How is proptech transforming real estate?  

PropTech is going places! Over the years, the real estate industry has come to realize the importance of data management and how those insights can be from PropTech platforms. There is more transparency, tighter control on data, and operational efficiencies gain to achieve with using proptech.

One word to describe Retransform?

Cohesive. We strive to meet and exceed client expectations and take pride in client longevity.

Who do you look up to?

My parents—they have nurtured independence and taught me self-reliance. They have also influenced traits like compassion, humbleness, integrity, accountability, resilience and self-respect.

How do you see Retransform changing in the next few years?

I see us expanding our geographical footprint for technology and business management services provided by our skilled and certified real estate professionals and Proptech platforms, such as Valere, 4see Analytics and Secure built for the real estate industry.

What are the barriers to proptech adoption?

Resistance to learning new technology and not committing to using technology!  The more companies become open minded to accept change, they will only then realize the true impact of Proptech solutions.

Our client relationships begin with realization of shortcomings which in turn leads to acceptance of changes and improvisations.

What challenges is the real estate industry facing (and how can we overcome them)?

Obtaining valuable resources. I take pride in our company being able to withstand the pandemic’s challenges and has sustained over 300 employees through it all. We have those resources to help overcome other companies’ employee retention and how our services can produce optimal objectives for others.
