Technology helps real estate adapt to change during covid-19: Dani Gabriel of Marz Homes

Technology helps real estate adapt to change during covid-19: Dani Gabriel of Marz Homes

Dani Gabriele of Marz Homes: https://marzhomes.com/ We talk about how Marz is adapting to changing in the real estate development process resulting from covid-19. Dani discusses how they've changed sales offices to accommodate social distancing policy, and how they're using VR and other tools to keep sales active. Although construction productivity has declined slightly, elongating the process could actually provide a hedge against price correction risk as values recover. Following this interview, Dani mentioned that their sales volume increased since last week, substantiating the optimism we have both seen in the market.
