Welcome to Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio. I’m Cleve Gaddis—here to make real estate clear, simple, and worry-free.

In this episode we’re delving into a major legal shake-up in the real-estate industry: the ongoing lawsuits involving Zillow. We’ll focus on what you should know as a buyer, seller or agent in Metro Atlanta, including how these cases may affect listings, competition, and your home transaction.

How the government shutdown has paused some regulatory actions and what delays mean for the industry (note: this episode will include discussion on that pause)
