Industry Relations Podcast: Macro, Housing, and Authenticity with Keith Robinson

Greg was out on vacation so Rob brings in guest host Keith Robinson, Chief Strategic Officer for NextHome.

How much does the economy affect the housing market? Or do we buy and sell homes based on what’s happening in our individual lives more than what’s happening on Wall Street?
