#RealEstatePodcast, #HousingMarketShift, #RealtorLife, #AgentBurnout, #RealEstateTrends, #MarketUpdate, #BrokerLife, #RealEstateBusiness, #HousingInsights, Where did all the real estate agents go? In this episode of Coffee with Real Estate, Susan and Kurt break down one of the biggest shifts happening in today’s housing market—the quiet (and not-so-quiet) exit of agents struggling to survive a slower, more complex environment.

After years of red-hot demand, low interest rates, and easy deals, the market has evolved. Inventory is rising, buyers are becoming more selective, and transactions are harder to close. The result? Many newer agents—and even some experienced ones—are reaching a breaking point. From failed brokerages to agents returning to corporate jobs, we dive into what’s really happening behind the scenes.

Susan shares the top mistakes agents make when entering the business, including unrealistic expectations, overspending, and lack of long-term planning. The conversation also highlights how seasoned professionals are regaining control of the market—and why experience matters more than ever.

Plus, the episode takes a sharp turn into a fascinating cultural shift: Are “tiger moms” out and “beta moms” in? What does that mean for parenting today?

If you’re in real estate—or thinking about it—this is a must-listen reality check.
