The settlement between NWMLS and Compass suggests a direction of travel for the industry moving forward.

Is the problem with the industry that there are simply too many agents?

Mike Wurzer, CEO of FBS, was good enough to write up a summary and highlights of our debate in Ohio at the Central Ohio Real Estate and Development Summit hosted by Columbus REALTORS.

This is a public post, because it is me simply musing on some developments and ideas around AI.

Maybe it's time to reconsider fiduciary duty as the default for real estate agents...

I just got back from Inman San Diego.

In which I propose a new way to define "Participant" for the sake of the entire industry.

Over on Inman yesterday, I saw a post that brought me up by name.

Happy Friday.

Some new guidance from NAR shows they have their hearts in the right place, but... hoo boy...

Turns out, there is something NAR can do to maybe get the MLS back: rein in the state associations.

It'll all get better in time, but you can't heal if you can't let go....

[Note: I have already disclosed that I have a business relationship with Compass.
