When golf and business converge, magic happens. This episode dives deep into that powerful intersection with special guest Adam Rutledge, owner of Rutledge Real Estate and a portfolio of successful businesses throughout Southern Oregon.
The conversation kicks off with hosts Darren and Noah discussing the recent US Open at Oakmont, marveling at JJ Spawn's game-changing 60-foot putt and the notoriously challenging course conditions that frustrated even the world's top players. They share their own recent golfing experiences before welcoming Adam to the show.
Adam offers fascinating insights into how he leverages golf to build authentic client relationships that drive his real estate business. "I make sure that I can take care of my clients and spend good time and build solid relationships and friendships with clients through golf," he explains. "That just helps secure business and create loyalty." His perspective on business ethics is equally compelling, as he shares stories about prioritizing client needs over commission checks – a philosophy that has earned him lasting loyalty and steady referrals.
The trio explores current real estate market trends in Southern Oregon, with Adam providing a detailed overview of golf communities in the region, from Eagle Point properties in the mid-$600,000s to exclusive Rogue Valley Country Club listings reaching $2 million. For golf enthusiasts considering relocation, Adam highlights Southern Oregon's impressive array of courses within an hour's drive, including several hidden gems.
Between business insights, the episode delivers plenty of laughs with stories of memorable mishaps on the course, from hitting balls backward to accidentally playing the wrong green. The conversation wraps with an exciting announcement of a new partnership offering Rutledge Real Estate clients a complimentary Golf Garage membership.
