Content warning: sexual harassment, assault, sex trafficking, and child exploitation mentioned in this episode. We were going to take the week off. Then our inbox had other plans. This episode is about one thing: powerful people in real estate who abuse, harass, and exploit — and an industry that keeps protecting them. From a state association CEO with a civil trial on the horizon and allegations spanning two decades, to a national association president who resigned in disgrace, to luxury bro...
Pocket listings. Private exclusives. Coming soon. Off-market. Whatever they're calling it this week, the industry has spent years telling sellers that keeping their home out of public view is somehow for their benefit. In this episode, we call that out. We break down how private listing strategies turned your home into bait for brokerage marketing machines, how the "historic alliance" between Compass, Rocket and Redfin was built on the exact practices Compass spent years publicly condem...
Welcome to Real Estate Called Out, formerly The Real Estate Replay. New name, sharper focus, and zero patience for the corporate spin that passes for real estate news every single week. For our first episode, we're starting with a good one. Opendoor's CEO jumped on social media to announce 30-year fixed mortgages at 4.99%, nearly a full point below market rate, no points, no upfront fees. The internet lost its mind. The napkin math started. And then, one day later, he quietly came back to cla...
What happens when a Silicon Valley company offers homeowners $50 Amazon gift cards to submit favorable testimony to a state legislature, and doesn't disclose it? I watched it happen in real time. In this episode, I'm telling the full story of the day I drove 3.5 hours to the Pennsylvania State Capitol to testify in support of HB 2120, a bill that would require home equity investments (HEIs), also called shared appreciation agreements or home equity sharing agreements, to be regulated as mortg...
Welcome to 2026! Before we make any resolutions about doing better, let's talk about all the real estate ish that needs to stay in 2025. This episode is your complete guide to everything we're leaving behind: coaches still denying the NAR settlement mattered, agents going viral for steering content and threatening critics, companies creating fake AI testimonials, RESPA violations dressed up as "networking," and brokers who conveniently ignored their top producers crossing every ethical ...
Special Episode! Between July and September 2025, we did something crazy: we pretended to be homebuyers and called 281 real estate agents across 26 cities to see what they're ACTUALLY telling consumers about commissions post-settlement. The NAR settlement was supposed to introduce price competition and transparency. So what happened? In this special one-off episode, I break down what we found: Why agents in 8 major cities ALL quoted the exact same rate (down to the decimal point)The #1 lie ag...
In this episode, we sit down with David Friend, who spent over a decade at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) from the recovery for the market crash through 2022. Think the CFPB is a regulatory monster killing innovation? That's exactly what certain billionaire tech leaders want you to believe, because consumer protection tends to get in the way of "moving fast and breaking things" (especially when those "things" are your financial wellbeing). David takes us inside the agency tha...
We're Back! Did you miss us? In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with Sam Koppelman, Publisher of Hunterbrook Media, to discuss their groundbreaking investigative work exposing some of the biggest names in real estate. Sam takes us inside their investigations into DR Horton and Lennar's construction nightmares, where new homebuyers discovered serious defects in properties they thought were their dream homes. We explore Hunterbrook's reporting on UWM and the mortgage broker referral...
