Insightful and Thorough

This book was perfect for me. I have dabbled at the idea of becoming an agent many times for the last decade- at one point even signing up for the exam after taking all the required courses. I was curious what the real estate world looks like right now and into the future. I wondered: Is this something I should pursue now that I am at my own personal crossroads again? I have learned so much and feel like my brain has been injected with current and relevant knowledge. I know what I need to do to be successful if I choose to jump in at this stage of my life. I was worried that I would be learning about only one person’s (the author) perspective but this book provides a thorough prediction (based on experience and data) of many experts in the field. I am so grateful to have found this book. I think it would be extremely valuable to experienced professionals already working in the field. I plan to share it with my real estate contacts- I am so curious to find out what they think!

a wealth of knowledge for anyone in Real Estate

This book is a wealth of knowledge for those new and veterans in the real estate industry. The way it's read in this audio-book is easy to follow, understand and digest. What I love about this book is it talks with industry experts from various domains for insider knowledge with actionable tips/insights. Highly recommend this for anyone on the go and don't have time to read the actual book, but a great listen for most agents who are always on the road.
