The looming threat of tariffs, rising construction costs, supply chain volatility, and shifting market demands are disrupting real estate development. For builders taking on speculative projects, these variables introduce massive risk, especially when investing millions before knowing if buyers will follow. How can developers manage that risk while continuing to scale sustainably?

Entrepreneur and real estate developer Ke Qin has built a systems-driven approach to luxury home development in a volatile market by beginning with small renovation projects. As demand surged, Ke scaled his operation by implementing processes and developing speculative homes that stood out by blending innovation, neighborhood fit, and design elements. He encourages other real estate entrepreneurs to expand their mindsets and skills through self-development and peer networks like EO. 

In this episode of The Decision, Ke Qin, Co-founder and President of Paros Group, joins Robert Hartline and Eric Jackson to discuss scaling a real estate business through mindset, systems, and self-awareness. Ke discusses how tariffs impact his pricing models, why identity work is critical for leaders, and how AI is reshaping architectural design.
