SUMMARY:RPIC - Research in CRE (2026)
DESCRIPTION:Canada is in a new era of data availability. More information exists–much of it free–than ever before. The time required to find and analyze it is shrinking fast. Yet the flood of data brings its own risks: biases\, gaps\, misleading charts\, and AI tools that confidently produce wrong answers. This four-day course teaches real estate professionals how to find the right data\, interpret it accurately\, and communicate it compellingly. \nCOURSE CONTENT: \n\nData sources and vendors\, free and paid\nVisualizing and data storytelling (great data can be meaningless without this skill)\nTechniques for analyzing data\, leaning heavily on Excel which remains a powerful tool. \nHow to scrutinize data sources for biases\, limitations\, and best and worst uses\nHow to avoid errors\, incorrect conclusions\, and misinformation in the age of AI \nGIS and mapping for analysis and storytelling\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND \nAnyone in CRE who works with data: investments\, property management\, appraisal\, development\, brokerage\, planning\, and finance. \nPREREQUISITES \n\nExcel basics (formulas\, pivot tables\, charts).\nAll data provided — no paid subscriptions required.\n\nWHAT YOU WILL LEARN \n\nTo navigate Canada’s real estate data landscape — government\, private\, and aggregated sources\nTo evaluate any data source for origin\, bias\, limitations\, and appropriate use\nTo recognize and avoid common data errors and misleading charts\nTo build clear\, accurate\, and compelling data visualizations\nTo understand GIS and mapping tools available to aid in real estate research and storytelling\nTo use AI as a research enhancer — knowing when it helps and when it misleads\n\nCOURSE INSTRUCTORS \n\nAdam Jacobs\, National Head of Research\, Colliers\nWendy Waters\, Independent Real Estate Research Specialist\n\n  \nNOTE \nTo maintain privacy and foster active participation\, the use of AI tools such as Otter or Fireflies for personal recording or note-taking will not be permitted at any REALPAC virtual event. Any unauthorized AI or automated notetakers identified will be promptly removed. REALPAC\, as the event host\, may use its own authorized tools for documentation purposes.
