6th Annual Real Estate Outlook: PropTech Applications for Today and in the Future

CFA Society New York
Thursday, April 23 | 5:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Mehrzad Mahdavi, Executive Director at the FDP Institute will deliver the keynote speech at the 6th annual Real Estate Outlook.

Advanced technologies (e.g. AI, machine learning) are slowly permeating the real estate industry which is allowing owner/operators, investors, agents/brokers and other end-users of real estate to operate in a more efficient real estate marketplace. Consumers who are searching for their “dream-home” can use PropTech applications to review customized floor plans of home models, ideally in 3D. Owner/operators who seek to push NOI for their portfolio are now taking a data-first approach to manage operational workflows such as energy management, maintenance & repairs as well as CapEx forecasting. Other PropTech applications are leveraging big data to analyze locations and properties in a specific real estate market, while providing advanced information about specific properties. While there are many other PropTech start-ups that are pushing the real estate market to new heights, we are still in the early innings.
