The battle over private listings just escalated again. On Episode 362 of This Week in Real Estate, we're breaking down the latest twist in the Zillow vs. MRED/Compass fight after a judge ordered Chicago listings restored to Zillow. We'll also look at how the fight has spilled onto social media, billboards, and the broader debate over who really benefits from private listings. Then we shift to the market: mortgage refinance demand drops as rates climb, cash buyers pull back, affordability improves slightly for the seventh straight month, luxury home prices keep rising, rental concessions surge, and pending sales start to wobble again. We'll also talk about Wells Fargo's new mortgage incentives for 3D-printed homes, contract cancellations stabilizing, and Realtor.com's latest international demand report showing Miami still dominating foreign buyer interest while Los Angeles fades. This week's big question: is the housing market stabilizing, splitting, or just getting weirder?    

The Zillow vs. MRED fight just went public and agents are stuck in the middle. In this episode, James and Keith sit down with top Chicago broker Tommy Choi, who also serves on the board of MRED, to unpack what's really happening behind the headlines. From private listing networks and Zillow's policy changes to agent branding, MLS consolidation, and the future of listing access, this conversation goes far deeper than industry drama. Tommy also shares why most agents are building logos instead of brands and why that mindset could hurt them long term.

The private listing war is getting hotter, and this week Zillow, Compass, MRED, Bright MLS, Redfin, and "Coming Soon" listings are all in the middle of it. In Episode 361 of This Week in Real Estate, we're breaking down the escalating battle over private listings, portal access, MLS control, and who really gets to decide where homes show up online. Zillow is fighting to keep Chicago listings on its platform, Compass is gaining major MLS ground, Redfin is changing how some pre-marketed listings appear, and new survey data shows sellers may be more interested in "Coming Soon" strategies than the industry wants to admit. We'll also talk about Zillow's new dual-agency findings, a fake Trump post that somehow became real estate discourse, and what all of this means for agents, consumers, MLSs, and the future of listing exposure. Plus, we're looking at the housing market side of the week: pending sales jumping to their highest level since 2022, home prices inching higher, price drops becoming slightly less common, homeowners feeling the pressure of ownership, and a major housing bill agreement that could give investors a win. Big questions this week: Are private listings becoming a consumer choice or an industry power play? Is Zillow defending transparency, defending traffic, or both? Are MLSs losing control of the listing ecosystem? And is the housing market finally stabilizing, or just shifting into a new kind of weird?

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg react to Cotality's launch of BLX, a new broker-focused listing input platform that immediately sparks debate over whether it's a defensive move against portals or "Project Upstream" all over again. They dig into broker control, MLS compliance, native Matrix integration, and whether MLSs were blindsided by the launch. They also discuss Zillow filing suit against MRED and Compass over private listings, leading into a larger conversation about industry framing, consumer transparency, and whether Zillow has become an unofficial regulator of real estate. Key Takeaways Cotality launched BLX, a broker listing input and distribution platform aimed at streamlining listing management across MLSs and portals. Rob questions whether BLX effectively bypasses MLS authority and compares it directly to Project Upstream. Greg argues the product is more about preserving MLS relevance as brokers increasingly use portal-based listing input systems. Debate over whether MLSs were informed ahead of the BLX launch and how major Matrix customers may react. Discussion around broker control vs. MLS compliance rules, especially regarding listing distribution and branding. Zillow sued MRED and Compass over private listings and alleged restriction of competition.

