In this episode of NOISE vs. SIGNAL by Inman, Tom Bohn sits down with Showami Chief Revenue Officer Josh Kuchar to examine how a simple solution for outsourced showings grew into a national real estate platform.

Kuchar explains how Showami built a network of 220,000 agents while keeping the company lean and independently funded.

He breaks down how the platform verifies agents and protects the fiduciary relationship, and describes how brokerages expand through the platform without adding overhead.

The episode closes with the NOISE vs. SIGNAL segment. Kuchar weighs in on virtual reality tours and private listings, then turns to the rise of solo agents and what it means for an agent to build a media brand of their own.

In Episode 2 of NOISE vs SIGNAL by Inman, CEO Tom Bohn sits down with HomeServices of America President & CEO Chris Kelly to examine where residential real estate is heading and how one of the industry's largest companies is preparing for it.

Kelly explains why HomeServices of America is emerging from the background after years as the industry's quiet giant.

He shares how Berkshire Hathaway's long-term approach influences the way the company makes decisions and why he believes profitability deserves more attention across the industry. He touches on why waiting for the market to improve is not a business strategy.

The conversation moves through affordability, AI, private listings, the future of MLSs, and the role of the National Association of Realtors as the industry continues to evolve.

The episode closes with the NOISE vs. SIGNAL segment, where Kelly weighs in on private listing networks, AI replacing agents, attorneys leading brokerages, and whether today's MLSs are positioned for the next generation of real estate.
