## Resource

On this episode of Closed!, recorded live at The Real Deal Forum, Mike and Emily sit down with Samir Mezrahi, founder of Zillow Gone Wild, the viral real estate platform highlighting the most unusual and unexpected listings across the country. Samir talks about the origins of Zillow Gone Wild as a pandemic-era side project that grew into a multi-platform media brand with more than 4 million followers and a hit HGTV television franchise. He breaks down why real estate has become entertainment, what really makes a listing go viral, and how the strangest homes often reveal the most about the personal and creative choices people make with the spaces they live in. From secret gun ranges hidden beneath private go-kart tracks to 68,000-square-foot Alabama mansions, Samir offers a look inside the internet’s obsession with weird homes and why real estate is the best form of storytelling.
