Fifth Wall's Brendan Wallace and CBRE's Connor Hall explore innovation in commercial real estate, from flexible workspaces to AI-driven investment strategies.Share these insights on proptech investing: · Investing in PropTech, like all venture capital investments – is high risk and high reward. Investors typically underwrite 40%+ internal rates of return (IRRs), betting that a few transformative companies succeed and compensate for those that fail. · Investing in PropTech provides early access to innovations that enhance asset performance, reduce costs and create competitive differentiation. · Artificial intelligence is expected to improve underwriting, asset selection and risk modeling for real estate investors. Those that adopt AI-driven tools early may gain a significant edge. · The initial public offering (IPO) market has slowed, but standout exits like ServiceTitan show that public capital is still available for top-tier companies. Investors in private companies should be prepared for longer holding periods prior to exits. · The most investable PropTech companies are those that solve challenges for real estate in operations, capital markets, risk management and elsewhere. Deep industry knowledge is key to identifying winners.

Isabelle Stapf, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Payments, at RealPage gave us an exclusive on their new LOFT app. Demand for apartments is at a record high, with renters signing new leases and renewing their existing stays in droves. Residents' expectations have also increased as they want their renting experience to be as seamless as the rest of their online life. That means integrated technology, financial wellness tools and rewards for their loyalty. RealPage, the leading provider of AI-enabled software platforms to the real estate industry, is addressing the needs of modern residents through an innovative technology called LOFT. RealPage created this new mobile app as a one-stop solution for a fulfilling apartment lifestyle from leasing to living, with easy move-in guidance, a financial wellness platform and a loyalty program to earn rewards when residents pay rent on time. Residents can pay their way, through their digital wallet, by snapping a picture of a check or splitting it into smaller chunks. Since launching in early 2025, RealPage's LOFT is already being offered by more than 500 apartment properties across America, giving more than three million residents access to LOFT, with many more to come. “Residents, and especially digital natives, demand digital experiences as part their apartment living lifestyles,” said Isabelle Meyer Stapf, RealPage Senior Vice President and General Manager, Payments. “Through LOFT, RealPage is prioritizing financial wellness for renters, bringing them solutions to earn rewards, make flexible rent payments and build their credit.” LOFT also simplifies the renter's journey from leasing to living. LOFT Leasing is a first-of-its-kind leasing experience that guides residents through application, approval and signing – with AI capabilities to streamline the back and forth. LOFT Moving enables a simplified moving experience for residents with a configurable moving checklist and integrations with local providers to order utilities, internet and moving services. And LOFT Loyalty allows residents to earn points for paying rent online and on time with any payment method. Residents can then redeem those points for rewards from airline and hotel travel to local restaurants and movie theatres. Property managers find value in LOFT, as their residents have one app for all of their essential tasks. Jess Molasky, Chief Operating Officer of Ovation, a RealPage customer who owns and manages apartments throughout the country added, “If I can reward my residents to show up, if I can reward my residents to make payments on time, and again, if I can have that stronger relationship because their moving experience was a good one, we become their ally.” Visit loftliving.com to learn more.

David Blumenfeld is the co-founder of Next Rivet, a proptech advisory firm that helps real estate businesses leverage digital technology to solve real business challenges. With experience leading business development at Westfield Labs—the innovation arm of Westfield Shopping Centers—David has a deep understanding of how to bridge the gap between traditional real estate operations and emerging technologies. At Next Rivet, he focuses on building tailored technology roadmaps and overseeing successful implementation, ensuring that technology delivers measurable impact, not just flashy concepts.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Proptech is not about chasing buzzwords—it's about identifying business problems first and applying the right tools to solve them. The biggest failure in tech implementation comes from unclear business requirements, not from the technology itself. AI is not a stand-alone solution but an ingredient that enhances existing tools and processes. Operational efficiencies, lease management, and tenant experience are key focus areas where technology can provide immediate ROI. Success comes from doing the upfront work: define your goals clearly, then explore solutions.     Topics What Is Proptech and Why It Matters Proptech (property technology) spans digital leasing tools, building management systems, smart locks, energy efficiency tech, tenant experience platforms, and more. The slow adoption rate in real estate offers an opportunity for forward-thinking operators to gain an edge. Focus should always be on solving operational challenges—not on adopting tech for tech's sake. Avoiding the “Deck on the Desk” Problem Many consulting firms hand over a giant report without real action steps. Next Rivet helps clients move from strategy to implementation, working directly with vendors and ensuring real results. Their approach is tech-agnostic—choosing the right tools for the job, not locking clients into a specific vendor. Where Most Owners Should Start with Tech Focus on basic operational systems: lease digitization, renewal tracking, building management systems. Use AI as a layer within these systems to streamline lease abstraction, document review, and operations. Prioritize energy efficiency tools that can produce real cost savings (e.g., HVAC optimization, smart metering). Technology Across Asset Classes Retail: Enhance shopper experience through frictionless parking, special tenant offers, and real-time inventory insights. Office: Provide infrastructure that allows tenants to customize their tech stack while the building remains future-proof. Multifamily: Combine leasing, operations, and tenant engagement into seamless digital experiences. How to Vet and Choose Tech Solutions Wisely Clearly define business needs before engaging vendors. Develop tight business and technical requirements—just like architectural plans for a building. Avoid jumping into tools just because they're AI-powered or new; focus on real benefits and usability.

Industry Relations with Rob Hahn and Greg Robertson

**This podcast was recorded the Friday BEFORE the announcement from NAR on CCP** In this episode of Industry Relations, Rob and Greg dissect the latest drama surrounding NAR's Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP), the DOJ's stance on MLS rules, and the future of PropTech in a shifting real estate landscape. They analyze how recent DOJ statements are being interpreted (or misinterpreted), debate whether the MLS still holds power over large brokerages, and discuss the potential consequences of a fragmented listing system. Key Takeaways • DOJ's Footnote Controversy: Did the DOJ “call out” misleading claims about CCP, or is the industry reading too much into a footnote? • The Power Struggle Over MLS Data: Rob argues large brokerages are taking control over listing distribution, while Greg questions whether MLSs still provide enough value to keep them in check. • The PropTech Dilemma: What happens to tools like CMAs, reverse prospecting, and analytics when listings become fragmented across private networks? • Compass's Playbook: Is Compass leading the charge toward a new listing system, or just using exclusive listings as a leverage play? • Enforcement vs. Policy: Greg insists MLS rules work because agents police each other, while Rob questions whether large firms can simply ignore the rules with no real consequences.
