LAS VEGAS—Real estate is evolving rapidly, and innovation has become crucial for success in the industry. This was the message from panelists at RETCON 2025 in Las Vegas, who emphasized that those who thrive in the future will be those who can best leverage technology and innovation to drive business and team success.
Andrew Segal, Chairman & CEO of Boxer Property, stressed that adopting AI is no longer optional in today’s market. “It’s like saying, ‘I’m not going to use computers in real estate.’ That just isn’t an option anymore,” he said.
Panelist John Carlson, CEO of Mark-Taylor, Inc., echoed that sentiment, noting the significant investment in AI across the global real estate landscape. “The biggest players are making transformative investments in AI. We’ve always been a bit behind the curve, and we really need to shift our mindset to adapt to a world that’s changing rapidly,” Carlson said.
