Could a career in retail actually be the perfect launchpad for a thriving career in real estate? It might sound surprising, but the skills you build in retail, like reading people, earning trust quickly, and delivering top-tier customer service, are exactly what you need to succeed in real estate, especially at the luxury level. Too often, we assume that switching industries means starting over. But what if your background is your competitive advantage? Renee Jadan’s journey proves just that. Before becoming a certified luxury real estate agent, she spent years in retail, where she mastered...

A lot of interesting things are happening in real estate right now. The more agents are aware of the market forces shaping today’s landscape, the better equipped they are to adapt, and thrive. One big issue is the clear corporation debate. On one side, luxury agents are keeping listings private, relying on off-market deals and exclusive networks to serve high-end clients. On the other hand, traditional agents are fighting to maintain transparency and access through the MLS, for buyers and sellers who actually need it.  At the same time, a different kind of rift is unfolding: Sellers are...

Real Producers

Too many real estate pros settle for “good enough,” believing the next level, more listings, higher commissions, true freedom, is out of reach.  The truth is: real estate success doesn’t come from luck, it comes from clarity, confidence, and the courage to ask for what you want. Top producers aren’t just winging it. They’re intentional. They ask bold questions. They go after mentorship. They’re clear on where they’re headed and who can help them get there. You can get what you want in this business, but it starts with asking the right questions and being specific about what...

Real Producers

Most people dream of breaking into luxury real estate, imagining a glamorous life of lavish parties, jaw-dropping listings, and red-carpet moments.  They see the glossy Instagram photos, the million-dollar deals, and the VIP lifestyle. But what they don’t see is the grit, sacrifice, and relentless hustle behind the scenes. The truth is, success in luxury real estate isn’t just about "looking the part", it’s about building the skills, relationships, and experiences that get you in the right rooms. And yes, sometimes that means “faking it till you make it”, but in the right...

Risk Is the Ultimate Shortcut to Real Estate Growth w/ Sam Stone | Episode 109 show art Risk Is the Ultimate Shortcut to Real Estate Growth w/ Sam Stone | Episode 109

Real Producers

In real estate, success often feels like it's just out of reach. We see others climbing to new heights, owning multiple properties, building vast networks, and achieving financial freedom, but rarely do we hear about the risks they took to get there.  The truth is, we all want success without understanding the sacrifices and risks successful people face. It's easy to envy their achievements without recognizing the challenges that come with the journey. But here's the reality: without risks, you won't learn. Growth in real estate (and life, for that matter) is all about stepping outside of...

Real Producers

On this podcast, we’ve seen many traits and habits that lead to real estate success.  Of course, drive, discipline, and sales mastery are necessary if you want to build an awesome business and legacy.  But the exceptional agents we feature on this show have another thing in common.  Their ability to withstand temporary pain in the pursuit of long-term growth.  That pain takes on many forms: being vulnerable about where your business is bleeding.  Receiving and applying feedback. Not focusing on flashy accolades like GCI and rather prioritizing net profit.  Using...

Success in real estate—or any sales-driven business—isn’t just about chasing leads. It’s about cultivating real relationships and intentionally putting yourself in the right rooms.

In some jobs, being authentic and outspoken on social media can get you fired. But in real estate, that authenticity could be the thing that separates you from cookie cutter agents and gets you hired by buyers and sellers.  That was Ryan Cecil’s experience. After getting fired for her social media content, she found that real estate agents who show their personality attract more clients.  Her online marketing and community-building efforts have created a highly successful real estate trajectory, going from $5 million in sales to $16.8 million in just a few years.  Ryan’s...

Real Producers

In real estate, many agents who decide to build teams are focused on what the team will do for them. It’s often about using leverage for the team leader to achieve what they personally want.  Maybe that’s why the industry has so many problems around perception and professionalism.  What would happen if a leader built around the concept of how they impact others and focused on the “why” of their people? You get a solid culture, a ton of production, and an environment they’ll never want to leave.  That’s what Erin Krueger built in Nashville. Her team is built so well...

Real Producers

Most businesses and entrepreneurs are laser focused on building brands that appeal to the consumer. They spend a ton of money on getting Instagram followers and going viral, but to no avail.  What they don’t realize is that there’s a better (and less expensive) way to get in front of the consumer - and that’s through real estate agents.  One relationship with a top producing agent in your city could be worth millions. Instead of trying to win consumers one-for-one, the right agent could lead you to their database of thousands of clients and customers.  Industries like...

A lot of interesting things are happening in real estate right now. The more agents are aware of the market forces shaping today’s landscape, the better equipped they are to adapt, and thrive.

One big issue is the clear corporation debate. On one side, luxury agents are keeping listings private, relying on off-market deals and exclusive networks to serve high-end clients.

On the other hand, traditional agents are fighting to maintain transparency and access through the MLS, for buyers and sellers who actually need it. 

At the same time, a different kind of rift is unfolding: Sellers are still chasing yesterday’s price tags, and buyers are hitting the ceiling of what they can afford.

Inventory is rising. Affordability is collapsing. And agents are stuck in the middle, navigating a market full of contradictions.

Few people are better equipped to talk about these tensions than Jenny Wemert.

She’s the leader of Orlando’s #1 real estate team, managing 58 full-time agents and overseeing $400 million in annual volume. She hasn’t personally sold a home in over a decade, but don’t mistake that for being out of touch. 

As the team’s “mom, therapist, and firefighter,” Jenny is deeply embedded in the day-to-day challenges real agents face, and the strategic decisions that keep them growing, even in tough markets.

In this episode, she breaks down the Clear Cooperation controversy, the challenges of the affordability crisis, and how strong leadership can help agents weather industry-wide shifts with integrity and clarity.

 

To the average consumer, most sellers want the most money and to sell in the least amount of time. To be able to do that, maximum exposure matters. -Jenny Wemert

 

Things You’ll Learn In This Episode:

  • The real story behind “clear cooperation”
    Is the MLS still the best tool for consumers, or are luxury agents right to fight for off-market deals?

  • When it’s time to step out of production
    How did Jenny know it was time to stop selling, and how did she build a team that could run without her?

  • Why most teams struggle with retention
    What’s the secret to keeping your agents for 10+ years, and why do most team leaders get it wrong?

  • What Airbnb’s decline means for the housing market
    Is the short-term rental gold rush over, and what does that mean for investors in places like Florida?
