The Founder Story Behind Unlisted: From Neighborhood Curiosity to National Platform

The Founder Story Behind Unlisted: From Neighborhood Curiosity to National Platform

Reuters19-06-2025
DAYTON, OH, June 19, 2025 (EZ Newswire) -- Unlisted, opens new tab, the real estate platform focused exclusively on homes not currently for sale, was born from a familiar moment. Founder and CEO, Katie Hill, walked past a home and thought, 'I love that house; I wonder if it could be mine someday?' Unlike most, she acted on that curiosity — and Unlisted was the result.
Unlisted's origin story began with a friendly conversation. Hill approached her neighbor who owned the house she admired and expressed her interest. The owner wasn't selling right then but was flattered, intrigued, and open to future conversations as he was planning for his retirement in the coming few years. Hill asked for a right of first refusal whenever the neighbor was ready to sell and he agreed.
That moment of neighborhood curiosity inspired many questions in Hill's mind:
These questions became the blueprint for Unlisted, a growing platform built to unlock the hidden layer of the real estate market: homes that aren't actively for sale but might be — for the right offer, the right timeline, or the right terms.
Founded by Hill in 2022, Unlisted helps buyers express interest in any home, whether or not it's on the market, and gives homeowners a private, pressure-free way to collect interest and better understand the marketability of their property. Homeowners can 'claim' their home, control the way their property appears online, personalize its details and photos, and initiate conversations with buyers who join their Waitlist — all on their own timeline, and without committing to sell.
'We're not trying to push people to sell,' says Hill. 'We're giving them the option to see what's possible and make better-informed decisions.'
Unlisted works selectively with vetted real estate agents with proven track records, ensuring that when buyers and homeowners align on a transaction opportunity they have access to the local real estate resources they need.
'Unlisted's technology is far-reaching and creates more opportunities but it still maintains the local, human connection that is so important in real estate.' explains Jason Rowland, licensed real estate broker with the Rowland Group at Compass in Chicago and a selected partner with Unlisted. 'I have deep knowledge of my local market and serve as a trusted resource for both buyers and homeowners on Unlisted who are exploring their options in the neighborhood. It's the best of all worlds.'
Real estate requires that people make some of the most important decisions of their lives. Unlisted offers a new way to discover opportunities and information — helping both sides of the transaction achieve optimum outcomes.

ESPN reportedly selling equity stake for RedZone and other NFL properties

ESPN has reached a deal with the NFL to purchase RedZone, NFL Network and other league holdings, the Athletic reported on Friday. The NFL will receive equity in ESPN that 'is potentially worth billions' in exchange, according to the report. An official announcement is expected next week, ending a four-year period of complicated, on-and-off negotiations. Both sides declined to provide comment to the Athletic. In addition to RedZone and NFL Network, ESPN will gain access to seven more regular-season games and the NFL's fantasy football operations, as well as the potential to integrate sports betting and other special features. The NFL's equity stake in ESPN could be as much as 10%, CNBC first reported and the Athletic confirmed. An ESPN-NFL deal would require regulatory approval, a process that could take up to a year to complete. The two sides already have a cozy relationship. ESPN pays the NFL about $2.7bn per year to air a total of 25 games, including Monday Night Football. The network also holds the rights to the Super Bowls in 2027 and 2031. Friday's reported agreement comes as ESPN is preparing to launch its direct-to-consumer service, with subscribers paying $29.99 per month to bypass cable and satellite providers to view all of the network's programming through the ESPN app.

