Ep. 239 - Rocket Mortgage IS Coming For Your Clients

Описание: In Episode 239 of The Only Real Estate Podcast Worth Listening To, hosts Nick Good and Matt Kelderman break down a massive shift in the real estate landscape — and why agents like you need to be paying attention.

Rocket Mortgage is no longer just a lender. With its recent acquisitions of Redfin and Mr. Cooper, it’s becoming a vertically integrated powerhouse that could dramatically impact how clients buy, sell, and finance homes — without ever talking to a traditional real estate agent.

In this episode, Nick and Matt cover:
✅ What Rocket’s acquisition of Mr. Cooper really means
✅ Why their 83% client recapture rate should scare every lender and agent
✅ The real threat of data-driven platforms that offer one-click mortgage and real estate solutions
✅ How to future-proof your real estate business with branding, better systems, and client experience
✅ What “platformification” means and how it’s shaping the industry’s next wave

Whether you’re an agent, lender, team leader, or broker, this is one episode you can’t afford to miss.
