      This week on The Clean Close, we break down the biggest real estate headlines shaping the market right now — from the Fed’s latest rate cut to rising buyer-agent commissions, Zillow’s legal battles, and the growing role of corporate ownership in U.S. housing.

      Then, CEO of Cal American Homes and HGTV host of Vintage Flip, Jessie Rodriguez, joins the show for an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about real estate reality TV, what flipping homes is really like when the cameras turn off, and how today’s market headlines impact investors, renovators, and agents alike.

      If you want real context — not hype — this episode is for you.
