Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcast
If you could live anywhere, where would it be? Most people know the answer instantly. Very few actually act on it.
Today we sit down with Knelly Dettinger, a powerhouse agent who closes more than 150 homes a year across Eastern Minnesota and Wisconsin while living in sunny San Diego. She built a $1.6 million GCI business, raised nine children, and created a system that allows her to serve clients from 2,000 miles away.
Knelly walks us through the models that make her “remote rainmaker” approach work. We unpack how she wins listing presentations over Zoom, how her assistant handles the in-person side of the appointment, and how a strong database keeps her business thriving no matter where she lives.
She also shares how she structures her monthly trips back to the Midwest, the client events and open houses that keep her deeply connected to her community, and why intentional communication is the key to building trust from afar.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can grow a thriving real estate business while designing the life you want, this conversation will expand what you believe is possible.