Trump news at a glance: ‘credibility' of US economics data at risk, say experts, as president fires labor dept official

After Donald Trump ordered the firing of a federal government official in charge of labor statistics, experts and opposition politicians have expressed alarm that the 'credibility' of US economic data was at risk. The US president claimed without evidence that Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of labor statistics, had 'rigged' job numbers 'in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad', after data showed jobs growth stalled this summer, prompting accusations that the president was 'firing the messenger'. Bill Beach, a former Heritage Foundation economist who was picked by Trump in 2018 to oversee labor statistics, denounced what he called the 'totally groundless firing'. 'Politicizing economic statistics is a self-defeating act,' said Michael Madowitz, the principal economist at the Roosevelt Institute's Roosevelt Forward, who added that 'credibility is far easier to lose than rebuild, and the credibility of America's economic data is the foundation on which we've built the strongest economy in the world'. Senate Democrat Ron Wyden said 'this is the act of somebody who is soft, weak and afraid to own up to the reality of the damage his chaos is inflicting on our economy'. The move came as markets around the world were roiled by Trump's latest tariff announcement, which left more than 60 countries scrambling to secure trade deals. Here are the key US politics stories of the day: Donald Trump ordered the firing of the federal government official in charge of labor statistics, hours after data revealed jobs growth stalled this summer, prompting accusations that he was 'firing the messenger'. The US president claimed that Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of labor statistics, had 'faked' employment figures in the run-up to last year's election in an effort to boost Kamala Harris's chances of victory. Trump later claimed: 'Today's Jobs Numbers were RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad.' He produced no evidence for these allegations and insisted that the US economy was, in fact, 'BOOMING' on his watch. Read the full story Donald Trump has said that he deployed nuclear-capable submarines to the 'appropriate regions' in response to a threatening tweet by Russia's former president Dmitry Medvedev, suggesting that he would be ready to launch a nuclear strike as tensions rise over the war in Ukraine. In a post on Truth Social on Friday, Trump wrote that he had decided to reposition the nuclear submarines because of 'highly provocative statements' by Medvedev, noting he was now the deputy chair of Russia's security council. Medvedev had earlier said that Trump's threats to sanction Russia and a recent ultimatum were 'a threat and a step towards war'. Read the full story Donald Trump unleashed global chaos with sweeping new tariff rates, triggering a wave of market jitters and fears for jobs in some of the poorest countries, as rates were signed off ranging from 10% to 50%. There was a minor reprieve that opened the door to further negotiations, after the White House said the updated tariffs would take effect on 7 August, not on Friday, the deadline previously set by Trump. Read the full story Donald Trump called on top Federal Reserve officials to seize control from its chair, Jerome Powell, if he fails to cut interest rates, stepping up his extraordinary attacks on the central bank's independence. The US president called Powell 'a stubborn MORON' in a series of critical social media posts on Friday, days after the Fed held rates steady for the fifth consecutive time. Read the full story Americans are struggling financially, grappling with debt and the rising cost of living, and are blaming the Trump administration and corporate interests for worsening economic outlooks for working families, according to a new poll. Read the full story A new Trump administration report that attempts to justify a mass rollback of environmental regulations is chock-full of climate misinformation, experts say. Read the full story The US economy added 73,000 jobs in July, far lower than expected, amid ongoing concerns over Donald Trump's escalating trade war. Poverty and hunger will rise as a result of the Trump administration's unprecedented cuts to the US federal 'food stamps' program, according to experts. Low-income workers who rely on the aid are braced for dire consequences. California's governor, Gavin Newsom, may call a special election in November to begin the process of redrawing the state's congressional maps in response to Texas's plans to change its own maps to help Republicans keep their majority in the House of Representatives. Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's associate who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex-trafficking crimes, has been transferred from a federal prison in Florida to a lower-security facility in Texas, the US Bureau of Prisons said on Friday. Kamala Harris has said she currently has no desire to re-enter 'the system' of American politics because it is 'broken'. Sixteen states are suing the Trump administration to defend transgender youth healthcare access, which has rapidly eroded across the US due to threats from the federal government. Catching up?

Ford CEO Says Its Newest EVs Are Ready for Its 'Model T Moment'

The Macan will return with gas power, only it won't be the Macan at all. Ford's 'Model T moment' is coming August 11, CEO says During Ford's second-quarter earnings call with investors on the evening of July 30, Ford CEO Jim Farley revealed that the automaker is set to reveal its new strategy centered around a new line of electric vehicles underpinned by a new platform. In his remarks, Farley said that the future plans would be a 'Model T moment,' referring to the 120-year-old model that was the world's first mass-produced, affordable car. He hinted at a transformative breakthrough that would help position Ford to sell a new line of electric cars aimed at competing against low-cost Chinese models from known names like BYD.

