“If ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” We believe this grammatically incorrect axiom is an important warning for those who want to change for change’s sake. Unfortunately, it is also a common response from those avoiding the introspection or self-reflection that would allow companies to grow and to avoid missing great opportunities, especially those related to disruptive technologies. History is littered with cautionary tales for those who do not at least take time to continuously examine themselves and the future landscape of their sector (Blockbuster vs. Netflix and rise of streaming media, for example). Real estate is on the cusp of major change; having the knowledge and flexibility to continuously improve may be your X-factor for success. We have experience improving processes for teams ranging from complex, multi-billion dollar programs to small office collaboration and workflow projects.
Information overload has become a serious challenge in today’s world. Start-ups hold a perpetual presence in the real estate space and sometimes it is hard to separate the reality of their claims from wishful thinking. Developers need to be in a solid position to help educate state and local building authorities, lenders, and in some cases, their own building contractors. Investment firms need to be informed and knowledgeable to give confidence to their own investors and shareholders. Put us in your corner to give you the best options to consider for helping make your business future-proof.
The real estate industry has a shockingly small number of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) and only a few more Chief Technology Officers (CTOs). CTOs are often relegated to focusing on internal infrastructure to support apps and services chosen by non-technical team members. Why? Overhead. The focus is on finding the best deals, closing the best deals, building the next development, and selling. Often the technology used is haphazard smattering that was conceived via the path of least resistance. Sometimes leaders recognize the need for something valuable (like reliable comps) but aren’t sure if they are over-paying or not. With our nationwide network of technical experts, we can tap into our resources to give the leadership team technical guidance and input with less overhead cost.
Here is where the rubber meets the road. This space is filled with brokers, sellers, and buyers, and everyone is trying to find that diamond in the rough. We can help you optimize within this space, or we can help you find ways to create your own space with different methods for examining the same equation – new technologies and communities of investors forging new paths to opportunity and shared wealth.
