“That Was Stupid” is back, and our first guest of the season is a former professional Christian musician who gave up music to be a… real estate whiz? Yup!
Logan Walter spent all his life in music. He recorded albums, he toured, and he made a living playing in churches every Sunday morning. It’s what he was known for and it’s what he did. It was even the “family business,” so to speak.
So when he decided after the pandemic to completely pivot and become a realtor, a lot of people said, “that was stupid.” But interestingly, Logan’s time on stage and connecting with people set him up for success. But not just success, major success. Within a short time of getting into real estate, he not only became the #1 agent in his company, but in the nation.
He joins “That Was Stupid” to talk about his pivot, how he’s found success (even becoming a realtor “rookie of the year”), his favorite band Steely Dan, and offers advice for others looking to do something stupid as well — including when you know it’s time to move on.

Logan’s bio:
Logan has been named a top 1% agent by “DFW Real Producers” and a “Top Real Estate Producer” by D Magazine.
Prior to becoming a real estate agent, Logan worked in full-time ministry at churches in Richardson, Austin, and Frisco. As a minister, he focused on building relationships and meeting peoples’ needs, and as a real estate agent, that focus has not changed. His mission is to understand his client’s real estate goals, and then work hard to help them achieve those goals.
Logan started his career by joining Livian, the top Keller Williams expansion team in the country. Six months into his career, Logan made it to #1 on the national monthly production chart for Livian (#1 out of 500+ agents). He would go on to win National Rookie of the Year at the annual Livian conference in Burlington, Vermont.
In May 2023, Logan closed 8 deals for $4,438,900, which made him the number one agent at the Keller Williams Dallas Preston Road Office. In July 2023, he was named the #4 Real Estate Agent in his region (North TX - New Mexico - Memphis), which includes over 8,000 licensed agents. He finished 2023 with 41 deals for $22,334,215 in total volume, including multiple seven-figure transactions.
In March of 2024, Logan was honored as the #2 grossing agent at Keller Williams Dallas Preston Road, an office of over 500 licensed agents.
Logan and his wife Maddie have three kids: Simon (7), Clark (6), and Sylvia (5). Priorities are God then family then real estate! Then Dallas pro sports.
