A Top 5% Globally Ranked Real Estate Agent Podcast for Top Performing Realtors of Faith Who Want Proven Systems to Sell More Homes and Make More Money Without Burnout or Sacrificing Their Family.
Do you feel forced to choose between building a successful real estate business and being fully present in the areas of life that matter most? Are you a high-performing Christian realtor feeling worn down by the real estate grind—trying to follow God while the industry pushes hustle at all costs? Does your business look great on paper, but your work-life balance and peace at home feel off?
I’m so glad you’re here.
The Faithful Agent is a podcast for real estate agents who want to grow a successful business without burning out or losing what matters most. This show helps you build real estate systems and structure that put you back in control of your time—so you can grow your income, stay present at home, and experience real peace in business.
Inside the podcast, you’ll learn how to:
- Build systems and leverage that help you sell more homes without working more hours
- Create predictable income for realtors so financial pressure doesn’t follow you home
- Replace burnout and the real estate grind with intentional, faith-driven business growth
The goal isn’t just becoming a more successful realtor.
It’s building a business and schedule you actually enjoy now—not someday—one that lets you win at work without losing what matters most.
Hey, I’m Garrett—husband, dad of five, and high-producing real estate agent.
For years, I chased the industry’s definition of success—more deals, more money, more recognition—while quietly missing family dinners and date nights. I was productive, but I was becoming a burned-out realtor, and my faith and peace were taking a back seat.
I realized that if I wanted real freedom in this business, I couldn’t just work harder—I needed a solid framework, better structure, and smarter real estate systems.
So I built a plan that honored my faith and my family, not just my production goals. A few simple, intentional strategies allowed me to grow my business, sell a high volume of homes, and still be present at the dinner table every night.
Now, through realtor coaching and this podcast, I help other real estate agents do the same.
If you’re ready to build structure that honors God—so your business can grow while your family still gets the best of you—you’re in the right place.
So grab your coffee, dust off that Bible, and let’s dive in.

88 | How to Make Life Changes Without Waiting for a Life Changing Event w/Kate Papkin
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Too often life punches us in the face, and we are forced to make instant decisions and changes that will impact how we live. Rather than waiting for significant life events to force us to change the course of our lives, we can make changes that we are in control of today.
How do we decide what changes we need to make? Why should we conduct a life audit to decide what takes priority in our lives?
In this episode, successful real estate professional and cancer survivor, Kate Papkin joins us to discuss why we should not wait for a life changing event to change our lives, how to purposely and proactively change our priority perspectives and how she conducts a life audit.
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
-The meaning of success
How do we hone in on what our own version of success is?
-How to conduct an honest life audit
A life audit essentially means figuring out what takes priority in our lives. How do we decide what should stay and what should go?
-How to live by design
In order to live a life by design, we need to become clear on what our core values are and what aligns with it.