Episode 360: Zillow Sues Compass, Private Listings Explode & the Housing Market Gets Weird The private listing war just went nuclear. On today's episode of This Week in Real Estate, we're breaking down Zillow's new federal lawsuit against MRED and Compass, a case that could reshape the future of MLS data, private listing networks, portal power, brokerage strategy, and consumer access to housing inventory. Zillow claims MRED and Compass are working together to restrict listing data access and force Zillow to promote private listings, while the broader industry is already locked in a battle over who controls the future of home search. And Zillow isn't the only player making moves. We'll also dig into the growing "brokerage boardroom drama" across the industry, including the launch of Cotality's Broker Listing Exchange with Keller Williams and HomeServices of America on board. The new BLX platform gives brokerages a centralized way to manage listing data, pre-market activity, and distribution across MLSs, portals, and partners. Then we're looking at another major brokerage shakeup: eXp World Holdings acquiring NextHome and pushing toward a new multi-platform model. Add in Real Brokerage, Compass, Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Rocket, RE/MAX, Anywhere, Keller Williams, and HomeServices, and the pattern is clear: the biggest names in real estate are racing to control platforms, listings, data, agents, and consumer attention. We'll also break down what the latest Q1 earnings from Real, Compass, Zillow, and Realtor.com reveal about where the real estate industry is heading. Real Brokerage reported major year-over-year growth before announcing its RE/MAX acquisition, Compass posted strong results following the Anywhere deal, Zillow saw big growth in mortgages and rentals, and Realtor.com has now posted six straight quarters of revenue growth in a sluggish housing market. Then we shift to the housing market itself, where the data is giving mixed signals. Pending home sales hit their highest level in nearly four years, buyer demand is showing signs of life, and home prices posted their biggest increase in over a year. But higher mortgage rates are still weighing on buyers, affordability remains brutal, and the buyer advantage that defined much of the market may already be starting to shrink. And finally, we'll talk about one of the strangest future housing stories of the week: tiny AI data centers potentially coming into American homes. Is this the next weird intersection of real estate, energy, AI infrastructure, and household income? Or just another tech idea looking for a place to land? Today's show is packed with real estate lawsuits, private listings, MLS drama, brokerage consolidation, platform wars, mortgage rates, home prices, buyer demand, housing affordability, and the future of how homes are bought and sold. No fluff. No fear-mongering. Just real talk about what's happening in real estate right now. Topics we're covering: Zillow sues MRED and Compass over private listings The fight over MLS data, PLNs, and listing access Cotality launches Broker Listing Exchange with KW and HomeServices eXp acquires NextHome Real, Compass, Zillow, and Realtor.com earnings Brokerage consolidation and platform wars Pending home sales hit a multi-year high Buyer leverage starts to shrink Home prices rise again Mortgage rates keep buyers under pressure Tiny AI data centers inside homes?

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Greg previews his ICE keynote, "What If We're Wrong?", challenging core MLS assumptions around data ownership, cooperation, and control. The discussion quickly shifts to MRED's push to limit public data visibility, sparking a broader debate on transparency, Zillow's leverage, and whether MLSs still hold real power. Rob argues the industry is already moving past NAR's authority, while both highlight growing instability across MLSs, vendors, and business models. The episode ends on a bigger theme: rapid change, AI, and the need for organizations to adapt fast—or fall behind. Key Takeaways - MLS assumptions around data and control are being tested   - MRED vs. Zillow signals a larger industry power struggle   - NAR is shifting toward an advisory role, not enforcement   - Larger MLSs are acting independently; smaller ones may still rely on NAR   - Vendors and MLSs face increasing uncertainty and decision paralysis   - AI is accelerating disruption across the industry   - Success now depends on speed, flexibility, and willingness to adapt Connect with Rob and Greg Rob's Website  Greg's Website    Watch us on YouTube   Our Sponsors: Cotality  Notorious VIP The Giant Steps Job Board    Production and Editing Services by Sunbound Studios  

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg break down the major industry-shaking news of the week: Real Brokerage acquiring RE/MAX, and what that means for brokerage consolidation, valuation logic, and the future competitive landscape. They then dive into the far bigger strategic battle unfolding between Compass, MLSs like MRED, and portals like Zillow. The discussion centers on private listings, MLS policy fragmentation, and whether the industry is heading toward a full-scale "team vs team" conflict over control of listing data. The episode explores how MLS consolidation, broker strategy, and consumer expectations are colliding—and whether this moment forces the industry into a decisive power struggle. Key Takeaways Real Brokerage acquires RE/MAX A surprising buyer shakes up expectations around consolidation. The valuation gap raises questions about deal structure and long-term strategy. Consolidation is accelerating The deal reinforces a broader trend: bundling, scale, and platform expansion are becoming central to survival. Compass vs Zillow dynamic is escalating The industry is increasingly splitting into competing camps, with MLSs, brokerages, and platforms aligning strategically. MRED move reframes MLS power Opening the door for national listing distribution and cross-MLS participation could shift how MLS boundaries function. Agent behavior is the wild card Whether agents actually join additional MLSs (even if subsidized) will determine how impactful these strategies become. Data control = power The core conflict is about who controls listing visibility—MLSs, brokerages, or portals—and how that affects consumers. Potential "war" scenario If tensions escalate, outcomes could include rule changes, platform retaliation, or a forced industry reset that determines who ultimately sets the rules.

