I read many of the how-to books because I wanted and needed to hit the ground running in my new career. This book, by far, was the most information-packed and practical guide to starting a real estate business. (By the way, another excellent book is "How to Become a Power Agent in Real Estate" by Darryl Davis). I am an attorney and before starting my real estate career, I had my own law practice; and before that, I had my own computer consulting company-both successful ventures. I approached real estate from a businessperson's perspective and this book difinitely speaks to the serious businessperson. There are so many books and articles telling new agents where to spend their time and money that by the time the agent figures out what works and what doesn't, they have spent their entire budget and an entire year, and have not made enough money to move on. That's why 70% of new agents drop out of the field by the end of their second year. This book helps agents, new and seasoned, stay focused on the bottom line. Moreover, it answered the most important question for me--If I need to generate $80,000 in income per year (salary, not gross commissions), what activities do I need to do and how much will it cost me? So many of the other books and articles claimed to have the winning formula by telling you that you must knock on 50 doors per week and make 50 cold calls per week to generate business. Their theory is that it must be painful if you are to be successful. This book, however, gives you lists of ideas and says if you do "x" number of activities from this list, you can expect to receive "x" number of transactions per year. YOU get to pick which activities you perform (if you don't like knocking on doors, pick another activity--it does not have to be painful for you to be successful). The other books tell you that you must know a lot of people--friends and family--and that you MUST call and hound them in order to get business. This book, alternatively, says that if you do not know a lot of people (if you are new to an area) or if you don't want to call your friends and family and beg for business, you don't have to. It gives you the formulas so that you can determine how much marketing you have to do with the "people I haven't met yet" group to generate the same results as you would have with your "friends and family" group. Using this book as a business modeling guide, I closed just under $3 million in volume in my first year; and just over $7 million my second year. I already broke through the $6 million volume cap that many seasoned agents hit as a glass ceiling and cannot move beyond. My broker with my first real estate company (Long & Foster) was hostile to my business model because she didn't understand it and because I was taking control of my own career. She wanted me to follow her formula and she wanted me completely dependent on her for my success (even though she never provided me with leads). Then Keller Williams came to Maryland! (Gary Keller, the author, founded Keller Williams to empower real estate agents to run their own successful businesses). I joined Keller Williams and now I am surrounded by agents and brokers who realize that the business is mine and that the broker's role is to support my success. They do not believe, like so many other companies, that the agent's role is to make the broker rich. This is obvious by the fact that they offer one of the highest commission splits in the industry, without charging a monthly "desk fee," and they share the profits with their agents! And their entire culture is based on the "Millionaire Real Estate Agent" business models. If you are serious about approaching real estate as a business, you must read this book.

Can one book successfully sum up what's needed for a successful real estate career.....yes. I've been a real estate broker for 11 years and I've been to and heard just about every major "real estate trainer" out there: Wickman, Buffini, Stumpf, Kennedy, Ferry, Knox, Droz, DeLuca, etc. What they all offer are specifics of how they were successful realtors in their time. Which is really helpful, but what sets this book apart is that Keller looks at the challenge of treating your real estate sales career like a business. There is real wisdom here, not just about having a "successful" real estate career, but life balance, and personal fulfillment through our real estate business. I know a number of other agents who have read this book and one thing I've heard a few times is "I wish something like this was around when I got into the business", which are exactly my thoughts. Keller has kind of a tough love approach to spelling out exactly what is involved in true mastery as a realtor producing at a very high level. Another thing I find interesting is that this book could be about any industry, any career. The disciplines and business concepts he describes are universal. Keller starts with the open questions of essentially "what would it take for an agent to succeed at a really high level, and let's use a million dollars as a kind of random goal." He then builds with 1) finding the motivation within to climb this mountain, 2) How to earn a million, 3) how to net a million, 4) how to receive a million in passive income (a true business owner), and finally 5) how to put it all together with the key of focus driving your business. Keller has a direct common sense outlook and writing style which I found refreshing. This book applies to the new agent as well as a realtor who is already producing at a high level.

It's worthless! Why did i buy this book? I was cheated! I doubt that all the positive review are from the insiders. Don't fall on a trick! don't take my word for it, walk to the Barnes & Noble and find out yourself! Was this review helpful to you? ( Report this ) 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: The best book on how to succeed in real estate , November 29, 2005 Reviewer: R. J Sharpe "Texkabob" (The Republic of Texas) - See all my reviews This book is an excellent tool for a beginning agent or an experienced agent who wants to take his or her business to the next level. It is especially valuable in the following areas: 1. Lead Generation - the book is crystal clear about the fact that real estate is a lead generation business. The authors provide quantifiable models to generate leads that work, provided that the agent is disciplined enough to follow and stick with the program. 2. Budgeting and Marketing - Too many agents make the mistake of spending money they don't have. The authors stress the need to spend out of profits (red light, green light) and stick to your budget. The top line is important if you want to feed your ego and be agent of the month. The bottom line is important if you want to live a really good life. 3. If you list, you last - The authors stress that agents should prospect for listings. This is extremely important. Listings are inventory, and as with any business, the person who controls the inventory is the person who will profit the most. The beauty of inventory in real estate is that you don't own it, so you don't pay the carrying costs, run the risk of loss or theft etc as you would in most other businesses that carry inventory. Without a listing inventory, you are vulnerable to the market. With a listing inventory, you are the market. One area where caution is warranted is in the hiring of staff. The authors are decidedly pro-team, and that's fine, but too many agents add staff too quickly and kill their bottom line as a result. It's helpful to look at the profiles in the back of the book and determine how many transactions per year per person these top teams do. Unless you leverage your staff to do more transactions per person than you can do alone, you might be better off growing staff more slowly than quickly. That's a minor gripe, though, and the authors do an adequate job of explaining the risk. Overall, this book is the best source of knowledge on how to structure a winning residential agency business that I've come across, and it is well worth the price of admission.

I turn to Kellers book almost weekly. I went from no sales and no listings to 3 listings in 3 weeks since reading his book. Just his 8x8 touch technique alone was worth the price. This book is not for everyone. If you are satisfied with your career as is then you will not go the extra effort Keller suggests. For the serious Realtor looking to go out on their own, this book is the roadmap on how to do it. My ten year plan is to develop the skills and relationships needed to go out on my own. This book will take me there with some hard and smart work. Just the fact that Keller has such details in one book is amazing. Everyone from Michael Gerbers to Tony Robbins systems are in this book. What makes it a classic is the fact that the book can combine such a wide range of information in a clear and simple format. Thanks to Keller for writing such an inspiring book. Much Success!

From lot(s) to acreage. Raw land is usually valued at a 90-120 day "quick sale" price to determine loan-to-value ratios. Nearly all building and development begins with the purchase of raw land. Yet in the current environment, many lending sources will not make loans on raw, undeveloped land. Unimproved land, or raw land, with no plans for improvement is the hardest type of property to secure a loan on because it is in essence a speculative investment. Raw land has no added improvements like sewers, utilities, streets or structures. A raw land loan will have higher down payment requirements and a higher interest rate than an improved property loan. Some lenders require a 50 percent down payment, but you should be able to find a lender that will only require a 20 percent down payment. A local lender that is familiar with the property will be more willing to work with you on the loan than a lender unfamiliar with the area.
