On this episode, Reed speaks with Matthew Anderson @matthewaphoto, a commercial and architecture photographer based in Kansas City, MO. Matthew has successfully transitioned his business from mainly real estate photography to exclusively working with builders/designers/architects etc. HOLD UP. Matthew is not advocating that everyone needs to abandon REP for higher-end commercial work. He really just wants to talk about the fact that every single successful REP is at some point going to be approached by non-realtor clients, so every REP should at least have a cursory knowledge of the commercial side of the business and how to approach shoots practically and financially. He also dishes on his popular YouTube channel and dishes on some controversial takes he has shared in his videos. Also, OF COURSE, they end the show with their ACTION ITEMS!

Well, this is awkward. On this episode of Upmarket, Reed and Mark dissect the bombshell news that their loyal and beloved O.G. Presenting Sponsor Aryeo had been bought out by none other than Upmarket's arch-nemesis, Zillow. (See Ep. 32 for the guy's unfiltered thoughts on Zillow.) The guys work through their emotions and speculate on what the buyout means for the Real Estate Media industry. Hot Takes abound, but Reed and Mark are eternally hopeful that their new corporate overlords don't cancel Upmarket Pod. Find out what happens IF there's a next episode of Upmarket!
