Week Seven Winners

This week’s winners bring the brains, the brand power, and the energy that keep the industry moving. They’re the ones running multiple companies at once, turning complex data into clear advantage, and building franchises from pure grit and good ideas. Some make tech look effortless, others make marketing look like art, and a few make it impossible not to like them. They move fast, think big, and never blend in. If real estate had a power grid, this crew would be the ones keeping the lights on.

Week Seven is sponsored by .realestate.
