Gatewise CRO Joe Summers discusses his move from retail to multifamily, keys to strong industry relationships, and tech trends on the Multifamily X podcast. Learn how curiosity and centralization will drive multifamily forward.

In a recent Multifamily X podcast, our CRO Joe Summers discussed his move from retail to multifamily, noting the latter's relationship-centric nature.

Joe highlighted Gatewise's work bringing affordable access solutions to B & C properties:

"We were coming into properties that hadn't had their gates working in years, and we were able to put our technology directly in line with their gate. They didn't have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to replace their gate."

He also touched on the industry's need for centralization, AI integration, and a focus on resident experience. His leadership advice? "Be curious, not judgmental. Curiosity drives innovation and helps build stronger connections."
