This time, we interviewed Giulio Azzolini (head of MLS/CRM technology at FRIMM and CEO of Listing+) about how Listing+ evolved from Italy’s early adoption of the American MLS concept into an all-in-one MLS, CRM, and growing AI platform used by nearly 3,000 agents and facilitating about €80M in annual commission exchange.

Giulio explains what CRM means for Italian agents, why MLS adoption is challenged by culture, regulation, and the mediator model (agents paid by both buyer and seller), and why exclusivity and standardization matter for trust and client clarity.

He details Listing+’s integration with GDX using RESO standards, node sovereignty, international exposure of shared listings, and the goal of making cross-border collaboration a daily workflow as foreign investment in Italy rises.

This time, we interviewed Alan Webber, co-founder of Fast Company and former mayor of Santa Fe (2018–2025), about how family values, education, and mentors shaped his path from early city-government work in Portland and federal transportation service to Harvard Business School and Harvard Business Review. Alan Webber discusses globalization and national competitiveness, the creation and rapid growth of Fast Company as “edutainment” focused on innovation and the future of work, and the leadership challenges of scaling and letting go. He emphasizes gratitude, respect, proportion, and purpose, contrasts entrepreneurial and political impact, and argues that real estate and public policy must work together to build inclusive, livable communities, with affordable housing addressed through both increased supply and livable wages.00:00 Welcome to Vienna00:38 Meet Alan Webber02:34 Early Life Lessons04:19 Into Public Service07:11 Government and Transport08:31 Harvard and Publishing10:05 Globalization and Industry14:29 Staying Competitive Today18:48 Fast Company Origins24:24 Building Success Factors29:57 Managing Growth Leadership32:44 Humor as Culture34:12 Letting Go After Exit37:46 Rules of Thumb Lessons39:11 Four Compass Points42:04 Entrepreneur vs Politician44:30 Building Community Place49:20 Affordable Housing Playbook56:25 Holistic Real Estate View01:00:23 Global Leadership Call01:04:06 Vienna Congress OutroLearn more about Alan Webber:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Webberhttps://www.thelegacylab.com/alan-webberhttps://www.amazon.com/Rules-Thumb-Productive-Inspired-Turbulent-ebook/dp/B0026772S8?ref_=ast_author_dp&th=1&psc=1#customerReviews

This time, we had the honor of talking with Cincinnati-based go-to-market executive, board advisor, and international real estate strategist Jason Rivero.

Jason works with developers across Latin America and Europe to connect their projects with U.S. investors while helping build networks that support cross-border real estate investment.

The conversation explores Jason’s journey from Spanish-language media into real estate and his work with NAHREP (National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals), one of the most influential organizations supporting Hispanic homeownership and wealth creation in the United States.

Jason explains how NAHREP focuses on education, networking, and long-term wealth-building for Latino real estate professionals and why the Latino community is becoming one of the most powerful economic forces in the U.S. housing market.

The episode also dives into cross-border investment trends that accelerated during the COVID era as remote work allowed buyers to rethink where they live and invest.

Jason shares insights on why destinations like Mexico, Colombia, the Caribbean, and parts of Europe are increasingly attractive to U.S. buyers.

Jason also discusses Referral Pro, a platform designed to connect high-quality, culturally capable agents who can deliver stronger referral conversions and better client outcomes.

Finally, the conversation explores the future of the industry, including how artificial intelligence could reshape marketing, improve consumer protections, and potentially accelerate consolidation across brokerages.

Topics include

• The rise of Latino economic power in the U.S.

• NAHREP’s mission and impact

• AVANCE Global and international leadership networks• Cross-border real estate investment trends

• Top international markets for U.S. buyers

• Referral Pro and agent referral networks

In this 272nd session of HalloCasa, host Michael (Brent Bowers) speaks with William E. Flippin Jr., a commercial real estate advisor with eXp Commercial based in Atlanta. William specializes in connecting global investors with development opportunities in one of the fastest-growing markets in the United States.

A major focus of William’s work is adaptive reuse—transforming underutilized properties such as churches, legacy commercial buildings, and aging hotels into hospitality, multifamily, or mixed-use developments.

In this conversation, William explains how these projects work in practice, including navigating zoning laws, building codes, denominational ownership structures, and community voting dynamics. He also shares insights into Atlanta’s population growth, the realities of gentrification, and why preserving community memory is an important part of redevelopment.

The discussion also explores how international investors—from places like Dubai and Mexico—approach U.S. real estate, how deals are sourced, and why education, trust, and careful partner vetting are critical when investing across borders.

If you’re interested in commercial real estate development, adaptive reuse projects, hotel conversions, or international real estate investing, this episode offers a practical look at how opportunities are created and executed on the ground.

Real estate agents often meet strangers, enter vacant properties, and work alone, making safety a real concern across the industry.

In this episode of the HalloCasa Podcast, we interviewed Scott Martin, Co-Founder and CEO of Tether RE, about building a proactive safety platform designed specifically for real estate professionals.

Scott explains how Tether RE evolved from a simple “follow-me” navigation app into a comprehensive 24/7 live-monitored safety system that protects agents from the moment they first contact a client to the close of a deal.

The platform combines client verification tools, safety monitoring, fraud detection, and productivity features into a single system used by agents, brokerages, and associations.

According to the National Association of Realtors, tens of thousands of crimes occur against real estate professionals each year.

Scott and his team are working to change that by creating layered safety infrastructure for the industry.

In this conversation we cover:

• Scott Martin’s entrepreneurial journey

• How Tether RE evolved into a real estate safety platform• Real estate crime statistics and risks agents face

• Client verification tools (reverse phone, address, and background checks)

• Privacy and compliance safeguards• Showing mode, timers, struggle detection and SOS dispatch

• 24/7 live monitoring and emergency response

• Listing fraud protection and data sources• AI-powered productivity tools for agents

• Why real estate associations are adopting safety protocols

• The future of safety and AI in real estateThis episode is essential listening for real estate agents, brokers, MLS leaders, proptech founders, and anyone interested in real estate technology and agent safety.
