n this video, I share my personal story of how Jesus rescued me from the dominion of darkness and brought me into His marvelous light. For years, I struggled with drug abuse, brokenness, and searching for meaning in all the wrong places. But God never gave up on me.

Through His grace and love, I encountered Jesus Christ as my personal Savior—and everything changed. This is a testimony of transformation, healing, and freedom that only comes through Him.

If you’ve ever felt trapped, hopeless, or far from God, I want you to know there is hope. The same Jesus who set me free can do the same for you.

📖 “For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves.” — Colossians 1:13

🙏 I pray my story encourages you to trust in Christ and to know that you are never too far gone for His saving grace.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Phillip Cantrell, the founder of Benchmark Realty and a respected leader in the real estate industry. From starting Benchmark in 2006 to growing it into one of the largest independent brokerages in Tennessee—and now being part of United Real Estate—Phillip shares his journey, leadership principles, and what it takes to build a brokerage that empowers agents to thrive.

We talk about:

• How he built Benchmark from the ground up during a market downturn
• His innovative approach to brokerage models and agent growth
• The importance of culture, systems, and high standards
• Lessons from his background in business and leadership
• How our shared faith in Christ is the true foundation for lasting success in both life and business

This conversation is packed with insights that every real estate professional can learn from—whether you’re an agent looking to grow your business, or someone interested in what it takes to build a powerhouse brokerage rooted in integrity and faith.

🎥 How I Got Started on YouTube as a Realtor in Central Florida

When I first started, I didn’t have fancy equipment or a big strategy—I just wanted a place to share my home walkthrough videos. I grabbed my iPhone, started recording homes in Lakeland and the Central Florida area, and uploaded them here to YouTube.

What started as simple home tours grew into something much bigger. Over time, I began adding videos about buying and selling homes, real estate tips, and local market updates. Before long, people were finding me organically, reaching out with questions, and even becoming clients!

Today, YouTube has become one of my best tools for connecting with buyers, sellers, and even other agents. The exposure keeps growing, and the best part is—it’s authentic and organic.

If you’re thinking about moving to Central Florida, buying or selling a home, or even if you’re a fellow real estate agent curious about growing your business with video—I’d love to connect!

🚀 5 Lead Sources That Still Work in 2025 🚀

📖 Luke 5:4 – “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”
Just like Peter had to trust Jesus and cast his nets deeper, sometimes in real estate we need to go deeper with proven strategies that still work today.

Here are 5 lead sources you can focus on right now:
1️⃣ Sphere of Influence – Your most trusted lead source. Relationships matter.
2️⃣ Open Houses – Meet buyers and sellers face-to-face.
3️⃣ Social Media Content – Consistency builds authority and trust.
4️⃣ Online Lead Platforms – Zillow, Ylopo, Realtor.com—still powerful with the right follow-up.
5️⃣ Community Involvement – Church, events, and volunteering build long-term, relationship-based leads.

👉 Don’t just hope for business—be intentional, cast your nets deep, and watch the results come in.

🙌 If this video encourages you, like, comment, and subscribe for more faith-driven real estate content.

In this Realtors of Faith conversation, Brian Stephens sits down with his longtime coach and friend, Matt Sutter, to unpack how faith, purpose, and disciplined habits fuel real estate success—especially in a shifting market.

You’ll hear practical frameworks for:

Turning activity into productivity (doing the right things)

Habit stacking that actually sticks (start small, win often)

Building a business that becomes a conduit to grow the Kingdom

Course-correcting like a pro when life and business drift

If you’ve ever felt “busy but not productive,” or wrestled with routine, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways

Busy ≠ Productive. Productivity is doing the right things, consistently.

Build winnable games. Start with 5 minutes, then stack.

Course-correct often. You pilot the rocket; a coach helps you stay on target.

Purpose first. Your business can be a vehicle for impact when stewarded well.

Memorable Quotes

“Coaching is about walking up the mountain with someone, side by side.”

“Create winnable games because we won’t play an unwinnable game.”

“The difference between being active and being productive is doing the right things.”

“Success is a series of baby steps—and sometimes those steps are backwards.”

“Once habits are ingrained, it actually feels uncomfortable not to do them.”

“What if making money in your career was a conduit to growing the Kingdom?”

“At the end of the day, you’ve gotta fly the rocket ship.”

🏡 Why Pricing Your Home Correctly Is CRUCIAL in Today’s Market 💰

📍 Lakeland, Florida Real Estate Tips | Sellers – Don’t Make This Mistake!

Thinking of selling your home in 2025? Before you list, you need to hear this…

Pricing your home correctly in today’s market can make or break your sale. With buyers more educated than ever and interest rates still influencing affordability, your home’s price is your most powerful marketing tool.

Here’s why the right price matters:
✅ First impressions are everything – you only get one shot!
✅ Overpricing leads to price drops and lost momentum
✅ Today’s buyers are smart – they will compare your home online
✅ A well-priced home attracts more views, more offers, and even bidding wars
✅ You lose leverage the longer your home sits on the market
✅ Even if a buyer agrees to your price, the appraisal still has to support it

Don’t chase the market – position yourself to win from Day 1!
