Russell Shaw is an incredible Real Estate agent who is on a mission to tame the three-headed monster, Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com. He has signed on for the duration of his career to be a permeant critic of Zillow. In this exclusive interview Russell dives into murky waters and shares his experiences and issues with these companies. Zillow and their silly Zestimates were founded by Richard Barton with one goal in mind, to lower Real Estate commissions. Being the house of cards that all of these companies are, it is tough to determine why we should really be concerned about what they are doing, but Russell lays it out for everyone to understand! The lack of unity between the National Association of Realtors and Realtor.com, is almost more disgusting in Russell’s opinion than Zillow and Trulia combined. In his opinion, Realtor.com should be owned by the NAR and should be included in the annual due’s that agents pay, similar to the system that Canada has in place. Russell also chats about the insider trading that Zillow executives are executing. Learn all of the right reasons to be upset with the three-headed monster!

Join us as Russell Shaw shares his Real Estate frame of mind, and dives in-depth into what is truly wrong with Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com.
