MyREShow™ Agents Can Talk About Crime Stats Again. Finally.

Episode 5 of My Real Estate Show™. CEO Sandi Lyn Burnett and co-host Josh, an Inman contributor and managing broker, run through the news the rest of the industry is too polished to cover. Producer Brian holds it down behind the board.

HUD Assistant Secretary Craig Trainor sent an open letter confirming agents do not violate the Fair Housing Act by discussing crime statistics or school quality with clients. That walks back years of NAR guidance telling agents to redirect those questions to third party tools or the local police department.

Then the brokerage shake-up. Keller Williams named Christopher Brodhead as Chief Revenue Officer. Douglas Elliman tapped Lena Johnson, formerly of one Sotheby's, as national brokerage president. Anywhere CEO told a gathering audience the same week that scale is becoming a superpower for brokerages.

On the legal side, Compass and United Real Estate filed motions to settle in the Tikori commission case. Weichert is pushing for a stay. Compass also filed a motion to dismiss certain counterclaims from Northwest MLS, and the private listing network fight is heating up.

Plus a side trip into cancel culture, the Carson King story, and a Mafia Wars confession from 2008 that has nothing to do with chocolate.
