From Burnout to Brokerage: How Jennifer Henry is Changing Real Estate in Northeast Florida

From Burnout to Brokerage: How Jennifer Henry is Changing Real Estate in Northeast Florida

If you're a new agent in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, or St. Johns County, and you don't know Jennifer Henry yet—you should. She's not just the broker/owner of Game Changer Realty. She's one of the most insightful, transparent, and effective coaches in Northeast Florida real estate.

This article uses insights from the full episode transcript at tracyhayespodcast.com/91.

Jennifer's story isn't about a straight line to success. It's about falling out of the business completely and clawing her way back with clarity, purpose, and a system to support others. Born a missionary kid and raised in a military family, she learned adaptability early. But even that couldn't prepare her for the early chaos of real estate. "I had no support system. I also did not have leadership and training and coaching. I didn’t have that, so I didn’t have anyone telling me I could do it."

After a failed start and a $12/hour admin job, Jennifer saw what agents with support could really earn. That was her pivot point. She rebuilt her life, got remarried, and launched a coaching-centered brokerage designed to help agents find alignment and thrive.

"If you want an easy button, the way you find an easy button is you do it your way. You still have to show up, but your way—that’s your easy button."

"Only 3% of agents sell more than 24 homes a year. The rest aren’t building a sustainable life. We help them change that."

"You're not competing with other agents. You’re competing with yourself. Your business grows to the extent that you do."

Jennifer doesn't believe in cookie-cutter coaching. Every new Game Changer agent completes a DISC and StrengthsFinder assessment. Then they create a custom lead generation plan and a graphic resume designed to attract ideal clients. It's personal development with tactical application—and it works.

What Jennifer Brings to Jacksonville Agents
