Welp, I guess we can now officially say that the M&A wave in residential real estate is large and in-charge in 2026. So much so, that Compass recently acquired Anywhere, and Real is under contract to acquire RE/MAX. Just ... wow. Big moves from some of the industry's youngest, strongest players. Dig in to Part I as Sean & Tim discuss why this is happening, and where they foresee things going in the future. LFG!

Big shout-out to our show's loyal and dedicated sponsor: Property Management Redefined. John Sacks and his property management squad love our show and continue to support our mission of helping people through podcasting!

Our goal with Bricks & Risk is that you walk away with 1 or 2 valuable nuggets that can help build your own business. Our audience grows through word of mouth, so if you would please take a moment of your time and give us a review on the platform you’re on, that would be fantastic!

Please also help spread the B&R word by sharing your favorite episode with a friend. You can find all B&R episodes on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and anywhere else you get your podcast content. We greatly appreciate your time and trust.

Until next week, keep learning and keep growing!
