Greg Robertson sits down with Brett Humphrey, founder of Joynt, to discuss a new approach to housing affordability through co-ownership. Brett shares his background as a longtime software developer and entrepreneur, including selling a consulting business to Accenture before launching Joynt. The conversation explores how shared home ownership could help address affordability challenges by allowing multiple buyers to jointly purchase and manage property, along with the technical and legal infrastructure required to make that process safe and practical.
Founder background: Brett Humphrey spent decades as a software engineer and consultant before launching Joynt, an idea he had been considering since the early 2000s.
Affordability challenge: The core problem Joynt aims to address is housing affordability, particularly in expensive markets like Southern California.
Co-ownership model: Joynt enables multiple parties to co-own a home, providing tools and frameworks to handle ownership structure, responsibilities, and ongoing management.
Making co-ownership practical: The platform focuses on reducing the complexity and risk of shared ownership by providing software tools and structured agreements.
Shift in industry thinking: The discussion highlights the need for the real estate industry to think beyond traditional home purchases and consider alternative ownership models.
Timing and market conditions: Rising home prices and affordability pressures make shared ownership models increasingly relevant.

In this episode of Listing Bits, Greg Robertson sits down with Marcus Brown, founder of MLS Pipeline. Marcus shares his path from real estate agent to solo software founder, discussing how frustrations with lead generation, CMAs, and manual marketing workflows led him to build a Canva-based MLS data integration. The conversation covers MLS sales cycles, member-benefit products, and why automation and design flexibility matter for agents today.
Marcus Brown transitioned from working auctions and traditional real estate sales into building real estate software.
Partial “home value” leads often converted better than fully submitted leads when followed up with hand-delivered CMAs.
MLS Pipeline connects MLS data directly into Canva, eliminating copy/paste and manual data entry.
The product is designed as an MLS member benefit rather than a direct-to-agent SaaS.
MetroList is the first MLS to officially launch MLS Pipeline on its dashboard.

Greg Robertson sits down with Julie Drazen, founder of Editora, to talk about her background in film and commercial editing and how that experience led to building a fast, opinionated video-editing platform for real estate agents. Julie explains how Editora uses AI as a behind-the-scenes tool (not a replacement for craft), why simplicity and taste matter in listing videos, and how the product is designed to save agents time while keeping branding consistent across brokerages.
Julie’s career in commercial editing and documentary filmmaking shaped Editora’s focus on storytelling, pacing, and taste.
Editora automates listing videos from professional photos, handling shot selection, order, scripts, and voiceover with AI assistance.
The platform prioritizes simplicity: fewer choices, consistent branding, and no flashy transitions or gimmicks.
Agents can create videos quickly on desktop or mobile, including status updates like “just listed,” “under contract,” and “sold.”
Pricing tiers launch February 1, with a free first listing video and scalable options for solo agents, teams, and brokerages.
