How does a top agent close 150 homes in one year, virtually—from another state? In this episode, Brendan Bartic sits down with the exceptional Knelly Dettinger, who breaks down exactly how she built a multimillion-dollar listing business ($1.6M GCI) by delivering a white-glove seller experience and powerful referral networks—all while running her business remotely.

Knelly reveals how she's mastered virtual listing appointments, closing 95% of deals without stepping foot in the seller's home, and consistently outshining her competition by making every client feel like her only one.

In this high-impact episode, you'll learn:

  • How Knelly conducts virtual listing appointments remotely—and why sellers love it.
  • Her exact pre-listing process and the key to positioning yourself as the undisputed market expert.
