Redfin + Compass Deal That Changes Everything & The Real Effect of AI On Agents

On today’s Knowledge Brokers Podcast, Justin Benson, CEO of Shilo, joins Byron Lazine and Lisa Chinatti to discuss the launch of Homes.com AI (and how it compares to Zillow’s ChatGPT integration).

From there, they go into what AI actually means for real estate agents and teams, how AI will impact roles like transaction coordinators and sales managers, and why human trust and connection will still define the future of the industry. 

They also discuss the Compass-Rocket partnership and what it means for the future of the MLS.
