Mortgage Rates Hit 6.7% & Housing Market Is Changing Fast - What Happens Next?
Sep 14, 202635 min
Is the housing shortage actually a myth? A new report from Zelman and Associates argues the real crisis isn't a quantity shortage — it's an affordability shortage concentrated in starter homes, while deficit estimates from the White House, Realtor.com, and Harvard vary wildly. In this week's Market Trends podcast episode, Matt Lombardi and Steve Kaempf break down the data, plus a strong August jobs report (162,000 jobs added), mortgage rates holding at 6.7% as buyers get squeezed, institutional investors pulling back sharply after new housing legislation, Chicago's revised renter protection ordinance, and September's realtor safety month with key tips for agents in the field.

65% Rate Hike Odds, $43K AI Savings, 6% Commissions & 10% Fewer Americans Are Moving
Sep 9, 202636 min
Only 8% of home sellers think a combined 6% buyer agent commission is fair, and 59% didn't even know they could opt out of paying it. In this week's market trends episode, Matt Lombardi and Steve Kaempf break down a new survey on how confused sellers still are about commissions, and why 93% who actually negotiated got a lower rate. Plus: Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signals inflation isn't fully tamed at Jackson Hole, with markets now pricing in a 64-65% chance of a September rate hike; Compass settles its three-year lawsuit with Northwest MLS; an AI startup called Ridley claims it's saved home sellers an average of $43,000 per transaction; and new data shows Americans are moving less than ever, choosing to renovate and "stay put" instead.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
