Solid Overview of Real Estate Sales Career
This book accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do: provide a realistic overview of the life of a real estate agent. I am considering getting my license and found this book answered many of the basic questions about the job: the risks faced by a new agent, how to succeed in your first year and beyond, and the rewards of a long career. A good book if your just starting to do your research on the topic.

Awesome supplement to RE licensing course
Once this book arrived in the mail, I could hardly put it down! I am currently taking the course, and was looking for some of the more specific details of the business that the course fails to teach. The author does an excellent job of separating his personal opinions, but still uses an honest approach to sharing his personal experience. Also, the text goes a little more in depth about agency - really helps as an aid to studying for the licensing course. This book doesn't lead a new agent to dangerously believe that he or she will make a lot of money in the first year - and actually tells you what will cause you to fail in your new career. Although I would have liked to see more information about careers in real estate besides simply being an agent, overall I must say this book is tremendously helpful to a new agent.

This book is garbage
I bought this book hoping it would provide insight on commericial real estate, how to enter the business, the structure of the business etc. Instead, I found a superficial instruction that would for most people be regarded as common sense. For example the book expounds on guidelines used in choosing a company to work for or how to conduct one'self once employed. To me it is obvious to inquire about the perks of the various firms or agencies and compare them in order to find the most suiting job. I do not need to be told not to worry when I do not get an office when I am first starting out nor do I need to be told to stay organized or to otherwise act professional. THIS IS COMMON SENSE. It would be one thing if these didactic sugestions were accompanied by some sort of ensightful, helpful information. For this reason I find this book infurriating. Platitudes and otherwise banal commentary abound in this book. Similar Products
