Brokerage

Brokerage models earn their keep by acting as the essential bridge between people looking to buy and sell big assets. They use code to automate the “handshake” so the system works 24/7 without needing a traditional agent’s permission for every step. The secret sauce is having the most eyes and the most listings in one spot, making it the only place worth visiting. This model creates wealth by taking a tiny slice of the world’s biggest transactions while you sleep. Zillow and Robinhood show how to own the deal without owning the asset.
