This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we discuss the big real estate technology news of the week: Rocket Companies, the mortgage, real estate and personal finance giant, is buying Redfin , the Seattle-based tech-powered real estate company that has been a longtime disrupter in the world of buying and selling homes. Joining us to assess the implications are Stephanie Reid-Simons , who oversees the news team at RealEstateNews.com as a senior vice president with the news site; and Tim Ellis , a former Redfin market analyst who's a podcaster and blogger, and a veteran of Seattle-area startups including Porch, Moz, and Glowforge. Also on the show: Microsoft brings its Copilot AI technology to gaming , but can Microsoft prove this is more than Xbox meets Clippy? We’ll consider that question in the final segment with Thomas Wilde , an independent video-game journalist and editor who writes about games for GeekWire , Hard Drive , and other publications. Join us at Microsoft@50 at Town Hall Seattle this Thursday, March 20. With GeekWire co-founder Todd Bishop. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
