| Oct 27, 2026 | Open Real Estate got the brokers to agree. Now it has to decide who holds the keys | For two years, listings in this country have been slipping underground one company at a time. The largest brokerage in America has defended that model on national television, and has bragged to shareholders that more than 50% of all its new... |
| Oct 23, 2026 | Real estate coaching that builds authentic agent trust | As our industry pours resources into scripts, systems, and personal branding, it is worth asking whether all that polish is quietly working against us. On a recent coaching call, an agent’s success with door knocking led me to a conclusion ... |
| Oct 19, 2026 | Do listing sites create a real estate ‘resort fee’ problem? | Anyone who has checked out of a hotel in the last 10 years knows the feeling. The room was $200 a night. But your bill says $241. The extra line reads “resort fee,” and it covers a pool you never used and a gym you never found. Nobody lied ... |
| Oct 19, 2026 | A coaching framework for real estate agents when nothing is working | Every leader in this industry is managing at least one of them right now. A capable, experienced agent whose production has simply stopped. On a recent Power Agent coaching call, one of ours described it plainly. He averages two transaction... |
| Oct 15, 2026 | When a seller texts about real estate commission, use this 4 step plan to keep the deal moving | A homeowner sends the same text message to a handful of agents. Four words. “What is your commission?”
One agent writes back that commission is not something he discusses over text. The homeowner pushes. The agent holds his ground, politely... |
| Sep 22, 2026 | Real estate cold calling is screened, not dead | Every few years someone declares cold calling obsolete. It is not. On a recent POWER AGENT® coaching call, a Long Island member asked whether cold calling real estate For-Sale-By-Owners (FSBOs) still works and whether it is legally safe. Th... |
| Sep 21, 2026 | Never quote your real estate commission by text | A homeowner sends the same message to a handful of agents. Four words. “What is your commission?”
One agent writes back that commission is not something he discusses over text. The homeowner pushes. The agent holds his ground, politely and ... |
| Sep 14, 2026 | Regulators imply a ban without saying it, real estate agents should read the words | Regulatory communications shape agent behavior across the industry, and too often they shape it through fear rather than clarity. On a recent coaching call, a member shared a warning her state licensing department issued about showing-assis... |
| Sep 10, 2026 | Private listings change the buyer side of the listing pitch | The sellers signed the agreement in April. Private first, a quiet start inside one brokerage’s network, full market later if needed. The house sold. Everyone shook hands. Nobody had a bad experience.
Three weeks later those same two people ... |
| Sep 3, 2026 | The missing step in real estate marketing is the reply | You are not competing to be the best agent in your market. You are competing to be the only one who does what you do.
There was a man living inside a billboard above Sunset Boulevard.
Netflix put him up there to promote a new film. Thirty f... |
| Aug 26, 2026 | How will the tariff war with Canada impact real estate? | On Saturday, the tariffs stopped being a threat and turned into a number on an invoice. The United States put 50% tariffs on roughly $20B of Canadian goods after trade talks collapsed, and Canada answered that it would match them dollar for... |
| Aug 21, 2026 | The scarcity pitch for private listings leaves out the key condition | You have heard it at a listing table. You may have said a version of it yourself. “Let’s start it privately. Limited access creates urgency. When buyers cannot have something, they want it more.”
The instinct is not crazy. Scarcity does rai... |
| Aug 20, 2026 | Compass strong quarter does not settle the MLS antitrust debate | Read the Compass earnings release and you see a company firing on every cylinder. Listen to the earnings call and you hear a CEO on a mission to tear down the rules that govern listing data. The distance between those two things is exactly ... |
| Aug 17, 2026 | American Real Estate Association advocacy targets raise questions for agents outside coastal markets | Two and a half years in, most of the January American Real Estate Association (ARA) promises are still unkept, and the one advocacy win belonged to somebody else.
Three coaching members asked me the same question in one week. One is with Co... |
| Aug 17, 2026 | When a real estate brokerage grows fast, cash flow and controls still matter | Two documents, one company, one month apart. In June, Fathom Holdings announced a deal that it called transformational. In July, it told federal regulators that its financial controls had failed and that past numbers might be wrong. Both st... |
| Aug 13, 2026 | Private listings face House and Senate scrutiny but Washington can’t sell a home | The private listings fight now has both chambers of Congress. It still stops one door short of the room where your income is decided.
For four months, the fight over private listings has bounced from a Chicago courtroom to federal regulator... |
| Aug 12, 2026 | AI can help sellers list homes, agents still drive net proceeds | Every few weeks a new headline arrives, and it follows the same recipe. A home seller types a handful of prompts into an AI chatbot, lists their home without an agent and reportedly pockets a five-figure sum they would otherwise have paid i... |
| Aug 7, 2026 | The off-MLS debate moves to Washington, and agents need a clear script | There is a number every listing agent should be able to explain this week: 4.6%. It is the premium Compass says its private listings earn sellers. There is a second number that says the opposite. And there is now a third party, the United S... |
| Aug 6, 2026 | Stop saying ‘agent’ and ‘salesperson’ and explain the job like a profession | Every profession sorts itself into a family. Ask a biologist to classify an animal and they do not go by just appearance alone. They go by its underlying traits, the characteristics that reveal what it truly is and where it belongs. I would... |
| Aug 3, 2026 | Compass claims a $5,590 Zillow tax, but the maths not mathing | Compass put out research this week saying homes shown on Zillow sold for 1.3% less than homes Zillow had banned. Within two days, three different groups of economists went after it — on the size of the sample, on missing controls, on the fa... |
| Jul 31, 2026 | Who decides where listings show up, Zillow, Compass or the MLS? | The briefs are in. The witnesses are done. A federal judge in Chicago now holds the question the whole industry keeps asking: who controls where a listing gets seen? Here is the part no ruling will answer for you.
Zillow, Compass and Midwes... |
| Jul 28, 2026 | The Sitzer/Burnett data motion is a compliance warning | On July 23, plaintiffs in the Sitzer/Burnett and Gibson cases asked Judge Stephen Bough to enforce something this industry already agreed to. As HousingWire reported, they want the listing and commission data that MLSs promised to hand over... |
| Jul 27, 2026 | Realtor Associations don’t have a value problem. They have a value-communication problem. | When membership numbers soften, the instinct inside most Realtor associations is to assume the value has eroded. Leaders start asking what new benefit they can bolt on, what shiny program might justify the dues. It is the wrong diagnosis, a... |
| Jul 24, 2026 | Congress didn’t create the private listings problem. We did. | On July 22, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Administrative State, Regulatory Reform, and Antitrust sent letters to Compass and to Midwest Real Estate Data. Both letters ask for a briefing on private listing networks and on the data ... |
| Jul 24, 2026 | How to handle the top producer comparison from sellers | At some point in nearly every listing appointment, a seller raises the comparison: Why hire you rather than the top producer in the market? Most agents experience the question as a threat. It is more useful to read it as a signal that the s... |
| Jul 20, 2026 | Why your next open house should start with the neighbors | Let me ask you something. When was the last time you treated an open house like a one-day event instead of what it actually is: a long-term investment in the street it sits on?
Most agents do it backward, and I get it. You set up Sunday, ho... |
| Jul 14, 2026 | Is Kelley Blue Book another company coming for your commission? | By now you have seen the headlines.

