The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player!
Rob and Greg dive into a packed week in real estate: the Compass–Anywhere deal officially closes, CoStar announces major spending cuts for Homes.com, and the recently settled Top Agent Network lawsuit raises big questions about the future of Clear Cooperation. They debate what these moves mean for MLSs, brokers, and portals—and preview the industry shake-ups still to come.
MLS Reset is sold out, with Rob returning as a featured speaker.
Compass–Anywhere deal closes, surprising some who expected DOJ interference.
CoStar cuts Homes.com spending by 35%, signaling a shift in strategy but not an exit from residential.
Debate over Homes.com's future: Will CoStar pivot, partner with brokerages, or rethink its model?
Top Agent Network settlement surfaces new guidance from NAR, suggesting TAN may not violate Clear Cooperation—potentially reshaping private-listing practices.
Rob and Greg strongly disagree on the long-term impact of the TAN news and the strength of private networks.
Upcoming injunction ruling (Zillow vs. NAR/DOJ context) may matter less than expected depending on how Compass positions itself.
