2024 had everything—AI hype, the NAR settlement, the Olympics and a presidential election, plus more brokerage announcement videos than anyone asked for. But if there’s one thing that kept agents sane, it was memes. (You’re welcome.)

Let’s take a scroll down memory lane and relive the chaos, one hilarious post at a time.

May 2024

ChatGPT nailed it. 

June 2024
