Summary
Summary: In this solo episode of Real Estate Riches , host Kathy Byrnes sounds the alarm on the hidden vulnerabilities facing real estate agents amidst historic industry shifts, including the massive Compass-Anywhere corporate merger. Navigating a tightening 2026 market shaped by high interest rates and global instability, Kathy explains why part-time hobbyists are failing and how top producers must leverage advanced AI video and automated lead systems to survive. She also pulls back the curtain on predatory corporate cash incentives, contrasting traditional franchise models with the collaborative, agent-centric structure of eXp Realty.
