This is a very helpful and down to earth book. The author is a real estate agent and really knows what he is talking about. The book is a little repetitive but it helps a person remember the topics better. I am glad this was the first book on being a real estate agent that I read. I am onto another book and it is very dry compared to this book. If you want an overview of what it takes to be a successful real Estate agent I would highly recommend reading this book.