Real Brokerage is buying RE/MAX in an $880 million deal, and the real estate industry may never look quite the same. This week on This Week in Real Estate, we're breaking down one of the biggest brokerage stories in years: Real Brokerage's planned acquisition of RE/MAX. Is this a brilliant consolidation play? A tech-forward brokerage swallowing one of the most recognizable legacy brands in real estate? Or a sign that scale is becoming the only way to survive the next chapter of the housing market? Real CEO Tamir Poleg called the RE/MAX acquisition "the perfect match," but the industry reaction has been anything but quiet. Agents, brokers, franchise owners, and industry veterans are already debating what this means for agent splits, franchise models, revenue share, tech platforms, global brokerage scale, and the future of traditional real estate brands. And that is just where today's show starts. We're also digging into the private listing fight that refuses to go away. Compass is back in the spotlight as questions swirl around private exclusives, while MRED expands its Private Listing Network nationwide with Compass as the first major brokerage to join. The industry keeps saying it wants transparency, but more and more companies are building systems around controlled access, private inventory, and strategic exposure. Then we shift into the housing market, where the spring season is sending some seriously mixed signals. Home price growth appears to be stalling nationally, more sellers are putting homes on the market, mortgage rates are rising again, the Fed is expected to hold rates steady, and buyers are somehow still trickling back into the market. So what is really happening? Are we watching a healthier spring market take shape, or are buyers and sellers just trying to adjust to a high-rate, high-cost, low-affordability environment? We'll also cover HUD's rollback of fair housing guidance around crime stats and school ratings, and why agents need to understand the difference between providing information and creating risk. Today we're talking about:

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob Hahn and Greg Robertson dig into the escalating conflict between Zillow and MRED over private listing networks (PLNs), IDX rules, and Zillow's Listing Access Standards (ZLAS). What starts as a dispute over listing visibility quickly becomes a deeper conversation about power: who ultimately controls listing data—the MLS or the portal? The episode explores MRED's emails to brokers, Zillow's outreach for direct feeds, potential January disruptions, and why this fight could set a precedent for MLS–portal relationships nationwide.  Key Takeaways Zillow and MRED are on a collision course over whether Zillow can selectively exclude PLN listings while still receiving IDX feeds.  MRED argues selective exclusion violates its IDX rules; Zillow argues it owes transparency to sellers and consistency to its standards.  Emails suggest Zillow may pursue direct broker feeds, potentially bypassing the MLS if access is cut off.  The dispute is less about private listings themselves and more about control—"who runs Barter Town."  Outcomes range from MLS dominance, to Zillow dominance, to a hard-to-define compromise—with major implications for brokers, sellers, and other MLSs.

Atari's Star Wars the Arcade Game was released 40 years ago and quickly became one of the most popular arcade games of all time. With groundbreaking innovations and real Star Wars sounds, it's still fun to play. Jay and Shua try their best to use the Force on Enjoy Stuff!   Join us in the arcade as we look back on the iconic stand-up (and sit-down) game Star Wars the Arcade Game.   News Get ready for the release of a new Atari 2600 that will play your old games too! Star Wars - Dark Forces is getting a remastered release for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch It's time for your Halloween and fall cereals and merchandise including It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown cereal, Rice Krispies, and more The trailer for Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon has gotten some people excited, but is it a little too derivative?   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying On a recent vacation trip, Jay checked out a legendary Candy store in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania called Mr Ed's Elephant Museum & Candy Emporium. It's a fun store with a nice nostalgic feeling. Plus, Mr. Ed's is to elephants what Rancho Obi-Wan is to Star Wars. A gigantic collection of crazy pachyderms. Shua enjoyed the pride he felt when dropped off his youngest to her new college in Rhode Island. With some stops in Boston and other scenic places along the way, his emotions were bubbling over, so let's keep him distracted. Enjoy Video Games!  Riding the hype of the newly released Return of the Jedi, Atari released a new game that used a variety of techniques to display the graphics. Using the mathematical based vector graphic method, they sacrificed the solid shapes of a raster game, with the sharper, faster electron beam method.    It included 3 levels that would get increasingly difficult. A Tie Fighter battle, flying along the surface shooting towers, and a run down the Death Star trench challenged the player and put you right in the center of the movie action. A stand-up and a sit-down “cockpit” version were available, making fans even more excited to feel like they were a part of the story.    Plus, it was the first game to use digitized voices and music (and they were straight from the movie!)

