Success in real estate doesn't need to mean sacrificing your peace, your family, or your faith.

Listen as I share my story on the Life at Ten Tenths podcast. We unpack how I built a 650-home, referral-driven real estate business without cold calling, open houses, or buying leads—while protecting my marriage, family time, and faith.

Huge thank you to my friends at Life at Ten Tenths for having me on! Check them out here: https://www.lifeattentenths.com/

Key Takeaways

• Identity isn’t a backpack: Your faith and values aren’t something you take on and off—lead with the real you.
• Redefine success: Don’t wear the industry’s scorecard; include profit, marriage, family rhythms, and rest in how you “keep score.”
• Hierarchy of attention: God → spouse → kids → work. Give the best of your attention to what matters most.
• Build for probability, not possibility: Create simple systems you can execute 90–100% of the time—even when life happens.
• Taste and tweak: Run “recipes” for 30 days, then iterate. Did you do all the ingredients? Did the result match the goal?
• Community is a business moat: People have fewer close relationships than ever—be a real friend and referrals follow.
• Authenticity attracts: You won’t be for everyone, and that’s the point. The right people will lean in.

Are you tired of feeling like your business is running you instead of the other way around?

Let's get real about the cost of chasing success at the expense of what matters most. From missing family dinners to burning out trying to be available 24/7, he shares what finally forced him to change—and the intentional steps he took to build a business that serves both his clients and his calling. Whether you’re overwhelmed by your calendar, stuck in the hustle, or just craving margin again, this episode is packed with clarity, conviction, and Christ-centered encouragement to take back control of your time and priorities.

You don’t have to sacrifice your faith, your family, or your peace to succeed in real estate.

• Creating systems and rhythms allows you to show up better at work and at home.
• True success means being faithful in your calling, not just fruitful in your closings.
• Margin isn’t laziness—it’s stewardship.
• Rest is not a reward for productivity. It’s a command.
• The goal is not to escape the work—but to work in a way that reflects Christ.

📌 Chapters:

00:00 – Real estate shouldn’t run your life
01:25 – The lie we all believe: hustle equals success
03:12 – Missing family time, being always “on”
