Buying a house this fall? Make sure you know what's going on with how real-estate commissions work. Some serious changes will take place on August 17, and will affect home buyers in terms of additional fees, paperwork, and such. One house hunter I spoke to knows what's up. And he's fighting the "standard" commissions rate that the industry has quoted him. Read my story to learn more... and we'll cover this through the next few weeks, months, to see how this historic change in how the real-estate industry operates shakes out. https://lnkd.in/gZWnbGNv

Putting the customer experience first has led Flyhomes to introduce the world’s first AI-powered home search portal, a story the UW Foster School, Technology Management MBA community heard firsthand from COO Ryan Dibble at a recent Tech @ the Top Speaker Series. “We kept solving the little problems that were presented to start driving a better customer experience,” he told current and incoming students, alumni and others. Read more about the lessons Dibble shared as Flyhomes continues to disrupt the real estate market. #machinelearning #techleaders #uwtmmba

One quote from HousingWire's The Gathering has stuck with me. James Dwiggins said, "What is a buyer lead in a world where buyers need to sign a representation agreement before touring a home?" I think the NAR settlement is going to change the portal war dynamics considerably. Zillow and Realtor.com may see challenges in their buyer lead businesses, while CoStar Group's Homes.com seems poised to win market share with their seller focused model. We're already seeing an increase in skirmishing between the top portals, with Realtor.com and Homes.com really going at it recently. https://lnkd.in/ecbFFDpU I have so many questions about the big portals, like: 1. What is Zillow's strategy to maintain its dominance and stay ahead of big-spending Homes.com? 2. Is there room for more than 1-2 winners in the portal wars? 3. Realtor.com has been all in for the buyer's agent, which is admirable, but how will they respond if the number of buyer's agents shrinks dramatically after the implementation of the NAR settlement? 4. Where do Redfin, Movoto, and Flyhomes fit into this? HousingWire is thinking about a virtual event on this topic. Would that be interesting to the folks in my network?

Meet the portal wars' dark horse—and Sam Altman is invested in it If you watched the Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl back in February, you might have caught one of Homes.com’s ads, one of which featured Lil Wayne and Jeff Goldblum. These ads are part of CoStar Group-owned Homes.com's marketing campaign, which is reportedly the biggest ever in real estate, as it strives to catch up to Zillow and Realtor.com. While Homes.com has all the spotlight in the so-called “portal wars,” it appears this week the competition got its dark horse: Flyhomes. This week, the home listing site Flyhomes announced that it has acquired the real estate AI startup ZeroDown, which reportedly raised $30 million in capital from Sam Altman and the venture capital fund Goodwater Capital in 2019. Flyhomes has launched an AI-powered home search portal as a result of this acquisition. My latest for ResiClub https://lnkd.in/gUBxdRTB
