Description

Economic Development in Action: From Strategy to Scalable Impact
Jennifer Warner, Director of Economic Development and Commercial for Florida REALTORS®
Discover how Florida REALTORS® is expanding into commercial research and economic development to help communities navigate rapid growth, shifting migration patterns, and evolving market dynamics. This session will explore how Florida REALTORS® is partnering with Economic Development Organizations (EDOs), commercial members, and local associations to better connect housing, business growth, workforce trends, and community planning.

Jennifer will share how Florida’s approach is rooted in recognizing the interconnected nature of residential and commercial real estate — from how employment growth drives housing demand to how retail and infrastructure follow population growth. Drawing from her “Through the Looking Glass: A Guide to Future Land Use” continuing education course, she will also discuss how REALTORS® can better understand local government processes, future land use planning, and development trends in ways that help members both serve clients and engage more effectively in conversations shaping their communities.

Attendees will gain insight into how REALTOR® organizations can position themselves as trusted voices in broader economic conversations, support local partners with actionable market intelligence, and create new opportunities for both commercial and residential members. As one of the first large-scale efforts of its kind within organized real estate, this session will also provide practical ideas and early lessons for associations looking to explore similar strategies in their own markets.
