Kristin Pomroy helps Pearland business owners build lives and businesses that actually work in the real world, not just on paper. She does it with two ventures that feed into each other as Kristin Pomroy REALTOR, and Elevate, a growing community for entrepreneurs who are tired of feast and famine cycles and ready to build something sustainable.
Before real estate, Kristin spent more than a decade running restaurants as a general manager, learning leadership at the steering wheel of other people’s companies. Long hours and a new baby offered the impetus to reset and spend time as a stay-at-home mom for the first time. After about a year at home with her little ones, she wanted to do more, but wanted to make money on her own terms. Her mother, a veteran REALTOR of more than 25 years, had always pushed her toward entrepreneurship and urged her not to follow the status quo of working for someone else, so real estate became the obvious next step.
Kristin launched her real estate business and has been profitable every year since. Even in her toughest year, she still made money and used the experience to question and refine what she wanted her long term career to look like. Today, she loves helping people buy and sell homes, but she sees real estate as both a way to serve clients and a vehicle to fund a larger mission.
Elevate started as a free networking group inspired by the book “Launch” by Jeff Walker, which emphasizes building people and rooms around your business as a foundation. Kristin never liked traditional networking; it felt like pulling teeth and she hated the standard routine of handing out business cards. She began asking what it would look like to create a group that felt fun, people centered, and community driven instead of transactional.
The turning point came during a workout with a close friend who asked if time and money were no object, what would she be doing. Kristin answered without hesitation that she would invest her time and money into other people’s hopes, goals, and dreams. That off the cuff answer crystallized her calling and led directly to Elevate in its current form.
Today, Elevate is a space where entrepreneurs can admit what they do not know and ask for help without pretending everything is fine. Kristin describes it as a safe place to say things like: “this is a new step in my business,” “I am scaling and I have never done this before,” “what does that look like?” She believes entrepreneurs are a particular kind of person… a little bit “crazy” in the best way, and that they need a community where that mindset feels normal instead of misunderstood.
Her own family illustrates that tension. Her father, an engineer with a bachelor’s degree, loves the idea of entrepreneurship but often suggested she go back to school for a more “stable” path when things get tough. Elevate gives business owners who are wired like Kristin a circle that understands why they keep choosing risk, growth, and autonomy over a conventional paycheck.
Kristin says her ideal Elevate member is an entrepreneur who is stuck either financially or at a specific stage of growth and wants out of the uncertainty of cyclical market patterns. Her brand statement captures it clearly: she guides entrepreneurs stuck in feast and famine to build a six-figure income. She wants people not just to fund their businesses but to fund their lives, including taxes, marketing, and the less glamorous realities that come with running a company.
Elevate welcomes both those who have already hit a plateau in revenue or scaling and those who are newer or aspiring entrepreneurs who do not yet know what their business journey will look like. Kristin focuses on grounded, practical steps rather than chasing every shiny object, helping people invest in what will actually move them forward.
The first entry point into Elevate is still completely free. Kristin hosts an in-person networking event on the last Friday of every month from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., rotating locations to support local small businesses. Each event draws a mix of regulars who show up every month and new faces who are welcomed into the community. She believes that getting to know people in person creates a much deeper connection than online-only offerings.
From there, entrepreneurs can step into a paid membership that includes biweekly group coaching calls; one class each month tailored to what members are facing in real time, and access to her six figure income playbook. Members also join a private Facebook community, now at around 1700 people, where they can ask questions between calls and classes. Kristin calls many of her sessions “boring business basics” or “grounded and growing” and covers fundamentals like business planning, budgeting, systems, and scaling without pretending to be a CPA or getting lost in technical financial details.
Looking ahead, she is preparing to launch a more intensive consulting package for entrepreneurs with teams of roughly one to ten people who are ready to dig deep into their operations. She is also developing her playbook so people never have to wonder when their next paycheck is coming and can pay bills in full on time while building real time freedom into their businesses.
She sees her real estate work as both a calling and a means to fund Elevate. During a difficult year in the market, she prayed for clarity about whether to renew her license and stay in the field. In that season she promised that if she could thrive financially and become extremely profitable in real estate, she would funnel that success into Elevate so the mission of supporting entrepreneurs could grow.
The results have been striking. In the current year she has fourteen hot leads, the most she has ever had, compared to a typical range of about six to eleven in a good year. That increase is allowing her to finance Elevate’s growth without taking on loans, credit lines, or outside investors. Over the next few years, she hopes Elevate will become stable enough for her to shift from traditional real estate sales into more investing and personal projects while keeping her commitment to community at the center.
Kristin describes herself as an open book and insists that what you see is what you get. She emphasizes a departure from what she describes as “a culture that rewards polished perfection,” and invites people “to show up exactly as they are, without perfect hair, makeup, or a curated persona.” She wants entrepreneurs to have a place where they can be fully authentic, talk honestly about money and struggle, and still feel encouraged and supported.
No matter how Elevate expands, she plans to keep a free access point so that even entrepreneurs in tight seasons can find community and guidance. Long term, she hopes the services and products she offers will fund future grants and resources for the next generation of business owners. For now, her primary focus is growing the membership, refining her consulting offer, and helping more entrepreneurs move from survival mode to sustainable stability.
People who want to plug into Elevate can start with the free monthly networking events and then connect with Kristin on Instagram @TheKrisinPomroy, where her recent content lays out everything they need to know to get started.
