Big tech is reshaping real estate—here's why you should think twice before relying on these platforms.

Fun SD Activities Rocket + Redfin: What This Means for Buyers & Sellers Rocket Companies acquiring Redfin for $1.75 billion sounds like a big deal, but for most buyers and sellers, it's business as usual. While Rocket hopes to create a seamless home-buying experience by merging home search with mortgage services, the reality is that these platforms still prioritize data over personal service. Platforms like Rocket, Redfin, and Zillow are designed to generate leads, not provide real expertise. They collect and sell your information, leading to endless calls and generic recommendations. Automated valuations and AI-driven listings can't replace the local knowledge and negotiation skills of a trusted agent. For sellers, there's a better way. With Compass Concierge, you can make high-impact home improvements—like staging, painting, and renovations—without paying a dime upfront, helping your home sell faster and for more money. That's real value, not just an algorithm guessing at your home's worth. For buyers, Compass offers Private Exclusives—the largest collection of off-market listings of any brokerage. These homes aren't on Zillow, Redfin, or anywhere else online. The only way to access them? Working with an agent like me. If you're thinking about making a move, let's talk.
