You can be a successful agent on paper and still feel exhausted, scattered, and behind every single day. If you’re quietly battling real estate agent stress, feeling the weight of real estate agent exhaustion, or wondering how long you can keep running your business this way, this episode is for you. In this conversation on The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon sits down with veteran coach Jim Remley to unpack why so many agents burn out at the 10–20 deal level — and how building intentional real estate systems is the key to growing without sacrificing your family, your faith, or your mental health.

Many high-performing agents are quietly struggling with real estate agent stress, real estate agent exhaustion, and burnout they don’t know how to fix. Jim shares why this pattern isn’t caused by laziness or lack of talent — it’s caused by the absence of intentional real estate systems that bring structure, clarity, and accountability to your day.

Instead of working from clarity, most agents fall into chaos — reacting to emails, chasing deals, and letting their calendar control their life. Jim explains why real estate systems aren’t about cramping your style… they’re about creating freedom, leverage, and long-term sustainability. If you want to stop living in survival mode and start avoiding burnout in real estate, this conversation will reshape how you think about your schedule, your standards, and your stewardship.

Jim walks through his practical real estate systems and frameworks to help agents bring structure, accountability, and consistency into their daily routines.

You’ll also learn why accountability is the missing link for so many Christian agents dealing with real estate agent mental health struggles. From treating yourself like a $500,000 employee to measuring productivity through participation, Jim explains how to build habits that compound over time. If you want real estate systems that support work-life balance, faith-aligned success, and predictable growth, this conversation will challenge the way you think about your business.

This episode will help you rethink how to grow your business without real estate agent exhaustion or hustle culture guilt.

If you’re tired of reacting to your business instead of leading it, this episode will show you how to prevent real estate burnout using proven real estate systems that bring clarity, discipline, and freedom back into your life.

You’ll Learn:

• The Five Non-Negotiables for daily structure and clarity
• The 4-1-1-1 model for consistent lead generation
• Why most agents get stuck at 10–20 transactions a year
• How to reduce real estate agent stress and exhaustion

Burned-out agent—if that phrase hits a little too close to home, this episode is for you. In this conversation on The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon sits down with Rebecca Del Pozo—Millionaire Real Estate Mom Coach & Trainer and author of Stop Winging It: Don’t Accept Your Life, Lead It—to expose what’s really happening underneath the exhaustion so many agents normalize. Because burnout usually isn’t caused by one “crazy week.” It’s often the fruit of living in reaction mode: saying yes too fast, staying busy without being effective, and confusing hustle with faithfulness.

Rebecca shares the why behind her book and the John Maxwell quote that shaped it: most people accept their life—they don’t lead it. That idea becomes a mirror for the modern real estate professional. You can “wing it” and still get contracts signed. You can stay moving and still feel stuck. And you can build momentum in the marketplace while quietly becoming a burned-out agent at home—resentful, scattered, and always behind.

When you don’t trust God with the outcome, you start trying to force the process. That’s where ego, pride, and fear sneak in—especially for realtors of faith who genuinely want to honor the Lord but keep getting pulled toward shiny distractions, comparison, and reactive decisions. The result is the same: a calendar that owns you, a mind that won’t shut off, and a business that keeps feeding the real estate grind.

This episode gets extremely practical. Rebecca introduces the “not-to-do list”—a simple but powerful tool that reveals what drains you most and becomes a future job description (even if you can’t afford help yet). For the real estate agent who feels scattered, she offers a refreshing truth: the reset is often smaller than you think. Tiny acts of obedience—using a calendar consistently, showing up prepared, setting boundaries around social media, protecting your attention, and creating structure—can pull a burned-out agent back into clarity faster than another “big strategy” ever will.

They also confront one of the biggest time leaks in the industry: social media. Not because it’s wrong, but because many agents consume more than they create—and call it “work.” Rebecca shares how she sets timers, removes notifications, and builds parameters so her mind stays aligned with what actually matters. Garrett reinforces why this is so important: distraction isn’t neutral. It quietly drains your best energy and keeps you stuck in the real estate grind.

If you’re a burned-out agent who’s tired of winging it, tired of reacting, and tired of building a business that drains your home life, this episode will meet you with conviction and hope. You’ll walk away with practical steps to strengthen your realtor structure, build realtor systems, and create a faith driven business that’s sustainable—not frantic.

If you want to grow your real estate business without burning out, chasing every new tactic, or sacrificing your faith and family, this episode will completely reshape how you define success.

In this powerful conversation on The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon sits down with entrepreneur, podcaster, and business coach Stefanie Gass to unpack what it truly means to grow your real estate business through faith, obedience, and intentional leadership—not hustle culture. Stefanie shares her journey from a failed network marketing venture to building a thriving podcasting and coaching company by surrendering her ambition to God and redefining what “winning” really looks like.

