#RealEstateBusiness #Zillow #CoStar

Byron Lazine, Tom Toole, and Lisa Chinatti dive into the New York AG’s antitrust investigation into Compass and Connecticut’s brand-new ban on private pocket listings.

They also tackle a shocking new survey showing 82% of agents get zero leads from paid ads. Plus, they break down the latest AI search tools from Realtor.com and ChatGPT, and how to actually build a high-converting follow-up system.

Finally, they discuss the reality behind agent optimism versus actual pending home sales. The crew also shares their boldest macroeconomic predictions, from sticky mortgage rates to upcoming interest rate cuts and how they could impact your business.
