Hot Take
So, grab some popcorn because the real estate industry is turning into a smashing TV series of its own. It seems it’s no longer just about selling properties: it’s about global domination – sort of like a dramatic Monopoly game, but with more suspense, plot twists, and savvy business moves. All hail Keller Williams, crowned the king of franchise mountain, and tipping its hat to Re/Max and eXp Realty for their place in the royal court. Remember though, the game isn’t over until the last property is sold, and there’s lots more drama to unfold in the next season of the real estate world. Let’s hope this riveting show doesn’t get canceled – the economy kind of depends on it.
