Zillow Doesn’t Own Homeownership. He Wants To
Bobby Bryant, founder and CEO of HomeHub AI, discusses his vision to build an AI-native real estate operating system that consolidates the fragmented homeownership journey into a single platform.

Bryant shares his 27-year journey from teacher to mortgage broker to real estate entrepreneur, explaining how industry fragmentation and the rise of AI created an opportunity to rebuild real estate infrastructure from the ground up.
