Chiseled Ep 71 The Faithful Agent - Garrett Maroon

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 gettrained 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 andforemost honor the Lord."I recorded my interview with Garrett a while back. He is afast-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 episode of Chiseled, you will too.  Interested in learning more about Garrett?