Together, Garrett and Stefanie explore the tension between ambition and submission—why striving without alignment leads to burnout, and how entrepreneurs who build from obedience experience greater clarity, peace, and long-term fruit. They discuss why so many business owners struggle with overwork, distraction, and comparison, and how shifting your foundation can help you grow your real estate business in a way that’s sustainable, meaningful, and aligned with your calling.

This episode dives deep into why faith-driven leadership is not a liability in business—it’s a competitive advantage. Stefanie explains how podcasting and long-form content create trust, authority, and authentic relationships in ways that surface-level social media never can. If you’ve ever felt pressure to constantly post, perform, or “be everywhere,” this conversation will show you a better path forward.

Garrett and Stefanie also address the dangers of hustle culture in entrepreneurship, especially in real estate. They unpack how unsubmitted ambition often leads to overextension, blurred boundaries, and loss of focus—and how establishing systems, rhythms, and priorities rooted in biblical order protects both your productivity and your personal life. You’ll learn why boundaries aren’t limitations—they’re stewardship.

This episode is especially powerful for agents who feel successful on paper but restless in their spirit. If you’ve been asking whether there’s a way to scale without selling your soul, serve clients without losing your family, and build income without sacrificing obedience, you’ll find clarity here.

You’ll walk away with renewed perspective on what it means to build a business that honors God, serves people, and creates lasting impact beyond transactions.

If your goal is not just to close more deals—but to grow your real estate business with integrity, peace, and eternal purpose—this episode will give you the framework to do exactly that.

Successful realtor is often defined by numbers—homes sold, volume closed, rankings earned. But what if the version of success the industry celebrates is quietly costing agents their peace, their families, and their faith? From the opening moments of this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon invites listeners to rethink what it truly means to become a successful realtor in a way that honors God, protects relationships, and builds a sustainable life.

In this powerful conversation, Garrett interviews Taley Hunt, a high-producing real estate agent, successful realtor, team leader, and mom whose growth in one of the most intense markets in history was nothing short of extraordinary. Taley sold 28 homes in her first year, 86 the next, and 145 the year after that—while becoming a first-time mother in the middle of a chaotic market. On paper, she became a successful realtor at a pace few ever experience. But behind the scenes were exhaustion, anxiety, and a quiet question many agents are afraid to ask: What does this level of hustle actually cost?

Taley opens up about the hidden pressures of rapid growth, including burnout, fear of losing momentum, and the dangerous tendency to tie self-worth to production. For the real estate agent navigating the real estate grind, her story offers both inspiration and warning.

This episode speaks directly to the christian realtor building a faith driven business who wants more than surface-level success. Garrett and Taley unpack how hustle alone is not a long-term strategy, and why organic growth through relationships and community outperforms paid leads when done intentionally.

You’ll hear insight on:

• Why rapid success without boundaries leads to burnout—even for a successful realtor
• How many agents unknowingly tie identity to production
• Why relationships and community drive sustainable growth
• Why human connection will matter more—not less—as technology increases

Taley also shares how she transitioned from blind hustle to intentional ownership. She now helps moms in real estate build meaningful, scalable businesses without sacrificing faith or family. For realtors of faith, this episode is a reminder that defining success personally—rather than by industry benchmarks—is essential to long-term peace and purpose.

This conversation also reframes what it means to become a successful realtor through realtor systems and structure. Systems are not meant to extract more from you—they are meant to support what matters most. Garrett challenges agents to ask whether their growth model creates freedom or silently erodes the very life they are working so hard to build.

Time freedom is not a luxury in real estate—it is a calling. From the opening moments of this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon challenges one of the most celebrated lies in the industry: that doing more always means being more faithful, more successful, and more effective. In this powerful solo message, Garrett shares the true story of an agent who intentionally chose to sell 30 homes instead of 70—and how that single decision radically transformed her life, her family, and her business.

This episode is for the agent who is winning on paper but quietly losing at home. Garrett walks listeners through how hustle culture baptizes burnout, ties identity to production, and slowly steals what matters most. Using both this agent’s story and his own personal journey, he reveals why time freedom is not about doing less out of laziness—it is about doing what is obedient, sustainable, and faithful.

The agent in this story made a courageous choice to define a “healthy ceiling.” Her goal was not to shrink her impact, but to protect her purpose. She wanted to pick her daughter up from school—the very reason she entered real estate in the first place. What happened next surprised everyone: by choosing fewer transactions, her peace increased, her relationships deepened, and her referrals actually grew. It was not a loss of influence—it was a realignment of priorities. This is what time freedom looks like when it is rooted in obedience rather than fear.

Garrett also shares his own testimony of reducing his workweek from 60 hours to 40. That decision did not destroy his business—it saved his life, his marriage, and his spiritual health. For the real estate agent trapped in the real estate grind, this episode offers a radically different path forward. For the christian realtor building a faith driven business, it reframes success through stewardship, not sacrifice.

