I’m back talking even more Zillow talk this week! We released an episode a couple of weeks ago with Bryce Wade but we need to talk more about Zillow’s latest announcement that they are cancelling their iBuyer program, selling off 70% of their inventory at losses, and laying off 25% of their employees. I discuss why that program was such a collosal disaster for them as a company as to what I think they should do going forward. This is the first LIVE episode we have recorded and uploaded as a true podcast.
