MyREShow™ Compass, Keller Williams, Real (and a Mars Detour)

The day after Real Brokerage agreed to buy RE/MAX for $880 million, the big three of US real estate has a new shape. Compass. Keller Williams. Real. The middle of the market is officially gone.Sandi and Josh dig into day two of the deal: why Real's stock dropped while RE/MAX's climbed, the cult-like welcome wagon from real agents already calling RE/MAX agents "family," and the Tamir Poleg lawsuits hanging over the whole thing.They also get into the OpenAI vs Musk lawsuit (with an unexpected detour about whether they'd live on Mars), Texas brokers appealing NAR mandatory membership the same day EXP files to reincorporate there, and the Trump administration putting LA wildfire mortgage recovery under a microscope.Chapters00:00 Cold open01:05 Intros02:24 Real/RE/MAX day 2: the big three is born14:17 OpenAI vs Musk and a Mars detour22:47 Texas brokers appeal NAR + EXP reincorporates27:52 Sam Stair update and Trump admin on LA wildfire recovery34:16 Industry reactions to the Real RE/MAX deal39:26 WrapMy Real Estate Show™ goes live every weekday at 12 CST.
