There’s a major battle happening in real estate right now over private listings, office exclusives, and what many are calling “shadow inventory.”

SmartMLS CEO Michael Barbaro recently warned that growing market fragmentation could be “devastating” to the industry and even compared it to commercial real estate, where brokers often have to search multiple places just to find available inventory.

The bigger question is this:

If listings start becoming more private and segmented, does that help sellers… or hurt transparency and competition for buyers?

This conversation is getting bigger fast and could reshape how homes are bought and sold over the next several years.

What do you think?

The real estate industry is changing faster than ever.

Between major mergers, AI, shifting consumer expectations, and companies fighting for inventory and market share, we’re watching the future of real estate unfold in real time.

In this video, I break down what the eXp + NextHome deal REALLY means, why leaders like James Dwiggins, Keith Robinson, and Leo Pareja are thinking years ahead, and why the agents who adapt early are going to create massive opportunity over the next decade.

This isn’t just about one acquisition.

It’s about where the entire industry is heading next.

Would love to hear your thoughts on where real estate is going over the next 5 years.
