The Brandie and Matt Show
If you turned on the Today Show Wednesday morning to catch NAR President Tom Stevens, you might have missed him of you turned away from the TV for a moment. Only a “sound nibble” of Tom’s half hour interview made it past the editors to appear in a very biased piece on FSBOs that inaccurately reported FSBOs to be on the rise when in fact they are declining.
The day was saved in the interview segment that followed. The Today Show paired Brandie Malay, an award-winning Realtor® with @Properties in Chicago and a host of HGTV’s Designed to Sell show with Colby Sambrotto, COO of ForSaleByOwner.com. Matt Lauer kicked off the interview by putting Colby off balance with a question that made it clear the man featured in the segment was not at all a typical FSBO seller. Later Matt got Colby to admit that FSBOs often are mispriced and that there are times when it’s better to use a professional. Brandie got in the last word with a plug for the Realtor® Code of Ethics.
In addition to her TV career, Brandie has worked in the real estate and housing industry for a decade. She has consistently been an award-winning agent ranking in the top 1.5% percentile of agents in Chicago. She’s a Certified Relocation Specialist and Accredited Buyers Representative.

I saw that...pretty funny! They did not mention that you have to pay $80-$600 with no results guarantee.
