The real estate industry has reached breaking point, but Realtor.com CEO Damien Eales isn’t backing down.
In this episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, enjoy a candid conversation with Eales about America’s housing situation, the war over listing data, and what he thinks is the most important battle of our time: affordable homeownership.
highlights
In a candid conversation about where the industry is heading and why the stakes have never been higher, Eales unpacks:
The housing affordability crisis, why there is a shortage of first-time buyers, and what needs to happen federally and locally to solve housing affordability How political inaction and NIMBYism are exacerbating the crisis Why private listing networks could spark the next wave of fair housing lawsuits The real reason some portals mislead consumers and investors Why MLS is under attack and what it means for agents Why it’s time to double down on transparency, collaboration, and consumer trust Eels’ take on Coster, Homes.com and flawed audience metrics How the new Realtor.com+ platform is reimagining agent-client collaboration
Eels has no tolerance for transparency, collaboration and the need to get back to our true mission of serving buyers and sellers.
