2 Reasons Why Information Technology is Changing CRE Leasing/Sales


The commercial real estate business is not what it used to be.

Today, the modern CRE industry is being shaped by advances in cutting-edge technologies. While nearly all of today’s top tech innovations are making their way into the commercial real estate module, information technology is making the biggest impact.

Information technology is changing the way that business gets done. It’s transforming the entire leasing and sales process and therefore the entire commercial real estate business altogether.

Here’s what you need to know about information technology and why it’s having such a strong effect on contemporary CRE.

Knowledge is Power, and Information is Gold

Commercial real estate is a business that’s all about analytics. The more data a CRE company has, the more they’re able to understand their market, the better they’re able to strategize their plans, the more leads they attract - the cycle goes on.

The one with the most insights can inevitably leverage their position in the CRE market and optimize their business strategies to take advantage of everything that they know. In a complex and competitive industry like CRE, information is the most valuable commodity available.

Data, analytics, and insights are highly coveted by agents and brokers as they strive to navigate through changing market conditions. Information allows CRE pros to stay one step ahead of the game, plan for the future, and be on top of the latest trends and consumer demands.

CRE agents and brokers are always trying to learn more and remain in-the-know on all things business. Investing in advanced data and analytics software is the norm in contemporary CRE - and those who have it are wielding their power.

By looking at their market data and analyzing the information, brokers and agents are rewriting their business strategies according to these vast pools of knowledge. They are using their information technology to make all the right moves and are completely focused on optimization, productivity, and gaining market shares.

Intel is Widespread, Not Exclusive

In the past, only the biggest brokerages had access to information. But, thanks to technology, it’s become a free-for-all for everyone involved in the CRE business. Brokerages are no longer able to hold a monopoly over the competition with their data insights. Instead, information technology is spreading equal opportunities throughout the industry.

As a result, it’s no longer about who has the data - but who knows how to use it.

It’s not only the pros who have access to information technologies. Thanks to the internet, buyers and tenants have it too. Commercial clients are hitting the web before they talk to professionals, meaning that their approach to buying and leasing is strengthened - putting the pressure on agents and brokers.

Optimizing the CRE leasing and sales process is all about high-level data collection, storage, and analysis. Commercial real estate professionals who understand how to work with their data insights are dominating the arena.

Thanks to the increasing technologies available to industry professionals, the competition is getting sharper, fiercer, and more strategic than ever before. Make sure to keep your eyes on information technologies as they continue to reshape the commercial market.

4 CRE Trends We Can Attribute to Millennials

Today’s workforce is undergoing a major shift in population. As of 2017, 56 million Millennials are either working or actively searching for work , making them the largest segment of the U.S. labor force, surpassing Gen Xers in 2016 and this will eventually lead to an impact of office space needs and what companies are looking for with new office leases.   More than one out of every three American workers is a Millennial -- more than Gen Xers and much more than Baby Boomers.
