Description

The real estate market is changing fast, and hosts Tristan Ahumada, Saul Klein, and John Reilly are pulling back the curtain on what’s really happening.
 
From the surprise rise in buyer agent commissions to billion-dollar lawsuits against NAR, Sitzer Burnett, and Gibson, this episode dives into the biggest legal and compliance battles shaping real estate today. The trio unpacks DOJ vs NAR, antitrust risks, MLS competition, Zillow vs Compass vs CoStar, copyright fights, and what it all means for brokers, agents, and homebuyers. They even tackle the possibility of a national housing emergency and how it could reshape affordability, zoning, and government regulation.
 
If you’re a real estate agent, broker, or investor who wants to stay ahead of industry shifts, this is the conversation you need to hear. Share your take in the comments. Where do you think the housing market is headed next?
