About this listen
(1) Transparency + industry response to NAR
(2) Compass v. Zillow lawsuit + industry response
(3) Sitzer/Burnett appeal update.
This is a solo episode because the headlines are the guest. We’re talking about what “transparency” actually means in real estate right now—especially around referral fees, private exclusives, portal policies, and the legal/compliance guardrails that are shaping how brokerages respond.
