Murat Yıldız – Real Estate Development, Investment & Valuation Specialist: In an environment of declining interest rates, the shift toward forward‑looking return analytics is inevitable. ARGE’s AI‑centric approach transforms valuation reports from a compliance requirement into a critical data source for portfolio optimization and risk management. The office‑to‑residential conversion surge creates supply‑demand imbalances that, when paired with precise regional projections, will unlock high‑yield opportunities. In this context, the scalability and data integrity of the SADES platform will safeguard the firm’s competitive advantage over the long term.
