Bob Courteau, CEO at Altus Group, recently spoke at RealComm and caught up with GlobeSt.com to talk a bit more about his panel discussion: “The Age of Acceleration—The Real Estate Tech Giants Weigh In.” As part of the discussion, he told us that the technologies coming into the marketplace in the next few years will be based on AI, automation, better risk management and will measure value more similar to the way equity and financial markets already do now, but essentially it will be all about the data being used, analyzed and managed in more powerful ways.
GlobeSt.com: What are you seeing in the business – demand, growth objectives, etc.?
Bob Courteau: We're entering into a fascinating time of accelerated adoption of technology. We just invested in Honest Buildings, and have previously invested in Waypoint and REIX, and we're continuing to look at, partner with and invest in early stage proptech companies that have the potential to enable and drive the consumption of technologies much faster for clients.
