Welcome to the Joy Punk Podcast!

By Jenelle Etzel, April 28, 2023

Welcome fellow Joy Punks! In her new podcast, CEO and Founder, Jenelle Etzel says “Hi” and introduces herself and her story. She explains the “why” and “how” behind the Joy Punk Podcast and what she hopes to do with the show, shedding light on future episodes and guests.

She shares how she got her “Punk Rock MBA” and threw out society’s “homeowner checklist,” showing her a path to homeownership—something she had never experienced in her lifetime—that looked totally different than the straight, white, married couple with a kid that covered all the real estate advertisements in the 2000’s.

As a real estate agent, she discovered the blind spots of the Portland real estate market in relation to her own home buying journey, were systemic. With her punk rock background and determination that homeownership should be within reach of anyone one, she created a real estate agency unlike any Portland had ever seen before.

Find out how Living Room Realty got its name, and how centering our agents and their clients in our business has helped drive us to be Portland’s #1 independent brokerage.

Then join Jenelle as she interviews other joy punks in our community who show how “Their success is a direct correlation of bringing their whole selves, their passion, and their joy to their business, how radical this is and the success in following it attracts.”
