  • 9: Can I Have Some "Transparency" With That Devaluation?

    9: Can I Have Some "Transparency" With That Devaluation?
    2025/12/08
    This week’s 3 headlines:
    (1) Transparency + industry response to NAR
    (2) Compass v. Zillow lawsuit + industry response
    (3) Sitzer/Burnett appeal update.

    This is a solo episode because the headlines are the guest. We’re talking about what “transparency” actually means in real estate right now—especially around referral fees, private exclusives, portal policies, and the legal/compliance guardrails that are shaping how brokerages respond.
