Can You Regulate "Public Marketing"?

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! Overview Rob and Greg open the episode by honoring Glenn Kelman's retirement from Redfin, reflecting on his leadership style, industry impact, and memorable moments. The conversation then pivots to new state-level legislation in Wisconsin and Washington targeting listing transparency, and whether laws attempting to regulate "public marketing" will actually change broker behavior—or simply create loopholes. Key Takeaways Glenn Kelman's legacy: Widely regarded as a first-ballot industry Hall of Famer for his longevity, candor, and mission-driven leadership at Redfin. Marketing vs. data: "Marketing" a listing is not the same as disclosing full MLS data—an important distinction lawmakers may be overlooking. Legislation limits: New laws requiring public marketing are difficult to define and enforce, and may fail to prevent private or limited-exposure listings. Free market tension: Over-regulation can lead to workarounds and unintended consequences rather than the transparency it aims to create. MLS role evolving: MLS participation is increasingly seen as a trade-off rather than a necessity, though inertia and seller expectations remain powerful forces.