We will be in Kentucky to share more about our plans to design and build a breakthrough electric vehicle and a platform in the U.S.,' Farley said. 'This is a Model-T moment for us at Ford. A chance to bring a new family of vehicles to the world that offer incredible technology, efficiency, space, and features.'

Ford views the Chinese auto giants as its new competitors In the past, the Ford CEO admitted his admiration for his Chinese competition. Late last year, he revealed on a podcast appearance that he daily drove a Xiaomi SU7 that Ford used for benchmarking, adding that he was having a hard time giving it up. On the earnings call with Wall Street insiders, he acknowledged that Ford is falling behind its East Asian rivals, pegging them as their new competition to beat. Farley noted to the investors and Wall Street insiders listening in that the next EVs developed by its internal California-based 'Skunkworks division' are set to be released within 'the next year or two — starting,' adding that its strategy against its Chinese counterparts 'is to go and really push ourselves to radically reengineer and transform our engineering, supply chain and manufacturing process.' 'We really see, not the global (automakers) as our competitive set for our next generation of EVs, we see the Chinese. Companies like Geely, BYD,' Farley said. 'That's how we built our vehicle. How we've engineered what kind of supply chain we've used and the kind of low content in our manufacturing.'

Ford F-150 Lightning — Source: Getty Images Ford is banking on its supply chain, gas and electric car flexibility Despite this, Farley's announcement underscores that Ford has yet to make any money selling its electric vehicles. Its internal 'Model e' division, which is dedicated solely to EVs, has been hemorrhaging money for several quarters. During Q2 2025, Ford reported that the Model e division lost $1.3 billion, a worse quarter than the division's loss of $1.1 billion just a year earlier. Farley told the Wall Street analysts on July 30 that over the past three years, the automaker saw EV consumer demand and government regulations and support rapidly change, which pushed it to think carefully about its next moves. As part of its new EV strategy, Ford's CEO said it will offer EVs in select body styles in segments where it 'can actually make money on EVs.' Source: Getty Images Another part of that strategy is its investment in LFP, or lithium-iron-phosphate batteries —a cheaper, longer-lasting form of EV battery, particularly used in Chinese-market electric vehicles. Starting next year, it plans to build them at the BlueOval Battery Park in Marshall, Michigan, which he touts as 'a big advantage for the company.' But despite this, Ford feels that its investment in EVs is part of a larger lineup puzzle, which includes gas-powered cars like hybrids and extended range electric vehicles. 'We think that's a much better move than a $60,000 to $70,000 all-electric crossover,' Farley said. 'We think [offering a variety of powertrains] is really what customers are going to want long term, and we're investing a lot in more durable internal combustion engine powertrains.' FInal thoughts This development feels like a preview of the end result of something that Farley and his Blue Oval engineers have been working on since he and other Ford executives learned of the level of innovation that Chinese automakers were capable of. In a September 2024 profile written by Mike Colias and published by The Wall Street Journal, Farley was described less as a traditional businessman than as a hands-on executive obsessed with his competition. The piece centered around a trip to China in 2023, during which Farley and other Ford executives got the full picture of their Chinese competition. According to the Journal, Farley's fascination with Chinese automakers began when he and Ford CFO John Lawler test-drove an electric SUV made by Changan, Ford's joint venture partner in China. 'Jim, this is nothing like before,' Lawler said to Farley after the drive, per the Journal. 'These guys are ahead of us.' In light of the signing of the 'Big Beautiful Bill' and its provisions against EVs, Ford's EV announcement comes at an interesting time. Nonetheless, I wonder what kind of vehicle Farley will reveal in Kentucky come August 11. About the Author James Ochoa View Profile
