Beyond the Median: DAYZERO with Joel Tomaino & Kent Lardner

This week on DAYZERO, we go under the hood of the FOUNDIT research engine. Co-founder Joel Tomaino is joined by Head of Research Kent Lardner to discuss the shift from traditional buyer advocacy to a vertically integrated, data-first model.

In a market where stakes have never been higher, relying on a simple "CMA" or a generic bank AVM isn't enough. Kent and Joel break down the proprietary "Investment Banking Playbook" for property, explaining how to strip back the "noise" of median house prices to find true value.
