Picture the last property tour you walked a prospective tenant through. You probably started in the lobby. Good lighting, clean finishes, maybe a coffee bar. Everyone loves the lobby. Nobody on that tour asked to see the mechanical room. But six months after move-in, that tenant isn’t thinking about the lobby. They’re thinking about why… Read More »

There’s a problem we have that we still haven’t figured out how to solve. Some of us don’t even know we have it. And it all started with AI. Not grool. Let me give you an example. A friend called me a few months ago. He’s an executive at a large real estate firm. When… Read More »
