EWAN MORTON
Managing Director at Morton Real Estate
The prediction for 2016 was that values would decline. They didn’t, but volumes did. I’m hoping for a calming of prices so that volumes pick up. But, to be honest, we’ll concentrate on making sure we do the best job we can, as many times as we can, regardless of market conditions.
The threats of disintermediation and disruption will still have currency in 2017 and as a business and in fact as an industry, we need to keep on our toes and ensure we are adding value to our clients.
2016 was largely about acceptance that change is coming but confusion around what that change actually was and the impacts. This will continue into 2017, but I am confident Morton will be well placed to cope.
