Episode Synopsis

This week on RealTrending, Tracey Velt talks with Keith Robinson, co-CEO of NextHome and author of the Substack "Crazy Uncle Keith." Tracey and Keith dive into the seismic shifts reshaping real estate, including the potential Compass-Anywhere merger, the ongoing fallout from the settlement lawsuit and the pro-agent group pushing for more transparency at NAR.

Keith shares his take on private listing networks, why the industry's most defensible position is "the human being," and how agents can capitalize on the current rate environment to boost their business.

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn:



Why the Compass-Anywhere merger could trigger an "arms race for listings"




How agents can actually make more money now, post-settlement, by creating better buyer offerings




The real impact of private listing networks on home buyers and sellers




Why Keith believes NAR is finally heading in the right direction under Nykia Wright




How rates below 6.5% for 60+ days signal a market shift agents can't afford to miss




The three traits every agent needs to develop by 2030, including a "healthy fear of AI"
