About this listen

Nadine and Ryan sit down with Susan Gerock, CIO of Elme Communities and one of the most respected voices in multifamily tech, to cut through the noise and get real about what’s actually moving the needle in real estate technology. From the one tech investment smaller firms can’t afford to skip to how applying a hospitality mindset to multifamily is reshaping the industry, Susan brings sharp insights and hard-earned lessons on aligning innovation with strategy. She also tackles cybersecurity risks, marketing tech madness, and the biggest mistakes in tech adoption (so you don’t have to learn the hard way)—plus, she shares what happens when a tech rollout goes sideways, and how to course-correct like a pro. Plus, we explore her passion for diversity and inclusion in real estate through initiatives like Real Talk and her work with 826DC. Smart insights, candid takes, and a few laughs along the way—don’t miss this one.
