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 We explore how outdated training systems, rigid office culture, lack of mentorship, and old-school leadership are disconnecting with a new generation of agents who value flexibility,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.
