Start listening

Private listings are at the center of one of the biggest debates in real estate  and Side’s founders aren’t holding back.

In this episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, Guy Gal and Hilary Saunders break down what private listings mean for sellers, agents, and the future of brokerage. From fiduciary duty concerns to fair housing implications, they tackle the private listings controversy head-on.

You’ll learn:

  • Why private listings may not benefit 98% of sellers
  • The historical consolidation cycle repeating itself in brokerage
  • How the internet shifted power from brokerage brands to individual agents
  • Why the part-time agent model still dominates brokerage economics
  • How top teams are scaling by “getting out of their own way”

Guy explains why community beats corporate consolidation long-term. Hilary shares why private listings could raise legal and fiduciary red flags. Together, they reveal how agents who build real businesses, not just memberships, are winning.

If you’re trying to understand private listings, brokerage consolidation, and how to future-proof your real estate business, this conversation delivers clarity.
