Week Eight Winners
The final class of winners reads like a who’s who of the industry’s brain trust. They’ve built networks that span continents, guided luxury brands through transformation, and shaped how real estate and media collide. They’re the founders who wrote the playbook, the connectors who make the calls that matter, and the mentors who helped half this industry find its footing. From global visionaries to sharp-witted operators, this group has done more than influence real estate, they’ve defined it. If Week Eight feels a little legendary, that’s because it is.
Week Eight is sponsored by ListAssist.

Clayton Collins - HousingWire
Honestly, Jeff didn’t know anything about HousingWire when they acquired The Gathering a few years back. Well, that has changed. With Clayton’s leadership, HousingWire is THE bridge connecting mortgage and brokerage.
