What if your most significant career shift started with someone saying, “You’re never going to be the guy”? 

For John, that challenge sparked a journey from chasing football dreams to co-leading one of the most community-driven real estate brands in Delaware County.

In this episode of Compass Wealth Conversations, Brendon Murphy talks with John Port of Selling Delco about how humility, hard work, and a deep connection to their hometown shaped a real estate business that’s anything but ordinary. From turning down deals to doing what’s right for the client, to hosting 800-person events for charity, this conversation is about more than selling homes. It’s about living with purpose.

What to expect in this episode:

• Behind the scenes of how Selling Delco was built—from rejection to reputation
• Why the Delco Group isn’t just a charity—it’s a call to action
• A powerful story of how John’s daughter helped drive a community initiative
• Real talk on today’s real estate market and why experience matters more than ever
• And more!
