Damian Eales, CEO of Realtor.com, joins James and Keith for a no-punches-pulled conversation on the future of the MLS, the dangers of private listings, and why the real estate industry needs to stop the infighting and start serving the consumer.
In this episode, Damian unpacks:
-
The housing affordability crisis and why we're running out of first-time buyers
-
How the new Realtor.com+ platform is reshaping agent-client collaboration
-
Why private listing networks could spark the next wave of fair housing lawsuits
-
The real reason some portals are misleading consumers and investors
-
Why it's time to double down on transparency, cooperation, and consumer trust
This is one of the most candid conversations about where the industry is headed, and why the stakes have never been higher.
