Send us a text

Zillow just got smacked with a RICO and RESPA class action lawsuit—and your favorite originator tag team isn’t holding back. Frazier and Michael go full Napoleon Dynamite-mode and break down how this case could rock the entire mortgage and real estate ecosystem.

This isn’t just about Flex. It’s about pay-to-play models, illegal referrals, and what needs to happen for real change. Should RESPA be redefined? Are MSAs dead? What does "value" even mean anymore in co-marketing? And what’s the real fix—more regulation, deregulation, or just brutal honesty?

This episode pulls no punches. We talk straight. We call out the games. And we challenge anyone in the industry to step into the ring if they’ve got a different take.

Plus:

💥 McAllister gets fired up about gray areas

👊 Why this lawsuit is just the start

🧠 The big questions around ethics, enforcement, and industry hypocrisy

⚖️ What should be legal vs. what’s actually going down

🚫 Why fines don’t change behavior

Why This Episode Matters:

If you’re in mortgage or real estate, this lawsuit isn’t noise—it’s a seismic shift. Whether you’re team “all MSAs should die” or “leave us alone and let us market,” this conversation will challenge your thinking and sharpen your strategy.
