Will Your Office Survive the Next 5 Years?
Wed Feb 04 2026
Peter Brewer and Jeff Turner were supposed to fight about whether the traditional real estate office will survive. Instead, they discovered they agree on what matters most – and that's where this episode gets interesting.
The debate starts with a deliberately provocative AI-generated definition: high street storefront, listings in the window, desks for agents. Peter immediately challenges it. Jeff argues that if an office exists just to distribute information, it should disappear. But if it exists to host trust? That's different. What emerges is a genuine exploration of what space should mean in an age where AI can build relationships, distil data, and earn consumer trust in ways that feel unnervingly human.
The real takeaway isn't about bricks and mortar – it's about presence. Jeff puts it simply: don't outsource your voice, your wisdom, or the one thing that separates you from the machine. The future isn't fewer offices. It's better ones – spaces that feel more human, not less. Whether you're renewing a lease or rethinking your entire model, this conversation gives you a framework for what comes next.
