Where were you Gary?

As a Realtor for almost 2 decades, I basically had to learn on my own, and through the school of hard knocks and trial and error. I have always been successful, and withing my 1st year in the real estate business, I was one of the first realtors in my state to develope a team approach to Real Estate. Since then, I have fought with every Broker I worked for over the Team Approach to the business. Brokers simply did not understand teams, and consequencly they put obsticles in our way. Certainly there was no support or mentoring on how to work more effectively as a team, rather all we learned was trough trial and error.

It is so refreshing to read about how to build and develope a team, and from the mouth of a Broker! WOW what a suprise, and music to my ears...

Imagine that a Broker who actually understands, supports, and encourages Teams. Keller Williams is on to something, and I predict they will establish a new yardstick by which all the rest in the real estate business may be judged.

My team and I are employing many of the things we have discovered in the pages of the Millionaire Real Estate Agents, and I am sure it will make our business skyrocket beyond our wildest expectations.

I just wish I had the opportunity to read this book years ago!

Thanks a MILLION!

Fabulous book BUT Horrible Narration!

Where does The Millionaire Real Estate Agent rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

3- wonderful information but horrid narration. Sounds like a used car salesman screaming at you the entire time. Gary Keller can afford someone at least descent!!

Who was your favorite character and why?

No characters

What didn’t you like about Kyle Hebert’s performance?

I wouldn't hire Kyle to read anything. He's a used car salesman screaming like one solid commercial.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

N/a

Any additional comments?

This is incredible information that you need to listen to over and over. Would buy again if read by someone else. Worst narration I've ever heard!!!

A road map for running a business

I thought I had a business until my son was born and had to have open heart surgery. As soon as I was taken out of my business I realized I had nothing more than a glorified job with a 1099, no Health Insurance, 401K or paid time off. It was then I realized I had to do things differently. As I started to assemble my team I was courting a KW agent. Through this process I realized MREA had the road map I was looking for and left RE/MAX and joined Keller Williams. In 12 short months I went from being a single agent to achieving the 7th level. Read on and you'll know what I'm talking about. I dare you to have a business and not just a J.O.B.

Fantastic info for a new or seasoned agent. I learned a lot!

Needs an update as the world has changed since it was written. As an example there's a lot of talk about advertising in newspapers. It also doesn't take into account discussing adverse time like 2008 recession.

Great Potatoes, Where's the Meat?

In the interest of full disclosure, I am a real estate broker and I am very successful. I am not a Keller Williams agent and never have been. With that little tidbit out of the way, let me say that I think this book is great to give experienced and succesful real estate agents a skeleton of what a real estate business should look like. The only problem that I see is that this book will not tell you HOW to generate the business to become a "millionaire real estate agent". It merely tells you how to leverage your highly successful real estate practice into the next level, creating a team and making your personal real estate business function like a real business. While I think that this book is helpful and very truthful, I can't help but think that most agents that pick this book up are newer and want to know HOW to get business instead of advice on hiring multiple buyer agents and becoming a CEO of your own personal real estate business. The book talks quite a bit about creating a real estate business that nets a million dollars. Great. Sign me up. The book merely tells you that you need to sell 300+ homes a year. Gee, I could have done that math. This book does very little in the way of talking about how the mega agents that are mentioned and quoted in the book market themselves or their services. The bottom line is this; if you are a successful real estate agent and want to take your business to the next level read or listen to this book 5 times and follow its advice. If you are new and want to start creating business, skip this book until you are able to generate enough business to keep yourself busy. This book won't tell you how to be successful finding and marketing to clients, only how to organize yourself when you are ready to advance beyond being a solo practioner real estate agent to a "team leader".

Outdated and annoying

Sounds like used car sales tactics and there is a ding that goes off every few minutes..

Same old

Cold call and beg for business. Harass friends and family. Create a culture of zero respect. There IS a better way

The WORST Narration of All Time.

What would have made The Millionaire Real Estate Agent better?

Kyle Hebert is the WORST speaker on the planet. He reads EVERY sentence with the MOST annoying emphasis possible. It sounds like a used car commercial. It is IMPOSSIBLE to just sit back and listen because his emphasis AND inflection. This guy ruined the ENTIRE audio book. Don't bother. Just get the actual book and read it.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Nothing with Kyle Herbert narrating, that's for sure.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kyle Hebert?

How about Gary Keller, the author.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Read the book yourself. Skip the audiobook.

Great, informative, a bit outdated information

Absolute respect for this book and the work that went into it as it’s a great baseline for the RE industry. I’m not with KW, but this is a great book. Put a lot into perspective for a lot that I have already done myself, but it’s a great refresher and lays down an idea for further growth in the business. Unfortunately a lot of the numbers and agents asked to take part in this book is dated and mentioned business in 2001. It would have been great to see this information updated as technology and markets have shifted tremendously over this period of time. I do recommend this book, but definitely have an open mind and take that into consideration when reading/listening.

Good Book on Building a Team

Would you listen to The Millionaire Real Estate Agent again? Why?

The Millionaire Agent gives the knowledge of how to be successful by using a Team. Found several items to put in place in our own business.Follow Up Follow Up is a Key and Out Source as much as possible.

A motivational poster audio book 🤢

This book is just a vapid collection of dollar store proverbs that would be better suited on a motivational poster.

The reader sounds like a crappy infomercial salesman. stop upward inflecting at the end of every sentence it's not a substitute for cadence. I'd rather have Barry Scott read this or Billy Mays for you Americans.

Waste of money and time

The book is not getting straight to the point. It is going around circles while trying to keep reader attention using massive cliches.
"What is the opposite of myth? Truth! Only truth can set us free! "
No concrete example is given about how to apply the principles listed. 🤦‍♀️

Great book

Very insightful book with practical examples to follow. Highly recommend any aspiring real estate millionaires to read/listen to this book!

Loved it!

Really easy listening with varied speakers and great content. Would highly recommend this book .
