SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - I am ecstatic to introduce my new co-host Cole Ordiway, a fellow realtor and great buddy of mine. Cole brings a rare mix to the show: a coach's instinct for asking the questions you didn't know you needed answered, and a fresh, faith-driven perspective that pushes every conversation deeper (plus a few Christian dad jokes of his own). I'm so excited to welcome Cole to the show; he'll make it sharper, more practical, and a whole lot more fun for every agent trying to grow a business without losing their faith, family, or peace.--------------Most agents think being "always on" is the price of success, but what if that is the very thing holding them back? Garrett and Cole welcome Shae Spitz on this episode of The Faithful Agent podcast. Shae has sold more than $95 million in real estate and helped over 360 families buy and sell homes across eight years in the business — all while raising three kids and staying present in her marriage. But she opens this episode not with a production number; she opens with a story about her eXp sponsor Brent Gove calling her out of the blue, in the middle of a hardware store, just to ask how she was doing and to pray over her.That moment sets the tone for an honest, unguarded conversation about what Christian real estate agents are really chasing. As Shae puts it, once you start making money you realize the money was never the point — what you're actually chasing is peace, and a deeper relationship with God.Garrett, Cole, and Shae also dig into the tension every faith-based realtor knows: how do you build a thriving, referral-based real estate business without losing your faith, family, or peace? Shae shares the marriage rhythms that saved her relationship — a weekly Wednesday planning lunch and a Sunday "State of the Union" check-in that came out of couples counseling — plus the hard-won boundaries that taught her clients to respect her time, including not working Sundays and letting go of the client who demanded 11pm phone calls.You'll also hear a genuinely useful breakdown of Shae's "set it and forget it" referral systems, an honest open-house debate between three top producers, and why being intentional with your time is one of the most biblical business principles an agent can practice. Garrett even shares the experiment that proved most of the busywork agents cling to doesn't matter at all.Whether you're a Christian entrepreneur, a faith-based realtor in Hampton Roads, Virginia Beach, or Richmond VA, or simply an agent tired of being "always on," this episode is a reminder that the way you make people feel will always outlast the way you closed the deal.New episodes of The Faithful Agent release every Thursday to help you build success that actually lasts — to the glory of God, at work and at home.Key TakeawaysA single phone call can change someone's life. Shae's most impactful recent moment wasn't a closing — it was her sponsor Brent Gove stopping to pray over her in the middle of a hardware store. Faithful agents can replicate that kind of impact simply by reaching out and asking, "How can I pray for you?"Being present beats being home. Shae's husband didn't need her to be home more — he needed her mentally and emotionally present when she was there. Naming what you actually need, instead of criticizing what your spouse is doing wrong, changes the entire conversation.Build marriage rhythms into the calendar. A weekly Wednesday lunch to plan the week and a Sunday "State of the Union" check-in (both recommended in couples counseling) keep small frustrations from quietly turning into big ones.Boundaries earn respect, not resentment. When Shae stopped working Sundays and after-hours, clients respected her more — and the ones who didn't (like the seller demanding 11pm and 4am calls) weren't the clients she wanted anyway.Abundance is what protects your boundaries. You can only say no to bad-fit clients when you have enough business that no single deal controls you. Strong, consistent lead generation is what actually makes freedom possible."Set it and forget it" referral systems compound. Shae runs two low-cost, automated systems — a follow-up plan that mails postcards and newsletters for five years, and a year-long card drip that ends with delivered brownies and a QR code prompting a Google review. The payoff: 76% repeat-and-referral business with very little daily effort.Question the busywork. Garrett's challenge: most of us do things we've convinced ourselves matter. He once quietly cancelled a 30-person book club to test it — and no one said a word. What in your business could you simply stop doing?Do open houses with intention, or not at all. Open houses procure only about 1–3% of buyers, but they can still serve as a value-add to sellers, a way to re-engage a stale listing, and a source of new listing leads — when they're done deliberately rather than out of habit.The money was never the point. Once you start earning, you realize you were chasing peace and a relationship with God all along. How you make people feel will always outlast how fast or how high you sold.Connect with Shae: https://linktr.ee/shaejspitzConnect with Me!Need help in your business? I'm here to help!
