What do you get when you combine 15 years at Zillow, a stop at Tom Ferry, and leadership roles across PropTech?
You get Andrew Wild, one of the most experienced insiders in the real estate space.
In this episode, James Dwiggins and Keith Robinson talk with Andrew about:
- What it was like scaling Zillow from employee #60 to 6,000+

- How Lofty is reimagining CRMs with AI-powered outcomes
- Why consumer-first thinking is still rare in this industry
- What brokers must do to survive margin compression and tech disruption
You’ll also hear:
