this Week in Real Estate - tWiRE

A weekly live news show where an Arkansas real estate broker breaks down industry headlines with co-hosts and a live digital audience.

The brief

This is a live, weekly news-and-analysis roundtable for real estate professionals. Host Ray Ellen presents the week's top stories—from legal battles involving Zillow and Compass to Fed rate changes—and debates the implications with a rotating cast of co-hosts and live audience members from YouTube and Clubhouse. The show functions as an industry-focused news commentary program, breaking down headlines with practitioners in real time.

The show's live, multi-platform format allows for real-time audience participation, blending prepared news analysis with spontaneous commentary from active professionals in the field. This creates a dynamic, community-driven conversation rather than a one-way broadcast.
