an AI-first market. The industry asks what happens when pricing gets predictive, marketing gets autonomous, due diligence gets faster, and the best intermediaries are the ones who know how to wield data (are they even human?) - not just relationships.
