The live call-in talk show airs from 6:15 to 7:15 every Tuesday night on 1360AM/KWWJ Radio.
HAR Chair Chaille Ralph was interviewed for an August 7 KTRK-TV/13 Eyewitness News story about the latest company to enter the Houston real estate market promising to cut commissions by tasking consumers with more of the legwork associated with buying or selling a home. Chaille noted that different business models that offer different levels of service are welcome and advised consumers to “ask the right questions, gather the right information and choose the REALTOR® that’s best for your particular situation.”
HAR Immediate Past Chairman Danny Frank spoke to Inman News reporter Paul Hagey about the acquisition of Trulia by Zillow for a story that published on July 28. Danny was also interview by reporter Andrea Brambila for an August 11 story about the recent TAR vote declining to provide member information to HAR.
