Question: Can you explain the latest news about partnerships between brokerages and websites like Redfin and Zillow for pre-market inventory?
Answer:
The fight over listings has shifted from theory to reality. Major brokerages, portals, and platforms are actively reshaping where listings appear, what data is shared, and who controls it. For buyers and sellers, the biggest risk isn’t who wins, it’s what gets lost if the market becomes fragmented.

In January 2025, we told you that the Trump Administration was trying to abolish birthright citizenship by executive order. We predicted that the order would be subject to an immediate injunction, and we predicted further that the litigation would proceed, through the appellate process, to the Supreme Court, and, once there, the Trump Administration would lose 9:0.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, in which the question of birthright citizenship was placed squarely before the Court. Clearly, this was an important case for the Trump Administration; President Trump put in a personal appearance at the Supreme Court, left in the middle of oral argument, then ‘truthed’ his view that “We are the only Country in the World STUPID enough to allow ‘Birthright’ Citizenship!” (more…)

About a month ago, ARLnow gave me the chance to share a letter with this community about why I decided to start All Team Exteriors, and what I hoped we could build if things went right. I wasn’t sure how it would land. Writing something personal in public always feels a little risky.
What happened next honestly surprised me.
I heard from neighbors I’ve never met. Friends sent screenshots saying “Hey, I just read about you.” A few homeowners reached out just to say good luck. And some trusted us with something important — their homes.
That support didn’t go unnoticed. It meant more than I can put into words. (more…)