You’ll hear insight on:

• Why hustle culture often disguises burnout as ambition
• How choosing fewer clients can actually increase impact and referrals, leading to time freedom
• Why selling more homes is not always obedience
• How defining a healthy ceiling protects faith, family, and peace
• Why clients respect boundaries more than constant availability
• How God builds the business—not your 24/7 access

This episode speaks directly to leaders building realtor systems who want growth without exhaustion. Systems should not trap you—they should create margin. Garrett challenges agents to ask whether their current model supports time freedom or silently steals it. For those committed to real estate leadership, this message is a call to model boundaries, not burnout.

This episode will challenge you to redefine success and choose a pace that honors the Lord and protects what matters most. Sometimes the bravest decision is choosing less. When you trust God as the true builder of your business, time freedom becomes not just possible—it becomes the fruit of faithful obedience.

Life balance is not a luxury for high-performing real estate agents—it is a spiritual and relational necessity. From the opening moments of this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon asks a sobering question: What if your real estate success is slowly costing you everything that actually matters? Joined by Jessica Wade, a successful real estate agent and mom, Garrett leads one of the most honest conversations on life balance you’ll hear in the industry.

Jessica's story is a powerful reminder that life balance is not just about scheduling—it’s about stewardship of what God has entrusted to you.

This episode speaks directly to the real estate agent caught in the real estate grind, especially for moms and families trying to “do it all.” Garrett and Jessica unpack what it means to build a faith driven business without sacrificing marriage, parenting, or peace. For the christian realtor who feels torn between calling and closings, this conversation reframes success through obedience, presence, and healthy boundaries.

You’ll hear insight on:

• Why life balance must be protected before burnout forces change
• How unchecked pride and blurred boundaries slowly erode what matters most
• Why God’s faithfulness can redeem even the hardest seasons
• How turning off notifications and setting real boundaries can transform both life and business
• Why real estate can become a ministry when aligned with the right priorities

Jessica also speaks directly to young moms in real estate, urging them to guard time with their children fiercely and to reject the lie that constant availability equals faithfulness. For realtors of faith, she offers a powerful truth: a healthy business flows from a healthy home. When your family is protected, your leadership becomes clearer, your relationships deeper, and your impact stronger.

This episode also provides perspective for those building realtor systems. Systems should create margin, not more pressure. Garrett challenges agents to ask whether their business structure is serving their calling—or silently stealing it. For those committed to real estate leadership, this is a call to model boundaries, not burnout.

If you’ve ever felt that your business is running you instead of the other way around, this conversation will meet you where you are. Jessica’s testimony makes it clear: life balance is not about doing less for comfort—it’s about doing what matters most for faith, family, and legacy. Saying “no” is often the most faithful decision you can make.

This episode will encourage you to redefine success, protect your home, and build a business that supports the life God has called you to live. You do not have to choose between faithfulness and fruitfulness. When your priorities align with God’s order, life balance becomes the foundation for both peace and purpose.

Christian real estate agent is more than a title—it is a calling. From the opening moments of this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon invites listeners to examine not just what they are building, but how and why they are building it. Joined by Kara Chaffin Donofrio, founder and CEO of the KCD Team and host of the Soul Inspiring Business podcast, Garrett leads a powerful conversation about soul alignment, purpose, and what it truly means to operate as a christian real estate agent in a demanding, fast-moving industry.

Together, Kara and Garrett challenge the idea that growth must come at the expense of peace. Instead, they reveal how faith-driven alignment creates both sustainability and fulfillment for the christian real estate agent who desires impact without burnout.

This conversation speaks directly to the real estate agent navigating the real estate grind—busy, capable, and successful, yet longing for deeper meaning. When your soul, strategy, and schedule move in the same direction, work becomes lighter, decisions become clearer, and joy returns. For the christian realtor seeking a truly faith driven business, this episode reframes success through obedience, stewardship, and spiritual awareness rather than hustle alone.

You’ll hear insight on:

• How soul alignment blends faith, purpose, and business strategy
• Why daily prayer and mindfulness create clarity and direction
• How burnout often signals misalignment rather than incompetence
• How community and collaboration strengthen creativity and resilience
• Why human connection remains essential—even as technology grows

Kara also speaks to the importance of honoring the desires God places in your heart. Rather than dismissing your longings, she encourages you to see them as invitations into deeper purpose. For the christian real estate agent, this means building a business that reflects not alignment with trends, but alignment with truth.

This episode also provides perspective for agents implementing realtor systems. Systems are not meant to replace the soul of your business—they are meant to support it. Kara and Garrett discuss how technology and even AI can increase efficiency, but never at the cost of human connection. For leaders focused on real estate leadership, this is a reminder that people remain at the center of Kingdom impact.

As a christian real estate agent, you are not called merely to produce—you are called to steward your gifts, honor God, and serve people with intention and compassion. When your soul and strategy are aligned, growth becomes purposeful, not exhausting.
