Stop Winging It: How to Win More Clients With Personality Data w/ Jay Groah
Jul 15, 2025In real estate, we’re expected to connect with every personality type under the sun. That usually means working really hard to match how someone else communicates.
Most of us are doing it on the fly. Winging it. Pivoting mid-conversation and crossing our fingers that our style clicks with theirs. That might have cut it back in the day, but now it’s a liability.
What if you could walk into every client meeting already knowing how to win them over?
That’s exactly what myYenta gives you: the blueprint to connect, build trust, and close the deal, by aligning with your client’s psychology from the start.
Jay Groah knows this world inside out. He’s been a practitioner, flipper, and coach for nearly two decades.
But it was one mismatched homebuying experience that sparked the idea for a tool that’s now boosting conversion rates for teams, brokerages, and even MLS boards.
In this episode, Jay breaks down how top agents are using personality data to reduce friction, cut dead weight, and close more deals with less time wasted on people who were never a match to begin with.

Guest Bio
Dr. Jay Groah is the CEO of myYenta, award-winning Realtor, serial house-flipper, and the only tech founder you’ll ever meet who moonlights as Eufegenia Housefire, a divine little old lady with a flair for matchmaking (and mischief). When he’s not revolutionizing how professionals connect with clients—think more referrals, more loyalty, and a lot less boring using the brilliance of AI and Personality Analysis—he’s probably building wild epoxy furniture, puffing on a good cigar, or nerding out over classic cars using his metric ton of academic degrees. Serious about results, never about himself, Dr Jay lives by one rule: if it’s not fun, it’s not worth doing. Whether he’s teaching, speaking, or just living out loud, he brings joy, curiosity, and a dash of eccentricity to everything he touches.
