This is one of the most pivotal moments in residential real estate history. Despite legal verdicts against them, the National Association of Realtors and several large brokerage firms—along with Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) and platforms like Zillow—are fighting to preserve their decades-long control of the market. These industry powerhouses remain committed to defending their outdated practices, maintaining their grip on the real estate marketplace at all costs. Together, they've created a closed system that benefits industry insiders at your expense while keeping commissions artificially high and monetizing your property data without your knowledge.
Big real estate brokerages have methodically trained their agents to follow systems that prioritize company profits over client interests. They've maintained an artificial two-agent system that doubles transaction costs, insisted on non-negotiable commission structures, and perpetuated the myth that "this is just how real estate works" – all while consumers foot the bill to the tune of $126 billion in commissions in 2022 alone.
Meanwhile, the information landscape for home buyers and sellers has never been more confusing. Real estate advice typically comes from those who profit most from maintaining the status quo, leaving everyday Americans paying thousands in unnecessary fees for what should be a straightforward process.
I'm Mathew Speer, real estate entrepreneur and consumer advocate, and I'm launching Real Estate Insider News as an independent advisory committed to exposing the industry's outdated practices and providing logical, cost-effective solutions for buyers and sellers.
As author of "The Consumer's Guide to Buying and Selling Real Estate," I bring over two decades of investing experience and fourteen years as an agent to cut through industry misinformation. For the past eight years, I have dedicated myself to researching and developing a simple yet complete solution to replace the outdated traditional method—creating a transparent system that puts your best interests first instead of profits.
Early in my career as a licensed agent, I quickly recognized that I was part of a system designed to extract maximum fees while providing minimum transparency. I couldn't sit back and be part of the problem, so I decided to do something about it. The systems and methods I was being taught were designed to benefit brokerages and agents, not the buyers and sellers they claim to help.
With weekly insights delivered straight to your inbox, I'll provide:
Insider revelations exposing the systemic inefficiencies the real estate industry has normalized
Proven strategies that have saved my clients thousands on unnecessary commissions
Step-by-step guides to simplify buying and selling with your interests at the center
Access to modern tools that are revolutionizing property transactions through transparency

Housing is a necessity in life. Buying and selling it shouldn't cost you a small fortune.
