The Pickleball League That Built a $40 Million Business

Episode notes

Rob Nelson interviews Greg Roeder of Fort Collins, Colorado, who shares how he built a thriving real estate business by creating community around his passions rather than relying on traditional prospecting. A pivotal moment came when he invited a struggling homeowner to join a pickleball game, helping him realize he could offer more than real estate services - he could create meaningful connections. Greg began organizing what he calls strategic gatherings and signature events, including pickleball leagues, wellness events, coffee tastings, and other experiences that bring people together around shared interests. These gatherings naturally deepen relationships, generate referrals, and make live flow inevitable. He complements these events with highly targeted content and newsletters designed specifically for his ideal clients. Over three years, Greg grew his business from roughly $12 million in volume to $40 million while becoming one of the most recognized luxury agents in his market. His story demonstrates that when you build authentic community and create value beyond real estate, business growth follows naturally.
