The conversation between Gordon and Sara centers around fascinating subjects including the contrasting experiences of working at a firm versus taking on the entrepreneurial journey. They delve into the realm of data-driven decision-making in real estate, a game-changing trend that’s reshaping the industry, and how it aids commercial real estate agents and investors in making informed investment decisions.