Dr. Benedict grew up in Charlotte as a son of a WWII vet and a nurse, learning hard work and the value of education, leading him to meet his eventual lifeling mentor, Mike McNichlos. Dr. Benedict spent the next three decades in Real Estate Development throughout the south but calling Greenville, SC home. In 2006, he made the transition to becoming a Professor and eventually becoming the Director of the Clemson Masters in Real Estate and Development Program, where he has enriched countless lives with his wisdom. Dr. Benedict is a true philomath and a good man that chose a path less traveled in educating.

When the Masters in Real Estate Development (MRED) program launched at ASU in 2006, few people could foresee the role it would play in development projects across Arizona.  In the 16 years since, its influence is seen in the graduates, relationships, and projects that have been created because of it (as well as other copycat programs that imitate its success). In this episode we learn the origins behind the MRED and how it is shaping developments across Arizona.

Episode 3. Rebecca Jensen is the President and CEO of MRED. Being able to "fail fast" and focus on the Individual are just a few of the ways Rebecca stands out as a leading women.

Introduction

Episode Summary: Our guest took a non-traditional route to reach her success today and was able to work her way up to be the CEO of MRED in Chicago, IL. Joining us is Rebecca Jensen, the President, and CEO of Midwest Real Estate Data, or MRED, an MLS company providing services to the Chicagoland area. Rebecca truly is making "industry magic" happen in the real estate world.  In this episode, join Rebecca and me to hear how Rebecca's choices led her to be the leader of one of the largest MLS companies in the country that provides services to over 45,000 brokers and appraisers. We also discuss the numerous ways in which Rebecca offers her expertise to real estate organizations across the country!  Top Takeaways:  Rebecca Jensen's Advice for New Agents "Understand why you are now in the business. There are part-time agents that think that this could be a supplemental part of their income, and then there are people who think that… might see real estate as an easy way to change a career. It's not as easy as HGTV or some of the programs might have you think." "If you're going into the real estate industry as an agent because you've lost your job, and this is going to be your new job. Make sure that you treat it like a job. Don't expect ten hours a week of work to give you the forty-hour a week paycheck. It's not how it works. You need to put in a ton of work, especially in the beginning for new agents. Don't think it's just some easy career path; it might look like that on the outside, but it takes a lot of time, effort, and discipline to create an actual business for yourself."  "I want to stay at the top of my game. My goal is to serve brokerages. I do a lot, as much as I can, to not just reach out and let people know what is happening but also to hear what the pain points are, what are the problems that need to be solved. I am motivated by the big, hairy, audacious goals." – Rebecca Jensen [24:30] "I am a huge advocate of having a very disciplined planning process that takes not just what's happening in the industry, but you have got to have at least a three to five ear outlook on where things are going to go. That's what I did with RESO. I knew data standards weren't just going to pop out in two months. Now, look at where RESO was… and now it's a sold-out conference held globally with people all over the world being engaged." – Rebecca Jensen [29:16]  Episode Highlights: [00:22] Intro [00:48] Meet Rebecca Jensen – MLS Aficionado  [02:05] Born and raised in Salt Lake City   [05:32] Taking the Alternate Path in High School to Reach Success  [07:13] Working on Up – Help Desk to CEO  [13:40] Rebecca Jensen's Projects and Developments at MRED  [16:59] Working Alongside a Board of Directors  [18:47] The Transition from "Small" Lake City to Chicagoland [24:24] The Importance of Volunteering in the Real Estate Space  [26:54] MRED-Shaped Strategic Planning for Brokerage Clients  [30:05] The Impact of 2020 on MRED  [33:41] Rebecca's Advice for New Agents  [35:29] Connect with Rebecca  [35:45] Closing Thoughts  [36:14] Outro  Episode Notes:  Today, Joining us is Rebecca Jensen, President, and CEO of Midwest Real Estate Data, or MRED, an MLS company providing services to the Chicagoland area's brokers and appraisers. Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, Rebecca spent her childhood outdoors enjoying the terrain that Utah offers.  Rebecca Jensen's dreams in high school were on the non-traditional side as she decided to drop out of high school at the age of sixteen as she believed she could go to college and start her career path now. Rebecca never received her high school diploma or obtained a GED. Instead, she enrolled at her local community college and began taking college courses at sixteen years old. Instead of taking the traditional path, Rebecca described that she looked

