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
