A Top 5% Globally Ranked Real Estate Agent Podcast for Top Performing Realtors of Faith Who Want Proven Systems to Sell More Homes and Make More Money Without Burnout or Sacrificing Their Family.


Do you feel forced to choose between building a successful real estate business and being fully present in the areas of life that matter most? Are you a high-performing Christian realtor feeling worn down by the real estate grind—trying to follow God while the industry pushes hustle at all costs? Does your business look great on paper, but your work-life balance and peace at home feel off?


I’m so glad you’re here.


The Faithful Agent is a podcast for real estate agents who want to grow a successful business without burning out or losing what matters most. This show helps you build real estate systems and structure that put you back in control of your time—so you can grow your income, stay present at home, and experience real peace in business.


Inside the podcast, you’ll learn how to:

  • Build systems and leverage that help you sell more homes without working more hours
  • Create predictable income for realtors so financial pressure doesn’t follow you home
  • Replace burnout and the real estate grind with intentional, faith-driven business growth


The goal isn’t just becoming a more successful realtor.

It’s building a business and schedule you actually enjoy now—not someday—one that lets you win at work without losing what matters most.


Hey, I’m Garrett—husband, dad of five, and high-producing real estate agent.

For years, I chased the industry’s definition of success—more deals, more money, more recognition—while quietly missing family dinners and date nights. I was productive, but I was becoming a burned-out realtor, and my faith and peace were taking a back seat.


I realized that if I wanted real freedom in this business, I couldn’t just work harder—I needed a solid framework, better structure, and smarter real estate systems.


So I built a plan that honored my faith and my family, not just my production goals. A few simple, intentional strategies allowed me to grow my business, sell a high volume of homes, and still be present at the dinner table every night.

Now, through realtor coaching and this podcast, I help other real estate agents do the same.


If you’re ready to build structure that honors God—so your business can grow while your family still gets the best of you—you’re in the right place.


So grab your coffee, dust off that Bible, and let’s dive in.

In this episode, we'll give you the exact conversations, questions, and mindset shifts we're using to help buyers move forward with confidence—without pressuring them into a decision. You'll learn the questions we ask, the stories we tell, and the mindset shifts that are helping families move forward with confidence.Instead of trying to convince people to buy, Cole and I help clients think through the decision for themselves. From "trading houses instead of mortgages" to the power of getting in the game with an "okay house," this episode is full of practical dialogue you can immediately use with your buyers.If you've been wondering what to say when clients tell you they're waiting for rates to come down, this episode gives you a framework that is both logical and compassionate.If you're struggling to motivate clients in this tough market, listen to this episode! I hope it helps. As always, reach out if you have questions or need help.Key TakeawaysReframe the move as a "trade," not a loss. Homeowners aren't giving up their 2.5% rate — they're trading their current house for their next season of life. Language matters.Diagnose emotional vs. rational readiness. Most buyers who hesitate already want to move emotionally; they just need help solving the math. Ask intentional questions to find out which kind of help they actually need.Use the equity-split strategy. When a homeowner sells, consider splitting the proceeds between the 20% down payment and a rate buy-down to make the new payment work."Today is the least expensive it will ever be." Waiting rarely saves money once inflation and rising prices are factored in — even a modest price increase a year from now can outweigh today's higher rate.Ask: "Have you ever wanted to be a landlord?" Most people say no — a simple gut-check question that reframes the rent-it-out temptation for departing homeowners.Remember the capital gains hit. Turning a primary residence into a rental changes its tax treatment; walk clients through that before they assume renting is the easy default.For first-time buyers, run the real numbers. A slightly higher-priced home at a lower rate can cost nearly the same — sometimes less — than a lower-priced home at a higher rate. Show the math, don't just talk about it.The "okay house, good house, great house" framework. No one gets their forever home on the first purchase. Getting in the game with an okay house is what makes trading up to a good house, and eventually a great house, possible.Only 2% of people ever pay off a 30-year mortgage. Most buyers will move again — so help them stop waiting for a "forever home" on their first purchase.Homeowners build roughly 42x the net worth of renters over time, according to the data Garrett shares — a helpful, non-pushy stat for reframing the rent-vs-buy conversation.Try the "parents' first house" exercise. Ask clients to find a photo of their parents' first home versus their parents' most recent home — it resets unrealistic expectations about what a starter home should look like.Ask "What are you afraid of?" A simple, caring question that surfaces the real objection — whether it's financial, emotional, or something else — before it derails the deal later during due diligence.Tell your own story. Whether it's your first home purchase or your own recent move-up decision, personal storytelling builds trust faster than statistics alone.Need help winning at work without losing at life?

