My Real Estate Show

Real Brokerage just acquired RE/MAX for $880 million. The combined company will be called Real RE/MAX Group. 180,000 agents across 120 countries. Tamir Poleg leads. The middle of the brokerage market is gone.

Sandi and Josh dig into what the deal actually means for franchise owners, the cracks showing in the rev share model, and the quiet piece nobody's talking about: Real now owns the only national mortgage brokerage franchise in the country.

They also cover Mike Fawaz back in the game with UWM in his corner and the latest on the Sam Stair federal case. Then they get into Powell stepping down at the Fed and what Compass is quietly building with Chicago's MRED.

My Real Estate Show™ goes live every weekday at 12 CST. The conversations the rest of the industry is too careful to have. No recruiting pitch, no agenda, just the daily real estate entertainment you've been missing.

Sam Stair, owner of S2 Real Estate Group, just got arrested on federal charges for gun trafficking, drug trafficking, and money laundering. He was allegedly using his brokerage as a front to rent properties to drug operators.

Sandi and Josh open with that, then break down Compass quietly building a national private listing network through Chicago's MLS, Brian Buffini stepping back from his coaching empire, and an unfiltered take on what most coaching contracts are actually doing to an agent's bottom line.

Beth Silverman walks through where AI agents are heading and why most of real estate is about to get left behind. Mark Zuckerberg has AI agents running full meetings at Meta, making decisions without him in the room. Most real estate agents still haven't figured out their CRM. That's the gap.

We break down the actual difference between AI (gives you answers when you ask) and an AI agent (makes decisions while you sleep), and what to start learning now if you don't want to spend the next 12 months catching up.
