Never Try to Negotiate with a Drunken Homeowner

...and 800 Other Things Every Real Estate Agent Should Know

Earning a living as a real estate agent is not easy. The hours are long, the work challenging, the clients demanding, and the pay sporadic. Most who embark on a real estate career don't last more than a couple of years before throwing in the towel. Of those who continue, many are in a constant state of struggle, never knowing when (or even if) their next listing or sale will come. What is it about this profession that causes so many bright and energetic people to fail? Perhaps the better question is, "What is the difference between agents that succeed and agents that fail?"

The answer lies in what they know. Most real estate agents do not know what they must do to succeed. It's that simple. Longtime real estate broker, mentor, and trainer Matt Williams has observed the practices of successful, as well as unsuccessful, agents for more than 30 years. In this book, Matt shares the things agents must think, do, and say in order to succeed.

Best RE Book those entering this profession.

Absolutely gold. Love it. Listening again. The advice listed in this book is invaluable. Thanks!!

Every real estate agent needs this book!

Especially if you're new, because he goes into detail into just about any situation that may arise - things they don't teach you in school. You'll want a notebook to write down important notes (he recommends other authors'books and I recommend his as well). I'm not even finished and feel it's that important to share his books. well worth six times the price!

Best Real Estate Book I've Listened to Yet!

I also downloaded the Kindle version so I can have it on my phone. There are some lists that I wish I had gotten the day I left school. I highly recommend this book, & I've already sent it to two real estate friends. He does not mess with your time either. His stated goal is to give you valuable information even if you only have two or three minutes to listen. He delivers that promise.

So much GREAT information packed into this one!

This book is packed with tons of great information that a new agent will find invaluable! This is 3 hours and 8 minutes of mentorship. Just finished this and going to see if there's a paperback version I can pick up for reference. Solid and useful information and guidance on just about every facet of Real Estates sales. Thank you Matt Williams for sharing so much. So many books in this space are written purely to push the author's coaching services, this is not one of those. It's a solid read/listen start to finish!!!

Great information!

I have been in real estate for 12 years. this book helped me to realized what is important and what is a time waster. I will listen to it again
