For the first ten years of my real estate career I was also a firefighter and medic — running calls at night, selling houses by day. I know what it costs to be the person everybody calls. I give your audience the systems, the technology, and the permission to build a business that doesn't consume them.
Each one is built for a room of working agents and the brokers who lead them. Delivered as a 30-minute closing keynote, a 60-minute main stage, or a 90-minute working session.
Creating a sustainable and profitable real estate business.
Most agents don't have a lead problem — they have a rhythm problem. A practical system for generating business that doesn't collapse the week you get busy, drawn from 2,000+ homes sold and the habits of the agents who never go hungry.
Mastering perseverance and resilience for real estate professionals.
Every market turns. Every technology shift arrives early and uninvited. This is the talk about staying in the arena — how the agents who survive commission changes, downturns, and AI keep choosing to show up, and what that choice is actually made of.
Who is going to rescue the rescuer?
Ten years running calls as a firefighter and medic taught me one rule that outranks all the others: you check your own air before you go in for anyone else. Agents are rescuers by trade — and the most burned-out people in the building. This is the talk rooms get quiet for.
AI and automation for the work you should never have been doing.
Agents didn't get into this business to chase paperwork, retype the same listing eight times, or spend Sunday night on a CMA. AI can take almost all of it. A hands-on look at what to automate, what to keep human, and how to get your week back to the thing you're actually good at: sitting with people and helping them find a home.
You cannot take care of anyone until you have taken care of yourself.
On a fire scene it's not a philosophy, it's a procedure. In real estate we skipped that part — we built an industry of people who answer every call, carry every client, and quietly run out of air. Fixing that is the work I've given my career to.
I grew up inside my parents' real estate business. In 1997 I started The Creath Team — and for that first decade I was doing it while serving as a firefighter and EMT with Westlake Fire Department, running calls at night and showing houses the next morning. I've been a practicing agent ever since: more than 2,000 homes sold across Austin and Miami.
What I kept noticing was the gap between how good the work could be and how the industry actually ran it. So I built things. The Paperless Agent became one of the most trusted training platforms in real estate, and the technology got us featured by Apple, Evernote, DocuSign, and Inman — the only agent to make all four lists.
Since then I've trained more than 300,000 agents and brokers and brokers. I still sell. I still build. And the talk I'm asked back for most is the one about the thing nobody in this business is taught: how to stay whole while you take care of everyone else.
Ninety seconds of what a session actually feels like — the stories, the laughs, and the part where everybody stops taking notes.
“Garry turns information into conviction, and conviction into career-changing action.”
“Our agents talked about the rescuer talk for months. It gave people permission to be honest about what this job costs.”
“I've booked a hundred speakers. Garry is the only one we've brought back three years running.”
A keynote can move a room for a day. Twelve weeks changes how someone runs their business. I take a small roster at a time — operators who want the pipeline fixed, the boundaries drawn, and the business built to last past the next market.
Ask about the rosterShort, useful answers to the questions agents and brokers keep asking me — written out so the next person can find them.
Four keynotes: Endless Pipeline on sustainable lead generation, Unstoppable on perseverance and resilience, Rescuer on burnout and boundaries, and Back to the Kitchen Table on AI and automation. All four are written for working agents and the brokers who lead them.
A real estate agent since 1997 with more than 2,000 homes sold in Austin and Miami, a firefighter and EMT for the first ten years of that career, and the founder of The Paperless Agent, where he has trained over 300,000 agents and brokers. He is the only real estate agent to be featured by Apple, Evernote, DocuSign, and Inman News.
It's a rule from emergency response: you check your own air before you go in for anyone else. Agents are rescuers by trade — always on call — and among the most burned-out people in the business. The Rescuer keynote teaches agents and brokers how to take care of themselves so they can keep taking care of everyone else.
30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes. Shorter formats work as opening or closing keynotes; the 60 and 90 minute formats can run as hands-on workshops or breakouts. Custom sessions for a specific association or brokerage are welcome.
Yes — Back to the Kitchen Table covers how agents use AI and automation to hand off paperwork, listing copy, follow-up, and market analysis, so their hours go back to meeting with people and helping them with their housing needs.
