## Resource

Real estate consolidation is accelerating, and Brian Donnellan of Bright MLS warns that a single nationwide MLS database would be disastrous—despite pressure on smaller organizations. Having merged nine MLSs, he knows consolidation can work—but only if done thoughtfully. With tech advancing fast, those without scale are at risk. He also clarifies Bright MLS’s partnership with Compass, separating myth from reality. The future hinges on balancing efficiency with stability, especially as broker data ownership and new platforms like REdistribute reshape the landscape. This is a make-or-break moment for the industry’s tech and data future. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
