Gen Z Real Estate Agents And How to Not Let Them Down

They join the brokerage, complete the onboarding, attend the meetings, and start prospecting. But before long, many younger agents are already looking for a way out.

In this episode, Brooke Massey, Curtis Haddock, and Casey Tuter go over why traditional real estate brokerages are struggling to retain Gen Z talent in today’s evolving market. We explore how outdated training systems, rigid office culture, lack of mentorship, and old-school leadership are disconnecting with a new generation of agents who value flexibility, branding, collaboration, and personal growth.
