Gen Z doesnโt see estate agency as a careerโthey see it as a stopgap, a stepping stone
Why?
Because weโre not giving these Gen z'ers a reason to stay.
No clear progression.
No structure beyond hit the KPIs
No vision beyond โbums on seats.โ
Hereโs the harsh broooootal truth:
We canโt expect this generation to be committed if weโre not investing in their future. It was different for you, you just wanted ยฃยฃยฃยฃ, a company car and a fancy title, you Gen X'er
Gen Z'ers want more than just a job; they want a career with purpose, growth, and leadership.
๐จ Where we as estate Agency bosses are going wrong:
1๏ธโฃ Throwing them into unstructured environments and hoping they โfigure it out.โ
2๏ธโฃ Assuming theyโre not interested in development, when in reality, they crave mentorship and clear paths to success.
3๏ธโฃ Failing to create a workplace in your estate agency where they feel challenged, valued, and part of something bigger than a salary line on their bank statement.
๐ก Fix it or fail EA bosses
Gen Z thrives on:
โ๏ธ Structure and clarityโtell them exactly how they can progress.
โ๏ธ Meaningful workโshow them how estate agency can change lives, not just move houses.
โ๏ธ Empowermentโcreate a partnership, not a hierarchy.
Final thought: If your Gen Z staff see estate agency as a temporary gig, the problem isnโt them. Itโs YOU.
