Nikki Greenberg
The recipient of numerous industry awards and accolades, real estate futurist and industry trends expert, Nikki Greenberg explores the convergence of real space and cyber space.
In 2020, a decade of innovation was condensed into a matter of weeks as all around the world companies implemented new digital systems in response to pandemic lockdowns. While the new reality for realty takes shape, there is an incredible opportunity for the property industry to capitalise on the moment by setting in motion measures that will lead it to future growth, prosperity, and a positive lasting legacy.
Today, as the mortgage industry looks forward, there is a responsibility to create an industry for both the customer of tomorrow, as well as today.
