Leigh Brown, broker/owner of One Community Real Estate, presented the Residential Real Estate Council webinar "Before the Bulldozers: The Questions Every Agent Should Be Asking About Data Centers," a virtual session on July 7, 2026.
Hosted by the Residential Real Estate Council, this virtual session tackled a topic showing up in more markets by the month: data center development and what it means for the neighborhoods around it. Leigh walked REALTORS® through how these projects move through local planning and zoning, the impacts communities are reporting, and the early warning signs of major development. Drawing on real-world research and field experience, she framed the practical questions residents and local officials are already asking, and where an agent can step in as a trusted resource on property rights and neighborhood change rather than a bystander to it.
