Insights from this Episode
Our view is that we think technology is going to change real estate investing – Richard Croft
 
the industry is changing. The industry is becoming more accepting of technology, and the technology can improve the way that we do things – Richard Croft
 
We are just now entering into the period where I think people are really starting to commit to major projects of digital transformation – Oli Farago
 
They used to say that there were three rules to investing in real estate, which was location, location, location. I think that's changing, and is becoming space, space and connectivity. I think long term, it's going to cause a massive acceleration in adoption across the board. It is from networking that you make relationships, and through work relationships that you build businesses – Richard Croft
