The Balanced Breakthrough

The breakthrough you're chasing isn't about more hustle—it's about finally finding balance that lasts.
Are you winning at work but losing at life?
Garrett Maroon was. From the outside, he had it all—a top-performing real estate team, industry accolades, and a calendar packed with closings. But behind the scenes? Eighty-hour weeks, mounting pressure, and burnout that could have cost him his marriage, health, and faith.
Then one day, Garrett asked himself the question that changed everything: "What's the point of success if the people I love most aren't in it with me?"
In that moment, he realized he was building a business but neglecting his home—and it wasn't worth the cost. That painful clarity became the catalyst for everything that came next.
The Balanced Breakthrough is your invitation to rewrite the rules of success. In these pages, Garrett opens up about the toll of hustle culture and how he chose a different path—one that honors God, family, and a sustainable business model.
Inside, you'll discover:
- How to create your own definition of success— one rooted in purpose, not pressure. - The PDA Formula: Build a Predictable, Dollar-productive, and Aligned business that serves your life. - Proven strategies to reclaim your time, protect your peace, and lead with integrity. - A roadmap to more income, greater impact, and lasting joy—without losing what matters most.
Whether you're an ambitious entrepreneur, a weary professional, or a real estate agent chasing balance, this book will show you how to stop surviving and start thriving—in business and in life.
You don't have to burn out to stand out.
You just need to redefine the win.

Garrett Maroon's real estate story started small- just forty names in a database and a vision fueled by relationships over leads. Fast forward eleven years, and he's closed over 650 homes 100 percent by relationships. As the founder of 2:10 Realty Group, a top 1 percent team in Southeast Virginia, Garrett brings more than expertise-he leads with authenticity, heart, and a deep commitment to serving both clients and his team with excellence.
But real estate is just the beginning. Garrett co-founded The 2:10 Collective at eXp Realty, where faith and business meet in powerful ways. He also launched The Faithful Agent, a nonprofit and vibrant community for Gospel-centered agents who want to grow not just their business-but their walk with Christ.
Every week on The Faithful Agent Podcast, Garrett shares real talk and real strategy to help agents thrive at work without burning out at home. In his book The Balanced Breakthrough his message is clear: You don't have to choose between success and your soul. You can win at work without losing at life.
So, what's Garrett's superpower? Helping agents make more money by staying true to who they are and doing what they love.
At home, Garrett's world is full of laughter and life with his wife Rachel, their five amazing kids-Haddie (8), Dylan (6), Ivy (4), Zoe (2), and baby Miles-and their loyal pup, Sampson. He's deeply involved in his church, always ready with a dad joke, and grounded in the belief that true success is built on relationships-faith, family, and business in that order.
