How Ricky Carruth Built a Million-Dollar Real Estate Business With One Weekly Email

See Ricky's Original Post

In a world full of complicated funnels, paid leads, and constantly changing algorithms, Ricky Carruth did something almost boring.

He sent one email every week.
Same day. Same time. Every week.

And that simple habit helped him build a seven-figure real estate business.

Consistency Beats Complexity

Ricky Carruth is known for his no-nonsense approach to real estate marketing. Instead of chasing trends, he focused on one core principle: stay consistently visible to your database.

His system was simple:

  • One email per week
  • Sent on the same day and time
  • Valuable, relevant, and easy to read
  • No selling pressure

That consistency built familiarity. Familiarity built trust. And trust built transactions.

Why the Weekly Email Worked

Ricky didn’t rely on “perfect” content. He relied on predictability.

When people see your name in their inbox every week:

  • You stop being “an agent” and become their agent
  • You’re remembered without reminding
  • You’re trusted without selling

Over time, that weekly touchpoint compounds. Ricky famously closed 100+ deals per year for eight straight years, largely fueled by his database — not paid leads.

Same Day. Same Time. Same Message: “I’m Still Here.”

The magic wasn’t the template. It was the discipline.

Most agents email sporadically:

  • when they have a listing
  • when the market changes
  • when they “remember”

Ricky emailed whether he felt like it or not. That’s the difference.

What This Means for Agents Today

The lesson isn’t to copy Ricky’s exact words.
The lesson is to copy the system.

A simple weekly email:

  • keeps you top of mind
  • builds a real database asset
  • works in good markets and bad
  • scales without burnout

And best of all?
It works while everyone else is distracted.

The Real Takeaway

You don’t need more platforms.
You don’t need more leads.
You need a rhythm.

One email. Every week. Same time.
That’s how million-dollar businesses are built — quietly, consistently, and on purpose.
