home buyer: Maintaining Success in the New Real Estate Industry
- 09/15/07 04:58 AM
As you are aware, the upheaval in the Mortgage Lending industry has necessitated a change of strategy throughout the entire Real Estate Industry. The prior dynamic within the industry was that the professional attached to the client or property was the "hub of the wheel", so to speak, and all other individuals were, while necessary, incidental. That still remains true to a degree, but with one major change.

The simple solution for Real Estate Business Planning and Modeling can be found in the book The Millionaire Real Estate Agent by Gary Keller. This is one of those books that EVERY Realtor® should read, reread and put into practice. I'm not a Real Estate agent, but I've read it myself four times.
