In Episode 2 of NOISE vs SIGNAL by Inman, CEO Tom Bohn sits down with HomeServices of America President & CEO Chris Kelly to examine where residential real estate is heading and how one of the industry's largest companies is preparing for it. Kelly explains why HomeServices of America is emerging from the background after years as the industry's quiet giant. He shares how Berkshire Hathaway's long-term approach influences the way the company makes decisions and why he believes profitability deserves more attention across the industry. He touches on why waiting for the market to improve is not a business strategy. The conversation moves through affordability, AI, private listings, the future of MLSs, and the role of the National Association of Realtors as the industry continues to evolve. The episode closes with the NOISE vs. SIGNAL segment, where Kelly weighs in on private listing networks, AI replacing agents, attorneys leading brokerages, and whether today's MLSs are positioned for the next generation of real estate. Listen if you're: Running a brokerage or leading a real estate team. Thinking about where AI fits into your business. Following the debate around private listings and MLS policy.
