The real estate industry is navigating significant changes, from technological advancements to shifting consumer behaviors. In a notable development, the Perchwell CEO discussed a landmark MLS shift to next-generation technology, highlighting the sector's ongoing efforts to modernize and streamline operations. Meanwhile, companies like Wan Bridge are taking a proactive approach by building their own AI-powered tech-stacks, enabling them to do more with less and stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
