In this episode of Rise Above The Ranks, James Harris sits down with Brendan Wallace, CEO & CIO of Fifth Wall, for a conversation on how AI, technology, and innovation are reshaping the future of real estate.

Top agents know one thing: proximity matters. That’s why Zillow Unlock 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most important rooms to be in this year. From October 12–15 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas, top agents from across the industry will come together to share what’s actually working right now: real strategies, real conversations, and real connections. Early access ticketing is officially open, and you don’t want to miss it. Secure your spot at https://bit.ly/unlock2026

James and Brendan then dive into:

• Why AI won’t replace great real estate agents

• The future of proptech & real estate innovation

• The biggest mistakes agents are making with AI

• Why human connection still matters in real estate

• How technology is changing the buying & selling experience

• What separates successful founders and entrepreneurs

Brendan also explains why the agents who embrace technology now will be the ones leading the industry over the next decade, while those ignoring it risk falling behind.

If you want to understand where real estate, AI, and technology are headed next, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
