Listen Later

In this episode of the RETSY Podcast, Chris and Matt sit down with brand and content strategist Jaclyn Romo. Jaclyn shares her fascinating journey from launching a viral cosmetics brand and generating $100,000 in her first month using purely organic social media, to eventually partnering with Grant Cardone’s CMO and working alongside industry giants like Gary Vee and Ryan Serhant. Now, with 80% of her clientele in real estate and mortgage, Jaclyn specializes in helping top-producing agents translate their hard-earned offline authority into a premium, lead-generating online presence.


Jaclyn delivers an absolute masterclass on digital strategy, breaking down exactly why agents need to stop hiding behind house tours and start stepping in front of the camera. She reveals her strict "3-second rule" for Instagram profiles, why you must merge your personal and business accounts, and the exact 4-part recipe (Hook, Credibility, Value, Call-to-Action) for creating videos that actually convert followers into clients. From discussing the dangers of generic AI content to her "80/20 rule" for balancing personal and professional posts, Jaclyn provides a highly actionable blueprint for agents who are ready to stop being their market's best-kept secret.
