Insights from this episode

- The reality is that data is the lifeblood of digital transformation in real estate – Conrad Davies

- We always explain clients to think globally, but act locally, obviously, because there are so many differences between individual markets – Jonathan Mills
- I think the technology sector is now better understanding the real estate market, and the people that are involved, and what investors and developers really want from technology. I think what that's also meant that the tech has got better – Conrad Davies
