After attending the IMN Real Estate CFO & COO West conference this week, our real estate team came back with one clear takeaway: finance and operations leaders are planning several moves ahead.
The conversations reinforced several priorities weโre seeing across commercial, development, and multifamily real estate:
โข Insurance costs are no longer just a renewal issue. They are affecting underwriting, construction planning, lease risk, and operating strategy.
โข Debt and refinancing conversations need to happen earlier, especially as terms, timing, and lender expectations continue to shift.
โข AI and technology are only useful when the underlying processes are documented and the data is clean.
โข Real estate decisions are becoming more connected across tax, financing, reporting, insurance, systems, and operations.
For Duffy Kruspodin, this is where the work continues after the event: translating what we heard into more focused conversations with clients, industry partners, and our real estate team.
More than accountants. Built around how real estate decisions actually play out.
