This week on The Walk Thru, two veteran guest moderators, Jason Cassity and Dustin Brohm (aka The Massive Agent), join Byron Lazine and The Broke Agent to discuss Hurricane Ian’s destructive path along Florida’s gulf coast and what agents can do to help. 

Next on the agenda were Stefan Swanepoel’s announcement of his upcoming Real Estate News, Zillow’s launch of ShowingTime+, and YouTube Shorts. 

Illustrating that last topic, the conversation turned to Byron’s recent YouTube Short on year-round school, which drew a flood of comments.