With the popularity of voice assistants on the rise, it’s safe to say offerings like Bixby, Alexa and Google Assistant aren’t going anywhere, so we should be taking advantage of them. How can real estate professionals make use of voice technologies in their businesses? Should we be feeling threatened, or can agents work alongside voice technology? On this episode, CEO and co-founder of Voiceter Pro, Miguel Berger, shares how to make the most of voice assistants.  We need to embrace technology instead of trying to fight it, and use it intelligently. -Miguel Berger Takeaways + Tactics  Agents can use voice assistants in every area of their businesses, from reminding us about listings and updating us on new market trends, to helping us during open houses.  Stop thinking that new technology is a way for us to lose business; start seeing it as an advancement that can help us reach more clients.  As agents, it’s important to adapt to voice assistant offerings, not only to make our lives easier, but to stay relevant with consumers. At the start of this episode, we discussed how voice assistants can be used for our MLS. We shared that voice assistants are not meant to replace agents, but to help make their tasks easier and their organizations run more smoothly.  We also shared insights on: The language barriers faced by voice technologies Why agents need to know what they want before using new technology That agents should be educated more about voice assistants before implementing them Resources To see how MRED (Midwest Real Estate Data), which services around 45,000 real estate agents, brokers, and appraisers is using "Voice Assistant" click HERE.

The peptidoglycan cell wall (CW) and the actin-like MreB cytoskeleton are the majordeterminants of cell morphology in non-spherical bacteria. Bacillus subtilis is a rod-shaped Grampositive bacterium that has three MreB isoforms: MreB, Mbl (MreB–like) and MreBH (MreBHomologue). Over the last decade, all three proteins were reported to localize in dynamic filamentous helical structures running the length of the cells underneath the membrane. This helical pattern led to a model where the extended MreB structures act as scaffolds to position CW-synthesizing machineries along sidewalls. However, the dynamic relationship between the MreB cytoskeleton and CW elongation complexes remained to be elucidated. Here we describe the characterization of the dynamics of the three MreB isoforms, CW synthesis and elongation complexes in live Bacillus subtilis cells at high spatial and temporal resolution. Using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) we found that MreB, Mbl and MreBH actually do not assemble into an extended helical structure but instead into discrete patches that move processively along peripheral tracks perpendicular to the long axis of the cell. We found similar patch localization and dynamics for several morphogenetic factors and CW-synthesizing enzymes including MreD, MreC, RodA, PbpH and PBP2a. Furthermore, using fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), we showed that treadmilling of MreB filaments does not drive patch motility, as expected from the structural homology to actin. Blocking CW synthesis with antibiotics that target different steps of the peptidoglycan biosynthetic pathway stopped MreB patches motion, suggesting that CW synthesis is the driving force of patch motility. On the basis of these findings, we proposed a new model for MreB fuction in which MreB polymers restrict and orient patch motility to ensure controlled lateral CW expansion, thereby maintaining cell shape. To further investigate the molecular mechanism underlying MreB action, we next performed a site-directed mutagenesis analysis. Alanine substitutions of three charged amino 2 acids of MreB generated a B. subtilis strain with cell shape and growth defects. TIRFM analysis revealed that the mutated MreB protein displayed wild-type localization and dynamics, suggesting that it is still associated to the CW elongation machinery but might be defective in an interaction important for MreB morphogenetic function. Thus, this mutant appears as as a good candidate to start characterizing the interactions between the three MreB isoforms and components involved in CW elongation. It might also help to understand the function of components of theCWsynthetic complexes, and how they are coordinated to achieve efficient CW synthesis. Finally, to investigate how the integrity of the CW is maintained, we studied the localization and dynamics of the LiaIH-system, which i s t he t arget o f L iaRS, a t wo-component system involved in cell envelope stress response. We found that under stress conditions, when liaI and LiaH genes are expressed, the proteins form static complexes that coat the cell membrane. LiaI is required for the even distribution of the LiaH in the membrane. Taken together, these data suggest that LiaIH complexes may protect the cell from CW damage. Taken together, the findings described in this thesis provide valuable insights into the understanding of CW synthesis in B. subtilis, which may open new perspectives for the design of novel antimicrobial agents.
