Testing Reffkin’s big idea: Take the Intel Index survey today

Compass is bigger than ever, and its battle plans are taking shape.

To help chart the course for where the industry should head next, Inman once again invites you to take real estate’s most ambitious monthly survey: the Inman Intel Index.

This month’s survey takes a close look at Compass CEO Robert Reffkin’s recent call for brokerages to band together to create a national MLS governed by an independent board. Do agents and brokerage leaders see this as a viable path forward?

Thank you,

Team Inman
