I recently listened to Greg Robertson’s Listing Bits podcast, the episode in which he discussed LEAP with Sam DeBord and Michael Wurzer.

I thought I’d post this up here as well. I recorded a brief(ish) podcast/video about my 2018 Future of Brokerage white paper.

We cover BPP, Homesnap, CoStar’s acquisition, Fair Display Guidelines, the fate of the MLS, the residential real estate industry, and have a fun discussion all around.

In this episode, the first of 2021 and the first in quite some time, I speak to Sean Black, the Co-Founder & CEO of Knock. I’ve been talking and writing about Knock and its unique take on iBuyer for years now. Now, Sean probably would dispute the label “iBuyer” but it’s because of the corruption … Read more
