Is organized real estate “going nuclear”?
Matt Widdows, Founder and Executive Chairman of HomeSmart, joins James and Keith for a raw, real discussion about what’s really happening in real estate today. From Zillow’s new ChatGPT app and AI-powered brokerage tools to private listing networks and consolidation chaos, this episode doesn’t hold back.
You’ll hear what Matt is building with AI at scale across 26,000+ agents—and why he believes brokerages that fail to integrate tech will be left behind. We dive into the Compass and Anywhere merger, the fragmentation of the MLS system, and how those changes are reshaping everything from listings to lawsuits.
More than just buzzwords, this episode explains how AI is redefining agent productivity, client experience, and what leadership will look like moving forward. Matt lays out a 5-year vision of where this is all headed—and the three most important things every agent should be doing right now to stay relevant.
