Don't Waste Your Money., November 29, 2005
This review is from: Five Steps to Real Estate Success: What Every Successful Real Estate Agent Knows to Beat the Competition (Real Estate Exam Prep. and Career Guides) (Paperback)
While I don't enjoy writing unfavorable reviews, this "book" deserves it. The so-called advice is mostly nonsense. I was hoping for some insight from some industry superstars, but instead I got filler that anyone trying to fill space could have written. This razor thin book has over 50 pages of Real Estate Glossary words and "Power Words and Phrases." Nonsense.
Also, advice like, "The negotiated contract typically goes first to the buyer's and seller's attorneys for review." (page 102)...is total BS. Where oh where did the author get this nugget! Not in the real world, but probably from some other RE advice book she researched that was is also wrong. If you are uncomfortable reviewing real estate contracts for your clients, then maybe you should consider another profession.
Other, much more informative, realistic books on the business of real estate sales that you might consider are: Real Esatate Marketing and Sales Essentials, by Dan Hamilton, or Mastering the Art of Selling Real Estate, by Tom Hopkins.

GREAT BOOK FOR BEGINNERS, March 21, 2006
This review is from: Five Steps to Real Estate Success: What Every Successful Real Estate Agent Knows to Beat the Competition (Real Estate Exam Prep. and Career Guides) (Paperback)
This book is a valuable basic tool for all those new to the field. The other review seems to be from a meansprited competitor.
