Commercial real estate (CRE) is going digital faster than you can say “cap rate.” And honestly, the CRE platform is the engine driving this whole thing. The numbers don’t lie: firms that actually use these platforms? They’re seeing deal speeds jump by, get this, 25%, and slashing costs by around 15%. That’s real money, folks. All thanks to smoother operations, smarter data, you name it. You’ve probably heard of names like Crexi, LoopNet, Realmo, Showcase… they’re big for a reason, helping businesses work way smarter.
