MyREShow™ The Truth behind AGNT’s NASDAQ debut and what it means for agents!

Episode 11 of My Real Estate Show™. CEO Sandi Lyn Burnett and Producer Brian cover the day EXP rang the bell on NASDAQ as AGNT, Real posted $456 million in Q1 revenue, the lawyers piled onto the Remax deal, and Inman dropped its 2026 Future Leaders list with co-host Josh Ries on it.EXP World Holdings officially traded as AGNT for the first time today after picking up Next Home. Sandi Lyn breaks down why the EXP stock surge in 2020 was lightning in a bottle that no real estate brokerage is going to recreate without a completely different model, and why agents who think they are going to win the lottery on a brokerage stock surge are setting themselves up to be disappointed.Then Real Brokerage's Q1 numbers. $456 million in revenue, up 32 percent year over year. The big takeaway: real estate brokerages do not make their money on the brokerage itself. They make it on title, mortgage, and the rest of the verticals.Then Inman's 2026 Future Leaders list dropped, and co-host Josh Ries made it in the agents, teams, and brokers category. Big congratulations to Josh.Then Compass. Reffkin used the May 6 investor call to commit to taking MRED national, and the very next day MLS CLAW in Southern California announced Compass International Holdings would feed its full active listing inventory into the MLS. The Compass pipe is now plugged into Chicago, Nashville, and Los Angeles. Sandi Lyn calls it 4D chess and explains why Zillow and Realtor.com had to lock arms to fight one broker owner.Plus a detour explaining the fallout of the 2020 Derecho, and a list of trending audio and format ideas for agents who want to make reels right now.Show WebsiteChapters:00:00 Disclaimer and cold open 01:38 Why this show exists 03:14 EXP rings the bell on NASDAQ as AGNT 06:21 Why the EXP 2020 stock surge was lightning in a bottle 07:38 Agents who think they will win the lottery on brokerage stock 08:46 Brian's take and the ticker change as a fresh slate 09:17 Real Brokerage Q1 revenue: $456 million up 32 percent 10:38 Why brokerages do not actually make money on the brokerage 11:43 Lawyers stack complaints on the Remax deal 12:50 Inman drops the 2026 Future Leaders list 13:47 Josh Ries named a future leader 14:35 Reffkin takes MRED and CLAW national 17:43 Trending reel formats for agents 20:17 Reel react: Iowa Derecho, insurance, and property tax pain 24:00 Why your paid-off home should not mean perpetual property taxes 26:16 Brian's case against unrealized gains taxation on housing 27:42 WrapMy Real Estate Show™ goes live every weekday at 12 CST.
