    Deep Dive: Building the Brokerage of the Future

    If I were to start a real estate brokerage today, what would it look like? In this long-form conversation, I sit down with Austin broker-owner Eric Bramlett to answer that question. We cover: 1. What’s broken in brokerage today -- from “masses of asses” recruiting and misaligned incentives to the flood of part-time agents and industry noise. 2. What’s actually working -- the common threads between the brokerages and agents thriving, including eXp’s recruiting flywheel, Compass’s communications machine, various new business models, and the overlooked importance of emotional value and culture. 3. How we’d build it from scratch -- a focused brokerage designed for the top 20%: lean, selective, efficient, culture-rich, and boringly effective. The themes that emerge again and again: focus, clarity, culture, recruitment, and communication. If you want to understand where brokerage is heading -- and what it really takes to compete where you can win -- this is for you!

    Deep Dive: The Redfin Post-Mortem

    Let’s try something new. I’m joined by Carey Armstrong for a deep dive on Redfin — the business, the model, and the legacy. With Redfin’s acquisition by Rocket, one chapter closes and another begins, so let’s see what we can learn. Over an hour and forty minutes, we unpack Redfin’s history, do a deep dive into the business model(s), discuss key challenges and structural issues, and wrap it all up with some timeless lessons learned. Among other things, we talk about: The vision behind the employee-agent modelWhy Redfin never really scaled profitablyThe consumer site everyone loved — but didn’t monetizeBig bets on rentals and mortgage that didn’t pay offAnd what happens when you try to do everything at onceThis is the first long-form podcast I've done. Let me know what you think!

    Lukas Rose, CEO of Germany’s ProperBird, and I discuss the exclusive inventory power dynamics across Europe, how it encourages competition, the U.S. being the exception and not the rule, how to monetize home seekers, why tech adoption is so slow, killing new ideas, and why an agent’s top lead sources are his dog, his kids, and firefighters. Here's the research I mention: Scout24: Growing a New Consumer Revenue Stream

    Rory Golod, president of Growth and Communications at Compass, and I discuss his 10 year journey at Compass, focus as a luxury, building boring products, being a lightening rod in the industry, companies as confusion machines, the inventory strategy and its momentum, outworking your competitors, a 2019 fortune cookie, and the lack of brokerage innovation.
