TRENDS TO WATCH IN THE NEXT DECADE FROM BROKER DEAN BECKER
DAVE GETZ
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...
Wonderful REALTOR ® ! Was in constant contact with us the whole time and was an expert about listing price and negotiating. We will use him again for sure. It was our first time selling a house and we weren't sure what the listing price should be. Dave researched the market and his recommendation for a listing price was perfect. We sold our house in a day and got an offer above the listing price. It was all due to Dave's knowledge.
My Wife and I recently purchased a home whereas Dave was our agent for a sale and then a new purchase. Dave was absolutely amazing to work with! I especially appreciated his timely communication and attention to detail. Dave went above and beyond in delivering to us a home which was perfect for our family! We highly recommend Dave for anyone considering a real-estate transaction! Thanks again, Dave for everything!
I gave Dave Getz the most difficult task. I asked him to find me a home in a sellers market, in a desired area and at an affordable price. He not only found me the perfect home, he helped me structure a deal that ended up beating out 15 other offers! I don’t believe I would be writing this review from the home of my dreams without his expertise. He was incredibly knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout the process. I know this is cliche to say but he really made me feel like I was his only client which I know was not the case. If you are looking for a REALTOR ® that will get it done I highly recommend Dave Getz.

THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE TRENDS TO WATCH IN THE NEXT DECADE
As a real estate broker who has seen countless shifts in the housing market, I can confidently say that we are on the cusp of one of the most transformative decades our industry has ever faced. At West USA Realty we don’t just observe the trends—we prepare for them, educate our agents, and adapt proactively. The future of real estate is being shaped by technological innovation, shifting demographics, economic pressures, and evolving client expectations. Here are some key trends that will define the next 10 years.
1. Technology Will Drive Every Aspect of the Transaction Technology isn’t just an accessory to the real estate business anymore—it’s a core component. From artificial intelligence that predicts buying behavior to blockchain-powered transactions, the way we buy and sell real estate is becoming faster, smarter, and more secure. Virtual reality home tours, augmented reality staging, and data-driven pricing tools are already here, and their use will become standard in the years to come. At West USA Realty, we are investing in tools and training that ensure our agents remain on the leading edge.
2. Remote Work Will Reshape Housing Preferences
The work-from-home revolution has forever altered where people want to live. We are seeing a sustained demand for homes in suburban and even rural areas, where buyers can find more space and affordability without sacrificing their careers. This trend will likely continue as remote and hybrid work models become the norm. Brokers and agents need to be equipped to market homes that cater to these new lifestyles, with features like home offices, high-speed internet access, and flexible living spaces.
3. Sustainability and Green Living Will Take Center Stage
Environmental concerns and energy efficiency are becoming priorities for buyers, especially among Millennials and Gen Z. Eco-friendly building materials, solar power, and smart
home energy systems are no longer fringe features—they’re expected. Real estate professionals must become fluent in green certifications, energy-saving upgrades, and sustainable building practices. Our brokerage is already educating our agents on how to guide eco-conscious clients through the homebuying process.
4. The Rise of the Next Generation of Homebuyers
Over the next decade, Millennials will continue to dominate the market while Gen Z begins to enter it in force. These buyers are digital natives who expect seamless, techenabled experiences. They value transparency, social responsibility, and speed. To attract and retain their business, brokerages must adapt their marketing strategies and communication styles. We’re preparing our agents to meet these expectations with modern CRM systems, automated marketing tools, and personalized service models.
5. Brokerage Models Will Continue to Evolve
The traditional brokerage model is giving way to more flexible, agent-centric alternatives. 100% commission structures, and team-based models are becoming increasingly attractive. Agents are looking for value—not just in commission splits, but in training, technology, and support. At West USA Realty, we’re proud to offer a model that combines strong support with the freedom agents need to build their own brand.
The next decade of real estate promises innovation, disruption, and incredible opportunity. As brokers, our responsibility is to anticipate these shifts and empower our agents with the tools, training, and mindset needed to thrive. At West USA Realty, we’re not just keeping up—we’re leading the way. The future is bright, and we’re ready for it.
