After what was supposed to be a “summer break” that somehow lasted through fall, Tristan Ahumada, Saul Klein, and John Reilly crawl out of the real estate rubble to find that the industry didn’t exactly calm down while they were gone.
Between the Compass–Anywhere merger, the Zillow vs. Compass lawsuit, MLS drama, and enough real estate litigation to fill a Netflix docuseries, this episode has all the chaos you missed. Oh, and AI decided to join the party too, because why not?
Featuring:
Tristan Ahumada — CEO of Lab Coat Agents and A Brilliant Tribe, still trying to keep real estate logical.
Saul Klein — Real Estate Internet Evangelist and consultant, basically the Gandalf of the MLS.
John Reilly — Real Estate Educator, Attorney, and self-proclaimed “recovering lawyer.”
They’re breaking down the latest real estate lawsuits, Compass and Anywhere acquisition rumors, Zillow’s sudden moral awakening, and how AI tools like ChatGPT might accidentally become the new MLS.
If you’ve ever thought, “How messy can this industry get?” the answer is “more.”

In this episode, Tristan Ahumada, Saul Klein, and John Reilly talk through real estate updates that matter right now. They start with how RESPA rules are being looked at more closely, especially with Redfin’s W-2 setup and their connection with Rocket Mortgage. The way agents get paid and how referrals work could be affected, and the team walks through what’s happening and what to pay attention to.
They also bring up what’s going on with Open MLS policies. In places like California, Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, agents can access the MLS without being Realtors. That may open the door for more legal questions, especially around antitrust.
Toward the end, the group talks about the legal fight between Compass and Zillow, why listing visibility matters, and how platforms are competing for more control over the way people find homes. They also touch on how AI is slowly showing up in day-to-day business.
