Over the past decade, the city’s real estate market has evolved based on trending neighborhoods, supply and demand, and interest rates.

While local real estate has expanded, so has the community of professionals behind that industry, including the creation of the Real Estate Pride Council. The council connects LGBTQ realtors around the country.

Tom Vecchione, Vice Chairman and Managing Principal of the architecture and design firm Vocon, who is also on the board of the Real Estate Pride Council, joined “The Rush Hour” on Tuesday to talk about the group and the future of the industry.
