Many entrepreneurs struggle to build a business that truly reflects their values and aligns with their definition of success.   The traditional model often prioritizes profit over purpose, leaving us feeling disconnected from our work and unfulfilled in our pursuits. This can lead to discontentment and even moral conflict.   What do you do when you start questioning your purpose and whether it aligns with your business? How do we incorporate our values into our businesses to ensure that it's a success?   Enter Garrett Maroon, visionary entrepreneur and the host of The Faithful Agent Podcast who defied conventional wisdom and built a business that authentically aligns with his values. In this episode, we talk about what success means, how to ensure our decisions align with our core values, and how to be intentional about how we show up in the world.   Your job is not to become what the industry has told you to become. Your job is to figure out who you are and be excellent at that. -Garrett Maroon   Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    -The one thing How do we master one thing in our business if it aligns with who we are?   -Letting ego take over How do we stay humble in a vain industry?   -Figure out who you are and be excellent at it How do we figure out exactly who we are and then build a business based on that?   Guest Bio   With over 8 years of experience, 500+ homes sold, over 100 million dollars in real estate negotiated, and a ranking in the top 1% in the area for 6 years in a row, Garrett Maroon brings substantial experience and expertise to his team and their clients. His family lives in Newport News (Hunters Glenn) and has been in the Hampton Roads area for over 15 years.

Real estate agent Garrett Maroon has never made a cold call, hosted an open house, or bought a lead. He started in real estate in 2014 with just 40 people in his referral database and has since built a business on relationships and referrals only, doing very well selling 550 homes in under nine years. But about seven years after starting his career, Garrett felt that he was dancing around a subject he really wanted to discuss — his faith. So the Newport News, Virginia-based agent began talking about it with other realtors and even clients, and found that connecting his faith to his work could be wildly successful. Garrett turned his faith into a successful business model. He operates the "Faithful Agent," a real estate business and a coaching company of the same name. He hosts a podcast with his buddy Tyler Wilson, runs a large Facebook community, and last year began holding faith-based business conferences for agents. He is also publishing a book on his faithful agent strategy. "We want to be a place ... where a Christian can say, 'I need to get trained in my business but I want it to come from someone who has the same mentality as I do with this eternal perspective, with Christ in mind,'" he said.   Garrett told me that he wants to make sure that people understand he's not using his faith to try to make a buck. "At the end of the day, for me, as a Christian, my job is to first and foremost honor the Lord." I recorded my interview with Garrett a while back. He is a fast-talker and extremely animated about his goals, which he is rapidly achieving. I firmly believe that Garrett, a husband and father of four young children, is going to have great success in his endeavors, and after you hear this week's episode of Chiseled, you will too.    Interested in learning more about Garrett?

When we were talking with Garrett Maroon, this week's Stay Paid guest, we were blown away by the fact that he told us that after eight years and 500 transactions, he had never made a cold call, bought a lead, or hosted an open house. From the very beginning, he set out to create a thriving real estate business based solely on referrals. He was told it wasn't possible, but he succeeded—and how he did it isn't rock science. Listen to Garrett's interview to find out how he closed 50 deals with a database of only 40 people; his straightforward, repeatable system for staying in front of those he serves; and why simply showing up for people in small ways makes such a powerful, lasting impact.

On today's episode, Jeff talks to Garrett Maroon, owner of Maroon Group Real Estate and host of the Serving Not Selling Podcast. He shares how he built a referral business that generates over 100 transactions per year.  Garrett's system is easy to implement, requires little money, and no cold calls yet generates consistent business no matter what the rest of the market is doing.  Tune in and follow his lead to build a solid referral business in your market. Episode Highlights: Garrett shares how initially he was against the idea of joining real-estate but then after months of exploring this field he said yes to it. Garrett's encouragement to agents is one of his favorite quotes from Charles Kettering is the only time you can't afford to fail is the last time you try. The world is different, people interact differently. Garrett explains why it is important to understand and adapt. Garrett explains how he shifted that mindset of becoming a real estate agent versus a friend. Garrett talks about the research he did on consumer psychology.  Garrett talks about the importance of building relationships even though they may not be a potential client.  If you are an agent who struggles to talk about your business, you probably should say it more often and if you are an agent who has no problem talking about yourself and your business, you probably should say it less. Consistency is everything. It's not about perfection, about consistency. “You can have the perfect post. But it doesn't matter if you're not going to follow it up with a bunch of other posts,” says Jeff. For his clients, every quarter Garrett has the same rhythm of personal touches. He shares the cadence of the quarters. You just have to think about how you can actually consistently care for people. That is how you win in the real estate industry. Garrett talks about the future generation, the millennials and how they are reluctant to answer their phones. He shares how you can get a better hold of them. Garrett explains how he has a systemic approach towards building relationships.  The old school people teach agents to abuse their various vendors, which as per Garrett is not the right way to do it.  3 Key Points: Garrett talks about his database of clients, how he started with just 40 people and how he was able to organically grow it.  Garrett shares sales pitches and how he indirectly approaches people and lets them know that he is a real-estate agent.  If you have the old school mindset, you need to change it again. You are going to get left behind. It's just not going to work, says Jeff.   Resources Mentioned:  Lab Coat Agents | Website | Facebook | Facebook Group | Twitter | Instagram  Jeff Pfitzer   | Instagram | LinkedIn | Twitter Follow Up Boss (Sponsor) Chime (Sponsor) Z buyer (sponsor)   Garrett Maroon: text 804-878-2200 https://www.businessbyrelationships.com/ https://servingnotselling.buzzsprout.com/

Is there a better way to get business?  Can we create a business that will generate referrals for years and set us free from high pressure sales?  In today's episode of Real Estate Uncensored, we're joined by owner of The Maroon Group Real Estate, CEO of Business By Relationships and host of the podcast Serving Not Selling, Garrett Maroon.

