The Engine That Powers the American Dream w/ Colin Mullane
Episode 20
dimanche 12 avril 2026 • Duration 01:13:38
As NAR's 2026 First Vice President, Colin Mullane brings a unique viewpoint to his role that is shaped by 27 years of active experience as a broker-owner who still lists and sells property. That combination of boots-on-the-ground practice and high-level leadership gives him a perspective that's equal parts strategic and practical.
In this energetic conversation with Matthew and Kimberly, Colin is just as comfortable unpacking NAR's role as the country's largest and most bipartisan lobbying force as he is talking shop about the day-to-day realities of running a real estate business.
Listen in to hear more about Colin's journey from Limerick, Ireland to Ashland, Oregon, how agents can stay ahead of clients using AI to second-guess their advice, and why he thinks of NAR as an engine that can drive homeownership and advocate for the benefit of consumers.
