Product Description
There is perhaps no more challenging job in real state than that of the first-time agent. According to the National Association of Realtors, 86 percent of new real estate agents don’t make it past their first year, and most of them give up due to frustration and the overwhelming start-up costs involved in the industry. But there is an untapped resource that will help you take your career to new heights–the For-Sale-By-Owner (FSBO) listing. Many homeowne… More >>
The Real Estate Agent’s Guide to FSBOs: Make Big Money Prospecting For Sale By Owner Properties
Got a little bored with this one. Practical advice for Americans, but not so practical for New Zealanders. Our style is not as forward as the American style. We wouldnt last very long if we were so forward. That said, if America was where I was based, I’m sure this would be a handy tool.

Actually I am still in school, I have my california state conditional license, and I ordered this book to support my education. I also got mike ferrys book, 6 figure income in real estate. Most important for these books in teaching and confirming what I have already studied in school. 95% of the new agents entering into the profession, will be out of the profession inside a year. It is a huge responsibility to be in charge of your own time with no boss telling you what you should be doing with your time every day, both books highlight what you should be doing every day. I have hit rock bottom in my life financially, the only direction to go is up, with some work I can have something. The things, and financial reward, are impressive, and also the reward of handing the new owner the keys to their new home. I will be looking for work soon.
The books, both of them are full of ideas, and entertaining, as well as they pump me up with new energy. There has been a lot to learn to get passed the DRE state license exam, and continue with 2 more college classes. I feel like I was being overwhelmed by all the information that is new to me, but by getting these books, and reading them, I feel like I am doing more than the other students, that are only taking the course material.

The information contained in this book that relates directly to FSBOs unfortunately is lacking. There is good content, but it is more in the form of general information rather than focused on FSBOs. As such, I would recommend it for new real estate agents, but not for those looking for a resource on FSBOs.

This book is o.k. There are useful insights and some good information in here. There were times, however, where the author seems to be treating the reader like an idiot (but, then again, there are a lot of them out there…)
I suspect that an experienced real estate agent would consider this fluff. To the newbie, however, it’s worth picking up for a few bucks.
Some value but not recommended.

This is a great book, but you have to keep in mind the do not call laws.
