The biggest stories in real estate rarely end with the headline. From industry controversies and market shake-ups to the topics everyone is talking about behind closed doors, REB’s new podcast Real Estate Exposed is here to cut through the noise.

In the debut episode of Real Estate Exposed, Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer break down the major developments shaping the real estate industry, giving agents deeper context.

The pair tackle the collapse of buyer’s agency Dashdot and the controversial launch of its founders’ new business venture, questioning what it means for trust, accountability, and the wider industry while hundreds of former clients remain out of pocket.

The conversation also examines the rush of self-managed super fund (SMSF) buyers racing to beat the August deadline, what happens when that demand disappears, and why some agents are already preparing for a very different market.

Along the way, the duo share the stories catching the industry’s attention, reveal what they’re hearing from agents across the country, and explain why Real Estate Exposed is set to become the go-to podcast for the conversations happening behind the headlines.
