Why Liquidity Should Boost Home Transactions

Kaz Nejatian is the CEO of Opendoor. In this conversation, we discuss the housing market, interest rates, and how Kaz is thinking about expanding access to homeownership. We also go inside Opendoor, including how AI is reshaping the home-buying and mortgage process, his approach to building companies, and why transparency and accountability to retail shareholders matter.
