One of the best ways to find new inspiration and motivation in the world of real estate is to watch a few good TED Talks. TED Talks are short discussions held by prominent leaders from industries all over the world, and they’re usually meant to inspire and educate those watching while also occasionally presenting solutions to problems within whatever field they’re discussing. Real Estate is no stranger to these talks, as there are hundreds of real estate agents who are looking for guidance all around the world each and every day. Let’s take a look at some of the best TED Talks discussing real estate.
Moore’s Law Of Real Estate – Gunnar Branson

His talk is full of examples that will help you understand what’s happening in the field. The talk is to everyone who owns a home, but it also applies to landlords. Branson states that people tend to get selective when it comes to choosing products, and this is why he believes that the increasing number of people buying homes is causing the physical space requirements of their houses to decrease. This could eventually be an issue for commercial real estate.
