Amanda Gleason Wins SJREIA Perfect Pitch Challenge for Her Bold, Heartfelt Real Estate Message; Paul Davis and Ryan Sullivan Named Runners-Up

CHERRY HILL, NJ, UNITED STATES, September 30, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- At this year’s SJREIA Expo, the Perfect Pitch Challenge, facilitated by Marketing Agency Near You, brought a dynamic energy to the event floor, drawing in a competitive group of professionals eager to showcase their elevator pitches on camera. After days of voting, community engagement, and careful evaluation, Amanda Gleason of Amanda Rocks Real Estate was announced as the official winner.

Gleason’s 30-second video pitch earned the top spot by excelling across all seven judging categories: clarity of offer, niche definition, opening hook, value proposition, credibility, call to action, and delivery. Her pitch clearly demonstrated why she’s not just a real estate agent, but a passionate educator and advocate for her clients.

Amanda’s pitch? Short, sharp, and full of heart – just like the best kind of home tour. She’s not just selling properties, she’s helping families find where life happens next. Whether buying or selling, Amanda brings the hustle, heart, and strategy to get results.

As the first-place winner, Gleason receives a $100 gift card, a social spotlight feature across Marketing Agency Near You’s digital channels, and a backlink in the official press release.

Runners-Up: Paul Davis and Ryan Sullivan

Two standout participants were also named runners-up:

Paul Davis, of Movement Mortgage, delivered a calm and compelling message, positioning himself as a reliable resource in an often overwhelming space. Paul’s pitch? Clear, confident, and built for speed – just like a well-structured mortgage plan. He helps buyers navigate the home loan process with less stress and more clarity. Whether it’s a first-time buyer or a seasoned investor, Paul makes financing feel simple and personal.

Ryan Sullivan, founder of Podcast Principles, impressed judges with a clear, engaging presentation about how his company helps brands build authority and trust through podcasting. Ryan’s pitch? Locked in like a perfect audio mix. At Podcast Principles, he helps creators, coaches, and brands turn their voice into a polished, pro-level podcast – without the overwhelm.
