Episode Details

Christian realtor—what does that phrase truly mean? From the opening moments of this episode of The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett Maroon invites listeners to move beyond surface-level faith in business and step into a deeper understanding of calling. In this powerful conversation with Brett Johnson, Garrett explores what it looks like to develop a “theology of real estate”—viewing your work not merely as transactions or commissions, but as a divine assignment with eternal significance. This episode challenges every christian realtor to rethink not just what they do, but why they do it.

Brett Johnson, Chartered Accountant, author, and founder of The Institute for Innovation, Integration & Impact, brings decades of experience helping leaders pursue purpose beyond profit. Together, Garrett and Brett dive into the biblical importance of place, the ethical responsibilities of real estate professionals, and how housing, land, and community are deeply woven throughout Scripture. For the christian realtor, this is a call to see property not as a product, but as a platform for stewardship, service, and Kingdom impact.

This episode speaks directly to the real estate agent who desires a faith driven business in an industry often defined by speed, competition, and metrics. This is not abstract theology—it is a practical framework for how the christian realtor lives out faith in everyday decisions.

You’ll hear insight on:

• Why “place” matters throughout the Bible and still matters today
• How real estate can become a tool for community restoration and dignity
• Why work is a divine assignment, not merely a means to earn
• How agents can serve first-time buyers and underserved communities with integrity
• How asking deeper, purpose-driven questions leads to lasting impact

Garrett challenges listeners to move beyond transactional thinking and toward transformational service. Rather than asking only, “How many homes did I sell?” he invites agents to ask, “How did my work bless people and honor God?” For the christian realtor, success is not measured only by volume, but by obedience, stewardship, and impact.

This episode also highlights the untapped potential of the Church in real estate. Brett explains how churches, ministries, and faith-driven leaders can leverage land and property to bless neighborhoods, support families, and create long-term community transformation. For those building realtor systems that prioritize people over performance, this conversation provides both conviction and clarity.

Garrett and Brett remind listeners that God is not absent from business—He is deeply invested in how we work, whom we serve, and what we build. A christian realtor is not simply a believer who sells homes; they are a steward of place, a servant of community, and a reflection of Christ in the marketplace.