A Keller Williams agent for 8 years, Garrett started his business with 150 people or so in his database—by being hyper-engaged he was able to turn those 150 contacts into 50 deals in just his 2nd year! Garrett believes that all an agent needs is a database of loyal people, and has personally never made a cold call or done an open house. Garrett is truly a master of working his database, and continually adding to it with quality people who he genuinely wants to be friends with. This mentality helped Garrett to grow from 50 deals in year two to over 100 transactions and $28m in 2021, with only 2 agents on his team. Garrett is a master of client events and does 4 per year. Because he knows that everyone likes their family and tasty carbs, he hosts an annual donuts & family portraits event that lets him re-connect in meaningful ways with his clients and his community.

The space between our ears is a battlefield, and a lot of our struggles come down to what we're telling ourselves, the soundtrack that's playing inside our heads.  Whether it has merit or not, our inner voice doesn't always speak in the kindest of terms, and it can have severe effects if it goes unchecked.  How do we develop a healthier relationship with this inner critic and get out of the downward spiral of thinking?  In “Soundtracks”, Jon Acuff provides steps we can take to examine how we talk to ourselves and deal with it. In today's episode, coach, team leader and President of Business by Referrals LLC, Garrett Maroon shares why this book has been so life-changing for him.  Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode  How to nip overthinking in the bud  We don't have to give into our inner soundtrack, believe it or agree with it all the time. Our inner voice is just our brain's problem solving, meaning-making mechanism, and its interpretation of events can be heavily biased. One of the biggest mistakes we make is assuming that all of our thoughts are true, instead of distancing ourselves from them and calling them out.  The most freeing thing about our inner soundtracks The fact that there's a soundtrack running, and the fact that the soundtrack tends to be a little negative doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. We just need to build in the necessary mechanisms to combat this soundtrack.  Why thinking in absolutes creates more suffering  A broken soundtrack tends to catastrophize and overexaggerate every experience, and blow even a small thing out of proportion. What we tell ourselves has the power to completely derail us, even when it shouldn't. There's no such thing as a perfect day where you encounter no obstacles. We can either label it as a bad day or just accept it as a normal part of life. Guest Bio  Garrett Maroon is a team leader, coach and the President of Business by Referrals LLC. Having experienced stress, burnout, and struggle himself, Garrett is passionate about helping agents build their businesses based on relationships, so they can earn more while working less.

Statistically speaking, we're more likely to convert referrals than internet leads. However, many of us are shying away from a referral-only business because the thought of a relationship-based business seems risky.   That being said, it doesn't need to be. If we approach our relationships the right way, there's no reason why we can't build a big business from our database alone. The question is, how do we do it right?    What are the agents with relationship-based businesses doing that the rest of us aren't? Is it possible to build a sustainable business without taking the traditional route?    In this episode, President of Business by Referral LLC, Garrett Maroon shares how to get better at building real connections, and how to turn those connections into clients. Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode    How to use our expertise for good As agents, we know how our clients' financial decisions will impact their transactions better than anyone else. Build trust by using that knowledge to become their financial advocate and advise them on the best steps forward.    How to train people to see us as Realtors Our spheres often forget about what we do for a living, so give them reminders. This doesn't need to be aggressive, just be sure to use words like 'real estate' and 'business' in conversation to issue something subtle that sticks.   How to be more consistent with keeping in touch None of us want to let connections slip away, but it's human nature to forget to reach out regularly. Set up a system where nothing falls through the cracks, so we can make the most of every relationship. Guest Bio   Garrett Maroon is the President of Business by Referrals LLC.

Many real estate agents believe that they have to be open 24/7 in order to be successful in our profession.    They’ve bought into the lie that building a competitive business requires agents to give up all their time. This doesn’t have to be true for us.    It’s possible to have a thriving business without 80-hour weeks and burnout, by choosing to work by relationship and referral. Agents who grow by nurturing their database get to dictate their schedule, work manageable hours and are better equipped for market shifts.     How can we grow a better business by valuing ourselves and respecting our own time? In this episode, I’m joined by agent, team leader and president of Business by Referrals, Garrett Maroon. He shares how he built a successful business that runs on relationships. Things You’ll Learn In This Episode Why your social circle isn’t doing business with you  If we want our friends and family to do business with us or refer people to us, we have to get them to see us in a real estate context. How did Garrett do this and grow his database from 40 to 300 people?    How to choose the right CRM You just need a place for your information to live so you can take care of your people, it doesn’t need to be more complicated than that.    The limiting belief agents have to overcome  We don’t have to be available 24/7 to make our clients feel like we’re doing a good job. If we prove ourselves to be valuable, people will respect the schedules we set.    How clients treat us starts with how we treat ourselves  When clients don’t respect our work boundaries, it’s our fault for not setting expectations and protecting our time. How can we expect to be valued if we don’t value ourselves first?
