I bought this book hoping it would provide insight on commericial real estate, how to enter the business, the structure of the business etc. Instead, I found a superficial instruction that would for most people be regarded as common sense. For example the book expounds on guidelines used in choosing a company to work for or how to conduct one’self once employed. To me it is obvious to inquire about the perks of the various firms or agencies and compare them in order to find the most suiting job. I do not need to be told not to worry when I do not get an office when I am first starting out nor do I need to be told to stay organized or to otherwise act professional. THIS IS COMMON SENSE. It would be one thing if these didactic sugestions were accompanied by some sort of ensightful, helpful information. For this reason I find this book infurriating. Platitudes and otherwise banal commentary abound in this book.

This books is a must read for real estate agents who want to ramp up their sales and brand new licensees who wish to hit the ground running. This is book is the bible for no-nonsense strategies for selling more real estate. I highly recommend this book!
Rating: 5 / 5
I didn’t find this book very helpful. It has a lot of personal comments and one person’s opinions on being a sales agent but there is no information about other real estate careers. To find out about other jobs like real estate appraisers and commercial real estate agents (where the big money is), look for the book called Real Estate Career Starter published by LearningExpress. It was much more comprehensive and included more helpful and specific info on real estate careers.
Rating: 2 / 5
A must read for those truly serious about suceeding in Real Estate. Highly recommended.
Rating: 4 / 5
If you are thinking of getting into real estate than this book should be on your must read list!! It starts off slow but gets moving once you’re through the first three chapters. Packed with tons of information on real estate and the different areas you can venture into. It will give you a good broad picture of how the industry works and what you can expect. There is also a ton of resources in the back from websites to questionnaires. I also appreciated the author’s unbiased viewpoint. The book will not steer you in any one direction but simply give you all the information you need to make your own informed decision!!
