ST. LOUIS – In August, 900 likely Missouri voters were asked about issues facing the Missouri LGBTQ community as a part of the 2023 SLU/YouGov Poll. At least 63% of voters think that transgender children shouldn't be able to get medical care like hormone therapy, drugs that stop puberty, or surgery that changes their gender.Governor Parson signed the "Missouri Save Adolescents from Experiment (SAFE) Act" in June.

The e-States X Factor: Matthew Schneider’s Vision for Transforming Commercial Real Estate

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 21:18:43 GMT

Matthew Schneider of e-States commercial real estate solutions wants to talk about the X Factor.“When you look at other companies in the commercial real estate space—and there’s too many making this mistake—you see a lack of engagement in the lifecycle of a property,” said Matthew, the e-States CEO. “I always use the analogy that we’re connecting the dots. And that’s our magic, as opposed to being just another incomplete, peripheral software product. There are niche solutions out there, but that isolation causes inefficiency and increases human error. It doesn’t allow you to utilize information, because everything has to be contextualized.“And so what we realized is that we’re able to provide multiple tools in the same place, consolidating information and allowing it to properly integrate, whether it’s fundraising, property management, or investor relations. We’re putting that all in the same platform. That’s a major strength for our propert...
