Technology is collapsing the diligence, title and legal work that has always governed the pace of a real estate transaction. AI is accelerating that shift, making speed to certainty a competitive differentiator and giving the parties able to move fastest an advantage in winning the asset. This panel explores what that means in practice: how technology is changing the pace of deals, where competitive advantage will come from, and what real estate teams need to do differently.
