West Coast Summit
Refine your heart. Refine your vision. Activate your city.
What happens in the room
Most of us build alone. We develop, we manage, we lend, we close, and few people around us understand why we do it the way we do.
This summit puts you in a room with people who do. Monday evening is stories from leaders already building this way. Tuesday is work: teaching in the morning, then the afternoon with the leaders from your own city, shaping a plan you can start on the week you get home.
You leave with a shared language, a clear picture of what your city needs, and the people to start with.
Why we gather
We are not the redeemers. That work is finished. Christ did it. We do not redeem land, or systems, or people. Our job is to make what He has already done visible in the places we hold.
How do we make God's redemptive work visiblein the places He has entrusted to us?
The question we will work on together.
Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.Jeremiah 29:7

Who is Redemptive Real Estate
A faith-based real estate conference and movement for Christian leaders who believe God owns it all.
Since 2023 we have gathered leaders in Santa Barbara and Dallas. Newport Beach is next.

Why you should be in the room
You own, develop, manage, lend on, or design property, and you want to build with other believers in your city.
Here is how the room fills: in each city, we are working alongside two or three leaders we know well, and each of them is gathering ten to twenty Christian real estate leaders from that city. If one of them invited you, get your ticket, and you will sit with your city on Tuesday. If you want to gather the leaders in your city, email us and we will talk.
Registration is open to everyone. Not invited yet? Email [email protected] and tell us about your work.