    304 | Does Social Media Matter for Real Estate Agents? w/ Janet Brinck

In this roundtable episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon and Cole Ordiway sit down again with Janet Brinck to wrestle honestly with one of the most debated topics in the real estate industry today.The conversation dives into the real question every Christian real estate agent eventually asks: do I need to be on social media to grow my business, or can referral-based real estate and database nurturing carry me instead?Garrett, a self-described "100% referral guy" who sold 50 homes in a single year without a website or social presence, pushes back hard against the idea that video and virality are required for real estate lead generation. Janet, who went all-in on social media branding in 2023 and saw an immediate shift in brand recognition and trust, argues the opposite: that in today's market, if you don't have a presence, you don't exist. The two work through the tension between authentic reach and vanity metrics, why "1,500 views" doesn't mean 1,500 potential clients, and how the psychology of authority bias makes a polished video more persuasive than most agents realize.This episode is especially valuable for the "average agent" — the realtor who isn't a natural storyteller, doesn't want to be on camera, and feels behind because everyone else seems to be going viral. Garrett and Janet offer a refreshingly practical framework: pick one platform, go deep instead of wide, and understand that social media is often less about generating new clients and more about reinforcing the brand of an agent already known in their community.The conversation also gets real about the mental and spiritual cost of content creation — the temptation to covet other agents' success, the exhaustion of being "always on," and the biblical call for believers to look different online than the world does. Garrett doesn't hold back on what frustrates him most: agents taking credit for videography they didn't shoot, and Christian agents posting content that doesn't honor the Lord in how they dress or present themselves.Key TakeawaysSocial media isn't required to build a successful real estate business. Garrett sold 50 homes in his second year with no website and no social presence — referral and database systems still work.90% of social media users are lurkers. Only a small fraction ever comment or engage, but views and reach still build brand awareness even among people who never interact.New agents don't need to start with social media. Building a database of 200+ names and mastering referral relationships creates a more reliable foundation than chasing virality.If you're going to do social media, go deep on one platform rather than spreading thin across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube at a mediocre level.Social media functions more as a "database touch" than a lead-gen tool for many agents — it reinforces trust and awareness among people who already know them, rather than generating cold, new business.Authority bias is real. People psychologically trust polished, confident, professional-looking content — which is why sellers increasingly expect agents to market listings with high-quality video.Consistency beats virality. Most "overnight success" content is really someone's 125th–617th post — recognition compounds slowly, not instantly.Time budgeting is the real danger, not the platform itself. Agents who can't manage their time well often lose hours to social media without productive output.Christian agents are called to look different online — in how they dress, what they post, and how they handle the temptation to covet other agents' success or chase follower counts as ego rather than ministry or business purpose.Excellence matters more than presence. If content creation isn't your strength and it will pull focus from what you do well, it may be wiser to skip it — but if you commit to it, commit to doing it with excellence, "because that is the Lord's standard."One Practical Step for AgentsPick one platform and go all-in rather than trying to maintain five channels poorly (e.g., Facebook groups only, or TikTok only).----------real estate lead generation, social media for realtors, referral-based real estate, database marketing for agents, Christian real estate agent content strategy, authority bias in real estate marketing, faith-based realtor mindset, biblical business principles, real estate ...

