Podcasts about living room realty

In a few weeks, I'll be in Portland, Oregon, for Shawn Busse's always terrific Catalyst event. That trip has had me thinking about the city's keep-it-weird ethos, the spirit that's made Portland a hotbed for creative business building. My upcoming trip has also inspired me to revisit a podcast conversation Shawn and I recorded in early 2024 with Jenelle Etzel, who is founder of Living Room Realty. The boutique real estate agency has more than a hundred brokers and a reputation for doing things differently, but Jenelle didn't set out to be a business owner. In fact, she majored in weaving (Shawn, for the record, majored in ceramics). She fronted a punk rock band. She lived out of a van. And yet, those experiences—especially learning how to manage people who didn't technically have to listen to her and how to serve customers who'd been ignored by the mainstream—turned out to be perfect preparation for building a thriving business in a quirky city. It's a story that says something about Portland, but even more about the unconventional paths that can lead to successful entrepreneurship.

This week, in episode 192, special guest Jenelle Etzel, who majored in weaving, tells Shawn Busse, who majored in ceramics, why she believes attending art school and managing a punk rock band were perfect preparation for building a thriving real estate business. Her agency, Living Room Realty, has 130 brokers, roughly $5 million in revenue, and a market position that stands out among the big boys. While she once considered business a dirty word, she has embraced entrepreneurship and learned lots of important lessons, mostly through trial and error. For one, she figured out that there was a segment of the housing market—or the potential housing market—that more traditional brokers were ignoring. She also figured out, somewhat counterintuitively, that her real customers aren't the people who buy and sell homes. Her real customers, she says, are her brokers, who happen to be independent contractors: “I can't tell anybody what to do,” Jenelle tells us. “So it's like being a politician, in a way. I've got a lot of responsibility with very little authority, and that's an interesting leadership challenge.”

We can all agree that the real estate market was pretty bad last year. Case in point, pending sales in the Portland metro area were down 50% year-over-year in November 2022. But things are starting to pick up as we move into 2023. And we can either complain about the challenges OR step into 2023 with a positive attitude. Because if you ask Dill Ward, energy begets energy, and the agents who show up with joy will build momentum. In other words, the market is between your ears. Dill is Principal Broker at The Dill Ward Group of Living Room Realty. She has 14 years of experience as an agent and investor in Florida and Oregon. On this episode of The Portland Real Estate Podcast, Dill joins hosts Joe Fustolo and Steve Nassar to explain how she leveraged networking to restart her career in a new state and share her proactive approach to navigating the current market. Dill, Joe and Steve explore why the Portland real estate market picked up in January, discussing the attrition rate among loan officers in Oregon and what they expect the REALTOR numbers to be when they come out next month. Listen in for insight around the rule against text on images in RMLS and get Dill's advice on stepping into 2023 with energy and ‘finding the humans who need to move' regardless of what's happening in the market.

What does being lead singer and guitar player in a female punk band have in common with starting a real estate company in the middle of a recession? Not many people can answer that question. But when you ask Jenelle Isaacson, founder and CEO of Living Room Realty, there’s no hesitation; where most would see a chasm, she sees a bridge. For Jenelle, it’s all been about finding a voice—the singular and irrepressible expression of self. Once a quiet, studious, high-school girl growing up in Portland, Jenelle started a punk band after college. She played guitar, wrote cathartic songs, performed, and traveled across country while living out of a van. All that seems light years from the present moment–owning a successful, growing company; serving on boards of civic and philanthropic organizations; enjoying family life with her two young daughters and long-time partner. Still, she uses the same voice now that began to emerge on stage years ago. Whether it’s business or music, “It’s important to know what your voice is. If it’s true, it will resonate.” Jenelle’s voice, her truth, is about being brave enough to take action without apology, being heard without being exploited, to be energized, constantly problem-solving and refining her skills in the pursuit of building a purpose-driven company. All this requires risk-taking. She’s learned the hard way that she can’t fix everything and that not everyone will share her vision. But even as she explains the difficult choices she’s faced, Jenelle radiates joy. “It’s never okay to play small,” she says with conviction. And this, more than anything, is what she strives to impart to other women, empowering them to pursue their passion whole-heartedly and to be leaders who speak with their own unique, unapologetic voice. Living Room Realty, founded in 2009, offers residential, commercial, and property management services. Living Room ranks in the top 15 real estate companies in Oregon, with more than 130 affiliated broker-agents. For more information, visit www.livingroomre.com.

As a kid, Jenelle Isaacson wanted to be a Punk Rock Nun when she grew up. Part of her wish came true as the lead singer of punk rock band Spread Eagle which naturally led her into being a real estate agent + starting Living Room Realty.
