RE Technology's Top 10 Articles of 2020

Over the past 10 days, we've been counting down our top 10 articles of the year. These articles are an exclusive breed--at RE Technology, we publish over 1,000 articles each year. So which types of articles were among the 1 percent that made it into our top 10?

This year's list, unsurprisingly, was dominated by COVID-19 related articles. In fact, our number one article—by a longshot—was a post announcing that real estate was now considered an essential service. The flood of traffic we got from that article underlines the sense of relief that real estate professionals felt when they were able to keep working.

2020 wasn't all coronavirus doom and gloom, however. Our second most-read article was a lighthearted look at real estate memes. Gratitude also featured largely, with articles on thank you notes (#4) and closing gifts (#8) rounding out our top 10.
