 What does it really take to thrive in real estate for nearly three decades through every market shift imaginable? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Clay County real estate icon Eden Jordan. With 27 years of experience, over 800 families served, and countless agents mentored, Eden shares a candid look at the grit, adaptability, and strategic thinking needed to not only survive but thrive in the industry’s constant cycles. From the early days of handwritten contracts to the rise of social media marketing, Eden’s story blends hard-earned wisdom with relatable humor. Listeners will hear Eden’s journey from Disney College Program graduate to top-producing Realtor, her creative grassroots networking in playgrounds and ballfields, and her no-nonsense take on market trends, government influence, and the “greed factor” in housing. She opens up about setbacks, including lawsuits and the 2008 crash, and reveals the key systems, relationships, and mindset shifts that keep her business strong year after year. If you’re an agent looking for longevity and growth in your business, take a page from Eden’s playbook—listen in, take notes, and start applying these timeless strategies today.