  • 303 | Time Management Tips You Haven't Heard Before: The HEART Method for a Sustainable Real Estate Business w/ Anna Dearmon Kornick

    303 | Time Management Tips You Haven't Heard Before: The HEART Method for a Sustainable Real Estate Business w/ Anna Dearmon Kornick
    2026/08/20
    "Work expands to fill the time available." That's Parkinson's Law, and it's the reason most real estate agents can't protect a single hour on their calendar — not their quiet time, not date night, not even a three-hour mastermind. In this episode, national time management coach Anna Dearmon Kornick breaks down why your calendar isn't the problem, your clarity is.Anna walks Garrett, Cole, and the listener through a simple exercise: imagine standing a year from now, fully proud of what you've built — then work backward to identify what had to be true to get there. That vision, paired with a short list of personal core values, becomes a filter for every time-management decision an agent makes going forward. Garrett connects this directly to his own coaching philosophy around defining a personal scoreboard for success before choosing a lead-generation strategy or building a team — a theme that runs throughout his work with faith-based realtors and Christian entrepreneurs building referral-based real estate businesses.From there, Anna unpacks her signature HEART method — a four-phase system she teaches inside the It's About Time Academy:Navigator — learning to navigate overwhelm using your own personality as a compass, since time management strategies that work for one person's wiring can fail completely for another's.Visionary — getting concrete about your vision and core values, then using both as a filter for daily priorities.Designer — building five essential routines (morning, evening, workday startup, workday shutdown, and weekly planning) that anchor a "best week ever," including a practical breakdown of what a workday shutdown routine should actually accomplish (process, preview, prepare) so your brain can close the day's open loops instead of carrying them home.Pacesetter — using the HEART framework itself (Habits, Energy, Attention, Recharge, Time) as an ongoing diagnostic toolbox whenever friction shows up in your week.Anna also shares her own story — from scheduling a U.S. congressman on Capitol Hill, to a decade in 24/7 crisis communications, to being written up for tardiness 17 times in a single quarter — and how that season taught her that chronic lateness wasn't a discipline problem, it was a symptom of living out of alignment with her values and vision. That personal turning point is what led her to build the HEART method and the It's About Time Academy.The conversation lands on a theme that will resonate with any real estate agent trying to build sustainable habits: recharge isn't optional. Sleep, hobbies, and unstructured fun aren't indulgences — they're what keeps an agent in the business long enough to build something that lasts. Garrett and Cole talk candidly about their own struggles protecting time for rest, and Anna reframes time management not as a race to be won, but as an ongoing practice — more like yoga than a finish line.Key TakeawaysParkinson's Law is why agents burn out. Work expands to fill the time available — if you don't decide in advance how much lead generation, reach-outs, or work is "enough," you'll throw yourself into it indefinitely with no finish line.Time management is a decision-making problem, not a scheduling problem. Every choice about how you spend your time is really a question: does this move me toward my vision and values, or away from them?Clarity comes before tools. Buying a new planner, app, or habit tracker won't fix time management — sitting still and getting clear on your vision and values will.There is no one-size-fits-all time management system. Most time management books reflect the personality of the person who wrote them — understanding your own wiring (the "Navigator" phase) is the shortcut to finding what actually works for you.Five routines anchor a sustainable week: morning, evening, workday startup, workday shutdown, and weekly planning.A workday shutdown routine has three steps: process what happened today, preview tomorrow's calendar, and prepare one small thing for success — then pair it with a physical cue (closing a laptop, changing clothes, even tapping a tree) to signal to your brain that work mode is over.Deadlines aren't the enemy — they're the tool. A short amount of time forces tough decisions about what stays and what goes; putting a limit on your work keeps it from expanding into every part of your day.Recharge is not optional. Adults need 7–9 hours of sleep, and hobbies or unstructured fun aren't indulgent — they're what makes long-term sustainability in real estate possible.The HEART framework is a diagnostic toolbox: Habits, Energy, Attention, Recharge, Time — when something in your week feels off, ask which of these five needs attention.Time management is a practice, not a finish line. Like yoga, it's something you show up to and adjust daily — not a system you master once and set on autopilot.One Practical StepBefore you open your inbox tomorrow morning, open your calendar first. ...
