I mean, the agents that are still growing in this market, they are the better agents because they have been able to thrive in probably one of the lowest levels of volume that we've seen in a long time.

And so helping give them more agency is...

Yes, you could say we're the platform, but making them more efficient, whether it's our tools or other tools.

And so you could say that's Zillow providing more software and tools, but it's also us opening it up and giving them more agency to run the rest of their business the way they want.
