Brian Gass is a real estate agent and Designated Broker of ONE Real Estate Inc. After years of working directly with buyers, sellers, and builders, he saw how housing affordability was slipping out of reach for average households-not because people stopped working hard, but because the system governing housing had quietly changed. In response, he founded the Real Housing Reform Initiative, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on reexamining how housing is planned, priced, and regulated. Through research, policy analysis, and practical reform models, the organization works to restore housing affordability by expanding choice, aligning costs with incomes, and reconnecting housing policy to real-world outcomes.
