We convinced two brilliant minds to argue opposite sides of one of the most controversial topics in real estate! What happens when you take a commonly held belief in the industry and get two brilliant minds to defend positions they might not even believe? Welcome to EDGE CASE – where we test assumptions and expose what people REALLY think. TODAY'S BIG QUESTION: "Do star agents deserve special treatment, even if it ruffles feathers?" THE TWIST: They flipped a coin to decide who would argue which side. One of them is arguing AGAINST their actual beliefs. You won't know who until the "truth reveal" at 45:00. IN THIS ROUND Dom "The Dominator" Thurbon – World top 10 debater, sold his company to EY, PM One Conference MC. Fiona Blayney – 30-year industry veteran who's pretty much seen it all, creator of PM One Conference. WHY EDGE CASE EXISTS: We're here to challenge traditional thinking in an era of disruption and change. Each Edge Case episode takes a controversial statement that the industry whispers about but never properly debates. We convince brilliant minds to argue BOTH sides – expanding how we all think about the biggest challenges facing property. This is intellectual combat designed to make the entire industry smarter. THE FORMAT:  Round 1: Opening arguments Round 2: Cross-examination Round 3: Evidence bombs Round 4: Direct confrontation Round 5: Rebuttals Round 6: TRUTH REVEAL (they drop the act)  VOTE: Should YOUR million-dollar agents get million-dollar treatment?