Here comes another out... |
| Jul 8, 2026 | Real estate agents: Make your drive time work for you | Let me ask you something. How much time do you spend in your car each week?
If you’re like most real estate agents, the answer is a lot. Showings, appointments, closings, more appointments — this business keeps you moving. Here’s what I wan... |
| Jul 7, 2026 | Your real estate listing is stalled, start with an exposure audit | Let me say something that I think a lot of real estate professionals need to hear right now. When your listing is stalled and sits on the market, it is not automatically your fault.
I know the feeling. The home isn’t moving, the seller is g... |
| Jul 6, 2026 | The IDX debate: Is it time to do away with the Internet Data Exchange? | A question is starting to circulate among brokerage leaders and at industry tables: Is it time to do away with IDX? On the surface it sounds like a housekeeping matter, a debate about website feeds and display rules. It is not. The IDX ques... |
| Jul 1, 2026 | Is NAR damaging its trust with the membership? | A lawsuit about private listings and NAR’s clear cooperation policy just turned into a fight about harassment victims’ privacy.

| Jun 29, 2026 | The best real estate offer is not always the highest price, here’s how to spot risk | The agent who stands out in any market is the one who can read the risk inside an offer, not just the price on top of it. That is a skill, and it is one of the most underrated tools you carry as a real estate professional.
Here is the issue... |
| Jun 26, 2026 | How to defend commission using value not tools | A POWER AGENT® in our coaching call was about to lose a listing to a discount brokerage. The seller looked her in the eye and said, they do everything you do, for less money. This is one of the most common pressures we face as real estate p... |
| Jun 22, 2026 | What falling prices mean for your real estate business | The headlines that landed this month read like a siren. Sharpest price drop in nine years.

| Jun 17, 2026 | When a bankrupt retailer buys a brokerage: What the Bed Bath & Beyond and Fathom deal signals | The real estate industry just got a headline that reads like a misprint. Bed Bath & Beyond is buying a brokerage. The same Bed Bath & Beyond that filed for bankruptcy and closed every store it owned a few years ago. The brand name w... |
| Jun 17, 2026 | David just beat Goliath for an NBA Title. Here’s the lesson for real estate agents facing giants. | A 6-foot-2 guard who was nearly passed over in the draft just outdueled the most physically dominant player in basketball. Every agent competing against a bigger, better-funded rival should pay attention.
This past Saturday night, the New Y... |
| Jun 15, 2026 | MLSs should negotiate data licensing together under an alliance | The open marketplace is the most valuable asset our industry owns, and at the moment, no single organization is responsible for protecting it.
That should sit uncomfortably with every broker-owner and association leader. We have a National ... |
| May 13, 2026 | Winning listings in today’s market requires a different conversation | Let me paint a picture you’ve probably lived a hundred times. You walk into a seller’s home with a leather portfolio, a tablet loaded with slides, and a 45-minute presentation that covers your bio, awards, marketing plan, company’s history ... |

| Jan 19, 2026 | Why the next cycle will belong to real estate agents who have systems, not excuses | The housing market continues to test patience: inventory remains constrained in many regions, buyer and seller activity is starting to normalize and interest rates still shape consumer hesitation (but that may be changing!)

| Nov 4, 2025 | Why these 10 overlooked real estate niches are goldmines | Most real estate agents are chasing the same clients—first-time buyers, investors, luxury listings, and others.

| Darryl Davis: Why your pricing talk is not landing with real estate sellers anymore | Here’s a truth that’s going to sting a little: if you’re still walking into listing appointments armed with the same pricing presentation you used in 2021 (or earlier!), you’re bringing a butter knife to a sword fight.
