In this episode, I speak with Ryan Elliott, COO of Assist2Sell about the evolution of real estate business models, the flat fee approach, the impact of Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP) and the past, present and future of the MLS.
Ryan shares insights on the company's history, its unique business model that prioritizes consumer savings, and the challenges posed by MLS regulations and (lack of) competition in the real estate market. His take on topics — particularly the utility of the MLS — is an interesting, different and possibly spicy one. I think you would enjoy hearing Ryan make the case.
Differences in opinion are, of course, to be expected.
