Out of the blue, a competing broker invited me to lunch. He was on one side of the lake that divides Seattle, and I was on the other, so he and his partner of- fered to meet on an island in the middle. Driving over the bridge, it bothered me that I was apprehensive. Why should I feel that way? When I sat down, the broker spread his firm’s training materials before me. He wasn’t arguing that his agents were better than Redfin’s. He only wanted me to know that, for all of Redfin’s claims about prioritizing customers over commis- sions, his agents were also trained to put customers first. I looked through his materials, which I would have been proud to use to train Redfin’s agents. My face turned pink. I said I was sorry for claiming that Redfin’s agents had different mo- tivations than the agents at his firm. And, though we pay our agents differently, I’ve never made such claims again. What was most remarkable was what happened next: He accepted the apol- ogy. He gave me a chance to change and, over time, to belong to this industry. It’s rare for anyone, a spouse or a friend let alone a rival, to be willing to look at another person in a different light. That was a decade ago. I still think about that lunch when reading bedtime books to my boys, who often interrupt to ask about each character: “Is he bad or good?” Whatever the moral is supposed to be, the story also trains us from the earliest age to sort people into heroes and villains. The “I” in the story is always the hero. This is why my then 7-year-old began to recognize one of his harmless classmates as Harry Potter’s nemesis, Draco Malfoy. It’s why partisan differences prevent Congress from passing commonsense laws. It’s why the Packers hate the Vikings. And it’s why the real estate industry has sometimes had a siege mentality, with members of the old guard warily eyeing the barbarians at the gate. And it’s why the Swanepoel Trends Report is so valuable. This report isn’t a one- sided defense of traditional real estate, technology, real estate’s practitioners or our critics. It’s written with the savvy of an insider and the curiosity of an out- sider, so that we can see the forces now affecting our industry that have been hidden in plain sight.

  • Proptech 3.0: the Future of Real Estate
    University of Oxford Research PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE WWW.SBS.OXFORD.EDU PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate Right now, thousands of extremely clever people backed by billions of dollars of often expert investment are working very hard to change the way real estate is traded, used and operated. It would be surprising, to say the least, if this burst of activity – let’s call it PropTech 2.0 - does not lead to some significant change. No doubt many PropTech firms will fail and a lot of money will be lost, but there will be some very successful survivors who will in time have a radical impact on what has been a slow-moving, conservative industry. How, and where, will this happen? Underlying this huge capitalist and social endeavour is a clash of generations. Many of the startups are driven by, and aimed at, millennials, but they often look to babyboomers for money - and sometimes for advice. PropTech 2.0 is also engineering a much-needed boost to property market diversity. Unlike many traditional real estate businesses, PropTech is attracting a diversified pool of talent that has a strong female component, representation from different regions of the world and entrepreneurs from a highly diverse career and education background. Given the difference in background between the establishment and the drivers of the PropTech wave, it is not surprising that there is some disagreement about the level of disruption that PropTech 2.0 will create.
