In this week’s episode of The Walk Thru, first-time guest moderator Shannon Gillette—Instagram phenom and leader of The Gillette Group—and Walk Thru veteran, Dustin Brohm, aka The Massive Agent, join The Broke Agent and Byron Lazine, who is thrilled to be back in the co-host seat. 

The conversation starts with the viral “Airbnbust” tweet (and the real issue behind it) and moves on to the record deceleration in home price growth and the doubling of days on market since spring. This segues to a brief but lively discussion on “Marry the House, Date the Rate.”

The final topic relates to big changes in social, as Instagram experiments with adding songs to profiles, and Zuckerberg admits he missed a giant shift in social networking.
