Unlock Success in Real Estate with Data Analytics

Real Estate with Data Analytics

The world of commercial real estate (CRE) is rapidly changing, as consumers evolve how and where they live, work, travel, shop, dine and more. The key to unlocking success in real estate in this changing world is using data analytics. Previously, real estate professionals relied on conventional metrics such as trade area rules of thumb like 1-3-5 mile radius, or on customer surveys that are hard to scale and get stale quickly. But today, the power of consumer behavior data enables much more granular insights into both prospective customers as well the location of the site itself. With these granular insights, real estate professionals can mitigate risk, enhance their services and make better decisions to propel their businesses to new heights.
