There are many different real estate books on the market, in fact, there are so many, it’s hard to find the one that will provide the information that you’re looking for. And let’s face it, who has the time to slog through hundreds of pages for the information that’s pure gold.
That’s what I liked about this one. Organized and clear, it’s easy to check through the table of contents to find what’s pertinent and what you can skip for another time. This book not only treats the profession of real estate agents as a business but the author shows you how to set up and make this career a successful business. She introduces three different stages of planning to make sure you have a step0-by-step program of your own to follow. Then she goes one step further and helps you to plan for success.
The author also discusses the job, the life of a real estate agent and even the ethics of the job. And in an interesting chapter that I have yet to see in any similar book, she discusses the balance of career and family, between the hours, the pay and how to set your priorities. That’s always been a challenge for me. There’s a solid chapter on going global through the use of the Internet with helpful sections on software and tips to become more technologically advanced over the competition.
What stands out are the interviews with experts in the business and the appendixes with samples of canvassing letters, cold calls and auto-responder letter. Glossary was remarkably comprehensive too!

Susan introduces you into the world of real estate in a very friendly and easy to understand manner. She takes all the finer points and the unsaid rules of being a real estate agent and lays them out for anyone to see. What really interested me was that she covered everything, from making the decision to go into real estate and how to choose a brokerage office all the way through setting up your business, marketing and advertising, networking with other agents and contractors to being the top agent in your area and real estate over the net. This book isn’t so much about making the actual sale and all the paperwork and lingo associated with it, but how to make yourself successful. She tells about how to find the right plan and tools to be successful and how to use them to the best of your advantage. I would definitely suggest this book to the newly certified real estate agents and those who know they want to make lots of money and have the drive to do it, but maybe don’t have the organization or a plan on how to get there yet.
