SHIFTS happen…

Markets shift, and you can too. Sometimes you'll shift in response to a falling market, and other times you'll shift to take your business to the next level. Both can transform your business and your life. You can change your thinking, your focus, your actions, and, ultimately, your results to get back in the game and ahead of the competition. The tactics that jump-start your business in tough times will power it forward in good times. No matter the market-shift!

SHIFT explores twelve proven strategies for achieving success in any real estate market, including

  • Master the Market of the Moment: Short Sales, Foreclosures, and REOs
  • Create Urgency: Overcoming Buyer Reluctance
  • Re-Margin Your Business: Expense Management
  • Find the Motivated: Lead Generation
  • Expand the Options: Creative Financing

5.0 out of 5 stars The real estate book for today's market, October 4, 2008
SHIFT is the tool that the real estate community has been waiting for, real, hands on guidance, to steer Realtors through the changing market. We were all told it was coming, we were all braced for the change, but only Gary Keller took the time to teach us what we needed to do, not simply to survive, but keep our businesses growing. In the pages of SHIFT lies the answers. Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect "How To" manual to master the market of the moment, October 4, 2008
By Daniel D. Harker (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After to close to 15 years in the business, I can honestly say I've seen the best and worst a market can offer anyone who's practicing real estate. Being used to a great or average market, it was tough knowing what to do when this shift occured. Thankfully, I was introduced to do this "how to" manual. It touches on every issue an agent has to confront on their way to successfully beating this market. This is a must read for every serious real estate practioneer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not great, November 30, 2008
By John Coley (Lake Martin, AL) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I am glad I bought this book. I bought and enjoyed the Millionaire RE Agent and RE Investor.

That being said, I don't think it is a great book and that's why I gave it 3 stars. I think the author is a little too dependent on scripts and formulas to work your way out of a slump. If he would update it a tad to account for the fact that most consumers are extremely averse to script heavy agents, it would have been better.

But I do like the fact that he is inspiring, and stresses the can-do attitude that hey, no one's coming to help, you have got to do it yourself. I appreciate that inspiration. I wish he would have written more on that.

On the other hand, if you are a less tech heavy agent, you will like his very detailed and practical methods. It is not my cup of tea (yet, maybe the shift will change my mind!).
