Inside AI – Episode 8 with Zach Gorman – Where Does AI Go Next?

Don’t miss our latest video – Inside AI Episode 8 with Zach Gorman, co-founder of RealReports. What if we have been thinking too small about AI in real estate? For the last few years, much of the AI conversation for real estate agents has centered on saving time. Write my listing description. Draft this email. Summarize these documents. Create a social post. Those are valuable uses, and when you add up all those little time savings, they can make a meaningful difference in an agent’s day. But Zach Gorman, co-founder of RealReports, is pushing the conversation somewhere else. During my [...]

Real estate brokers have never carried this much responsibility for technology they did not select, approve, or even know their agents were using.

Beyond Dues and Fees: The MLS Case for Non-Dues Revenue Done Right

Association Dues and MLS subscriptions will never fund the MLS you need to operate. MLSs and boards that keep treating non-dues revenue as a side hustle are leaving money on the table. The associations and MLSs winning this decade aren't the ones chasing the next shiny vendor deal. They're the ones building disciplined, recurring non-dues revenue programs that make membership more valuable without stepping on the one thing that keeps brokers writing checks to the MLS: their own product differentiation.

NAR study: More than half of Realtors are not using AI regularly

If AI is becoming such an important part of real estate, why are more than half of Realtors still not using it regularly? That may be the most important question buried inside the National Association of Realtors’ new 2026 Realtors Technology Report. The good news is that AI adoption is clearly accelerating. The more complicated story is that there is still a massive gap between trying AI and making it part of the way agents work every day. NAR found that 23% of Realtors use AI daily and another 25% use it weekly. That means 52% are not using AI [...]

Contrary to Some People’s Beliefs, MRED’s PLN Status Has LESS Double-Ended Deals Than Active Status

For years, some have argued that allowing a private status within an MLS creates an environment where listing agents can hold properties close and capture both sides of the transaction. If that were happening systematically in MRED’s marketplace, we would expect to see higher double-ending rates in PLN Status.

The Listing Is the Song. The Agent Is the DJ

Inventory stopped being a competitive advantage the day the internet showed up, and the industry is still pretending otherwise. MLS compliance guarantees every participating agent the same data feed. AI is about to guarantee every agent the same property description, the same market report, the same “Just Listed” graphic. The only asset left that a competitor cannot copy, scrape, or automate is an audience that already trusts you. Brokerages and MLSs that keep training agents to market listings instead of building audiences are optimizing for a commodity that is depreciating in real time.

Inside AI – Episode 7 with Summer Goralik – Your AI agent can’t get a real estate license. But you can lose yours.

Don’t miss our latest video – Inside AI Episode 7 with Summer Goralik, a leading expert on AI and real estate compliance. AI is getting better at doing things on behalf of real estate agents, and that is exactly where the legal questions begin. Once an AI system starts communicating with consumers, interpreting information, giving advice or taking action on your behalf, it may be moving into activity that requires a real estate license. The problem is simple: AI cannot get one. That creates a problem the industry has barely begun to address. As AI moves from generating content to [...]

One Brand, One Culture, One Operating System: Congratulations to TTR Sotheby’s and ONE Sotheby’s

The acquisition of TTR Sotheby's International Realty and ONE Sotheby's International Realty by Sotheby’s International Realty is the clearest example yet of the most important trend in brokerage M&A today: brand-on-brand rollups. Two strong affiliates flying the same flag, sharing the same culture and the same operating system, choosing to grow together under the corporate umbrella. That is the model, and this deal is the proof.

The Keeper of Mendota Meadows: The road nobody planned

The MLS industry is being reshaped by private listing strategies, changing rules around cooperation and public marketing, questions about who controls and licenses real estate data, and the rapid rise of AI. Against that backdrop, Daniel Jones of Hive MLS has created a new Declaration of MLS Stewardship Principles - and MLS Constitution – that defines the core tenets of an MLS and establish a framework around which MLSs could create a Federation. This certainly will be a hot topic at the upcoming CMLS Open House at the end of this month. In the story below, written by Daniel Jones, [...]
