Maggie was one of my co-founders at IRIS, a real estate software company we started back in 1992. She is a second-generation real estate agent. Maggie\u2019s mom, Martie, was the inspiration for starting a software company focused on real estate and is likely the reason I have a career today. &amp;nbsp; This episode began from a series of texts between Maggie and me about her thoughts on NAR, the lawsuits, exclusive listings, and what the pundits are getting wrong. It was a great conversation and a huge reality check for me, making me rethink some of my previous assumptions. It was a discussion that could have gone on for hours; somehow, I think we\u2019ll have to have her on as a guest again. &amp;nbsp; Reach Out:&amp;nbsp; Maggie\u2019s website Maggie's Insta Greg's&amp;nbsp;website Our Sponsors Trackxi&amp;nbsp;- Real Estate's #1 Deal Tracking Software Giant Steps Job Board&amp;nbsp;- Where Proptech gets hired Production and editing services by: Sunbound Studios ","author_name":"Listing Bits","author_url":"http:\/\/listingbits.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/33217082\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/e75127\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/33217082"}
