**This podcast was recorded the Friday BEFORE the announcement from NAR on CCP** In this episode of Industry Relations, Rob and Greg dissect the latest drama surrounding NAR's Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP), the DOJ's stance on MLS rules, and the future of PropTech in a shifting real estate landscape. They analyze how recent DOJ statements are being interpreted (or misinterpreted), debate whether the MLS still holds power over large brokerages, and discuss the potential consequences of a fragmented listing system. Key Takeaways • DOJ's Footnote Controversy: Did the DOJ “call out” misleading claims about CCP, or is the industry reading too much into a footnote? • The Power Struggle Over MLS Data: Rob argues large brokerages are taking control over listing distribution, while Greg questions whether MLSs still provide enough value to keep them in check. • The PropTech Dilemma: What happens to tools like CMAs, reverse prospecting, and analytics when listings become fragmented across private networks? • Compass's Playbook: Is Compass leading the charge toward a new listing system, or just using exclusive listings as a leverage play? • Enforcement vs. Policy: Greg insists MLS rules work because agents police each other, while Rob questions whether large firms can simply ignore the rules with no real consequences.

Startups in multifamily, listen up! Landing a “big fish” sounds great, but is it really the best strategy?Inspired by Matt Knight's Vertical newsletter, today's insight is about targeting the Goldilocks Zone—companies that are big enough to have a tech budget but small enough to say yes or no quickly.Too often, startups waste time, money, and energy chasing massive property management firms, only to get lost in bureaucracy or internal tech teams that don't need outside solutions. Instead, go after the clients that can move fast and give you clear, actionable feedback.Where's your focus? Chasing whales or reeling in smart wins?

" Now, the beauty about the real estate industry, if you look outside and you look at the commercial buildings, you have a lot of data generated on a daily basis. The challenge is, what do you do with this data? How do you mine this data in a smart way to give you better investment decisions going forward [or] better decisions on how you run the building? Where are the opportunities to reduce your expenses? On the climate side, how do you reduce your operational carbon? How do you make those buildings better? I think that here, Gen AI, can help big time, because any solution that will mine this data smartly and will create a result, an output, that end users and owners can use to their advantage.” - Ariel Shtarkman Fresh out of the studio, Ariel Shtarkman, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Undivided Ventures, joins us to share the mission and vision of Undivided Ventures and how the fund is driving innovation at the intersection of sustainability, PropTech, and construction technology.

Did you know that most people are just "winging it"? That includes the folks you think have it all figured out. Today, let's reframe your view of confidence and courage. In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, we're unpacking a powerful yet simple truth about confidence: we tend to underestimate ourselves while overestimating others. That tendency creates an unnecessary barrier between you and your potential. Here's the deal—most people aren't operating from some endless well of expertise or experience. They're responding to life's challenges and opportunities the same way you do: by using what's innate in them or reacting to what's in front of them. Your reservoir of skills, ideas, and resourcefulness is likely deeper than you think, and it's time to stop undervaluing it. The key is to step into moments of opportunity with courage. Whether you're solving a business challenge or enriching a personal relationship, your voice and ideas matter. When you hold back, you cheat yourself—and others—of the impact your unique perspective could bring. You are capable. You are enough. The only thing left to do is trust yourself and speak up.
