Luke Acree of ReminderMedia joins Byron Lazine and Tom Toole to discuss a Washington state bill request to ban private listings, the Compass–Anywhere merger, Glenn Kelman’s exit from Redfin, CPI inflation data, and what leadership looks like in volatile markets.
The conversation covers platform power, forced tech adoption, political framing in housing policy, and why people—not products—ultimately drive business outcomes.

#realestateleadership #Compass #CPI

Byron Lazine, Tom Toole, and Lisa Chinatti unpack two announcements by President Trump this week—one targeting Wall Street real estate investors and the other directing his 'representatives' to buy $200B in mortgage bonds. They also discuss the Compass Anywhere merger closing for $1.6M, CoStar reducing its Homes.com spend by more than a third, and the December jobs report.
