“So Happy Gen Z Has Entered the Work Force”: Young Realtor’s Speed Tours Are Hilariously Effective
"Gen Z realtors are changing the game."

South Park brutally eviscerates anything and everything — it's probably why the series has been so successful for so long because Trey Parker and Matt Stone are equal opportunity satirists. And while there are lot of folks who definitely get offended by the show's approach to ridiculing everything it touches, even those who work in real estate will have to admit that there's a little bit of truth to the series' excellent roasting of realtors.
And while realtor Trent Miller doesn't get as irreverent as the longtime Comedy Central show does in his clips, he doesn't seem to take himself so seriously. And with the way he injects his own personality and fun into his TikTok marketing videos, it's hard to imagine he's doing a detriment to his real estate business.
The TikToker/realtor (@trent_miller_) has created a patented "speed tour" of homes that sees him zipping through houses, showing off all of their function and seemingly saying what sounds like unfiltered thoughts when running through the homes, largely to comedic effect.
Like this example below, which he starts while laying down on the stairwell, his legs darting up into the air.
"This is what $12,000 is gonna get you in Hagerstown, Maryland. This is Speed Tours; let's take a look. First we see the office space," he says, showing off a portion of the home to the left of the front door. He then immediately darts through a hallway — "and in here we see a beautiful closet" — he states, opening the closet door without breaking his stride.
The cameraman then walks into a bathroom that Trent appears to have disappeared inside of ... but when the lens whips around, it's revealed that he's standing flush against the wall like Solid Snake. After he's spotted he then gets out of the area.
"And in here we got — guys, this is a family room," he says, showing off the space, before continuing, "My family left me when I was 3." He then ventures into another area of the home, which he doesn't have a title for ("I don't know what this room is but..." he says), then books it out of the area to the back deck.
He pumps his feet, running in circles. "There's a beautiful deck, not as beautiful as me," he says before heading back into the house. "Back inside — speed tour!" he shouts, going through a kitchen and cracks open a door. "Here's a pantry for my belt busters ... this is a mudroom with spots to hang your coats," he says, walking through the area and into yet another door, revealing the garage.
He shuts the door behind him, forcing the camera operative to follow him in. Yet again, he can't be seen in the area, but when the lens finally finds him, Trent shouts "THIS IS A GARAGE" before proceeding with the rest of the tour.
"Back inside, past the mudroom, this is a kitchen, beautiful kitchen," he states, jogging through the home. "Right here's where you put your dining room table and up the stairs we go, SPEED TOUR! SPEED TOUR!" he screams again.
"Bedroom number one, in here," he says, then goes into a closet, puts his hands on his knees, and begins panting heavily, once, twice, three times, before snapping back into sales mode: "This is a walk-in closet, right here we see a—" he then adjusts his back and pops his hips toward the window "—beautiful view of the neighbors."
"Out we go, bedroom number two, beautiful view, take a look," he tells the cam op, who points the lens outside the windows of the house's second bedroom, showing the neighborhood. The lens goes back on Trent, who is leaning over and peering as well; he grunts before running on with the rest of the tour.
"Out we go, right here we see a walk-in closet, perfect closet for your wife, you know you won't get any space, in here, two person shower, DM me. Double vanity here, right there's another closet, take a look," he tells the cam op, who whips the camera into the space and then heads into another bathroom — Trent is sitting on the toilet AC Slater–style, his elbows resting on top of the bowl.
He grunts before hopping up and continuing to run throughout the home, "Out we go that's a toilet ... out we go that's bedroom number two," he repeats as he passes by the area again. "Moving on, there's your number three, that's a walk-in closet, show them," he says. The cam op looks into the closet, and when they turn around, Trent is lying on the ground.
"There's another beautiful view out there," he says after jumping up and continuing throughout the home. "Washer/dryer, a closet, double sink vanity, that's a toilet, that's a shower. Out we go, last bedroom, another view of your neighbors, right here's the closet. If you guys wanna buy this house, you DM me!" he screams toward the camera.
And if you're wondering if Trent said that the home is actually $12,000, that's not the entire price of the house, but as someone pointed out, just the down payment for the place.
