Ryan Poole, Founder and the innovative force behind RealTrade Inc., joins us to unpack the seismic shifts currently rocking the real estate world.

RealTrade Inc. is an online marketplace and social platform for real estate that brings together the best in data, agents, and other professionals to help buyer and sellers build the most trusted real estate network and make the best buying and selling decisions.

Together, we discuss how RealTrade is leading a charge towards transparency by allowing buyers, sellers, and brokers more control over their data.

The episode navigates the evolving roles of real estate agents amid recent disruptions to traditional MLS cooperation agreements. With the spotlight on the elimination of guaranteed buyer's agent commissions, Ryan and I discuss how agents are adapting by crafting private networks for property marketing, challenging giants like Zillow.

RealTrade is at the helm of this change, empowering agents to communicate directly with buyers and sellers, reshaping the typical real estate transaction landscape.

As we explore new investment strategies, the discussion turns to the multifamily sector and the opportunities arising from rising interest rates and shifting rental values.

From long-term property investments to the importance of never selling too soon, this episode is packed with insights and strategies for navigating today's challenging real estate environment.

Economic fallacies are like ghost stories for the financially literate: they persist, despite evidence to the contrary. What fallacies might be influencing your real estate and financial decisions?

Join me for this episode of Real Estate Lowdown Coffee with Bill as we unravel some of the most entrenched misconceptions shaping our economic landscape.

From the aftermath of what President Trump termed "Liberation Day" and the ripple effects of new tariffs to revisiting Alan Greenspan's pre-2008 housing crisis remarks, we'll explore how influential figures can fall into the trap of faulty reasoning.

We'll also scrutinize the zero-sum fallacy that perpetuates the notion that one party's gain has to be another's loss, questioning the assumptions that guide our economic thinking and urging a fresh perspective on growth and transactions.

Beyond financial fallacies, we of course examine the real estate market's most stubborn misconceptions. Are we really facing a housing shortage, or is that just a narrative spun by those with something to gain?

With data in hand, we uncover how increased housing units are outstripping population growth, pointing to a potential oversupply rather than scarcity - underscoring the fallacies maintained by stakeholders whose livelihoods depend on these narratives.

Amidst the allure of low interest rates and an era of "free money," we'll dismantle the narrative of cap rates that seemed lower than they should have been.

Tune in for a revealing discussion that cuts through the noise to challenge conventional wisdom.
