Real Estate Forum is Seeking CRE Tech Professionals

With ever-changing, rapid advancements in modern technology, new systems and programs are implemented within the CRE industry every day. What was once new is old in the blink of an eye, as new technologies shift the marketplace at a lightning fast pace.

More and more real estate professionals are seeking innovative ways to take advantage of technology by streamlining processes to further strengthen their client-facing services, as well as their internal operations.

It is an exciting time for technology all around the world, and the CRE industry is benefitting in major ways with big data, artificial intelligence, smart mobility and new connection tools providing a colossal impact on real estate’s future. Access to knowledge and data is now available at consumer’s and professional’s fingertips, continuously growing the market through technology.

CRE tech professionals have successfully proven that technology can improve and apply to every aspect of real estate in every sector; be it through new platforms, communication portals, transaction processes, lease originations, security systems, application launches and more.

It takes a passionate, curious and determined professional to identify a lack in industry technology and effectively fill the void with newfound approaches and processes. These individuals and firms are changing the industry with rapid, transparent systems, as they steadfastly take action to ensure the success of the industry’s future.

Do you know a CRE tech professional that has showcased exceptional modernization efforts through a deep understanding of industry needs/? Have you worked with a CRE tech firm that has altered and streamlined the way you conduct business? Do you know of an individual or company that is vastly impacting the industry through their innovative technology efforts?

In GlobeSt. Real Estate Forum’s next influencer series, we will shine a spotlight on those who have helped streamline CRE processes through technology, created technology applications within the marketplace, or generated new technology opportunities within the industry. Whether it be through contributions to the industry, the vast successes they have acquired, or the innovations and best practices that they have introduced to the market, these individuals and firms are Commercial Real Estate’s Influencers in Technology.

We will highlight individual pioneers, teams and groups within companies and entire organizations that have made an impact with their efforts and have become crucial to the industry.

Chosen nominees will be profiled in a prominent feature in our January/February issue of Real Estate Forum. Influencers will also be recognized online at GlobeSt.com.
