The Millionaire Real Estate Agent

*** disclosure *** this review was written by a competitor to Keller Williams, the author of this review has no association with Gary or his companies.Damn you Gary!What can I say this book is awesome. If you are in real estate and in it because you want to create a great business this is an unbelievable resource. If you don't want the headaches of running your own team this is still valuable because you will understand the concepts and then you can go work for a great team, making great steady income with less stress and probably less hours. If you live in San Diego email me and I will hire you.I literally have taken notes while reading this book and are implementing the core strategies.I think this is the perfect book for new and old agents alike. If you are new you probably won't be able to implement this right away but it will give you the most valuable tool anyone could give you.... A direction. If you are an old agent and living month to month, then put down your BMW or Cadillac keys and Starbucks Latte leave your ego at the door and get cracking on the gems that are in this book.Honestly, the only mistake I think Gary made was publishing this book. He probably has created one or two significant competitors with his insights. I plan on surpassing his company and ironically with the information and direction from this book he lowered my timeline from 15 years to 5 years.If you are a go-getter, I sincerely hope you don't buy this book because it means we might end up being competitors, and who knows perhaps you will execute better than me and I will need to ask you for a job. If you are like most agents I have run into lately than go right ahead and buy it, I know it will collect dust on your bookshelf right next to your Tony Robbins tapes and dvd of The Secret and I don't have to worry about one more knowledgeable competitor.I hate to put more money in Gary's pockets but seriously this is the BEST book for agents and brokers that I have ever seen. Stop reading reviews, get out of your analysis paralysis and drop the best 15 dollars you ever spent.

Always good to learn from one of the people who changed real estate. I am an REA and appreciated learning from this books though it is 22 years old and probably outdated.The best thing I learned from this book is that it is possible to earn $1M a year. I used to think that $100K a year was a lot. I now realized that it is possible to make $1M a year with a business. It doesn’t have to be real estate.A lot of good comments in here. I am from Arizona. There were a lot of successful Arizonans in this book.

I learned a lot. Will be reading this again. Very informative and great "Grease for the wheels" for a newbie to RE. From being in a sales position before, everything that I know frome that was reinforced here. It has also shined a light on known problem areas, and what to avoid ...

Ill keep this short cause I see my opinion is shared by many other reviewers, but I found this book to be both inspiring and applicable, and much better than other real estate books Ive read, whether you are a seasoned realtor or a rookie. Heres why:1. Unlike other real estate books Ive read, its not full of fly by night "creative" ideas that may or may not work. Ive read several books that want to spend all there time talking about everything from FSBO's to borderline deceptive approaches. This book gives you more of ground up approach and encourages the reader to discover his own techniques for producing listings.2. Most real estate books Ive read are either too broad, or too specific. This book blends the two nicely, giving solid principles to form your practices on, and good ideas to sharpen your techniques, suggesting PRACTICAL ways of determining which methods work for you. Furthermore, it is NOT based SOLELY on what worked for the author, the information is based on empirical data gathered from the most successful realtors in the country. Very scientific approach.3. This book goes beyond how to close the deal with John Customer and talks about how to build a business from the ground up, and what to do on the way there.4. Finally, it gives dozens of histories of successful realtors which are fun and interesting to read.I highly recommend this book to anyone in the real estate sales field. Good read, inspiring, interesting, and practical.

I think this book gives real estate agents the framework for building their business to the best level it can reach. If you are looking for a how-to-guide, this is not the book for you. While it was an interesting read and some points (3 L's = Leads, Listing and Leverage) are neccessary to building a successful career, as a new real estate agent I think your time and research would be better if you focus on learning how to properly operate in the business with day-to-day activities and learn the industry first. Once you understand the basics of the business and what your role is, then this book would compliment what you've learned quite nicely! The business models are simple to understand and are explained in detail in this book. My only recommendation or critique of the book is that it's a little outdated; Gary might need to do another version with more current interviews and data from real estate companies. Overall I think there's value in this book and if the principles are applied correctly, one can build a super successful Real Estate Career/Business.

Whether you are new to real estate or a seasoned agent this is a must read...Great information n

It’s a MUST read book. The outcome is in the name! BUY IT!!

Great classic!

Incredibly concise throughout.Very helpful.Any real estate agent should read this

Pas uniquement utile pour devenir millionnaire mais pour monter une vraie entreprise moderne et innovante

Sistemas y procedimientos que todo agente inmobiliario debería implementar en su día a día para maximizar su tiempo y mejorar su productividad. Muy interesante. El enfoque es muy americano pero se puede adaptar al mercado español, con una visión diferente a la tradicional. El agente debe autogestionar su tiempo y su trabajo y crecer mediante la creación de su propio equipo.

I don't aspire to become a realtor, but we're opening a real estate agency, so it'll be usefulI would have liked more practical examples.
