Last week was incredible! After more than three years of research and writing, we brought two huge publishing 
projects to the finish line. I'm proud to announce that Green Your Home and SHIFT Commercial are both available for pre-order and will be released on September 19 at Mega Camp.
These are strange bedfellows, I know. So here’s a bit more about our two newest books and what they can do for you, your clients and your business.
Green Your Home: Healthy, Money-Smart, and Sustainable Living Begins at Home
Green Your Home is written with the real estate profession and her customers in mind. We started our research by asking the question: “Why do homeowners green their homes?” Most individual go green for three primary reasons:
1) Health
2) Money
3) Sustainability
I was a bit surprised to see health at the top of the list, but with the growing number of children and adults that suffer from asthma and allergies—health is top priority for most. Here’s how it works. The Green Your Home model divides your home into three areas—the Inside Zone, Systems Zone and Outside Zone—so you focus your efforts appropriately. Each zone is loaded with green action items from simple DIY projects like converting an old toilet into a low-flow model to more advanced ones like sealing the envelop in your home so you can heat and cool the inside your home instead of the outside. Here’s what our friend Stefan had to say after he read the manuscript:
“Common sense brilliance! With this engaging guide, Keller Williams Realty
opens the door to greening your home and shows us that striking a balance
– for your health, your wallet and the planet – starts where you live.”
- Stefan Swanepoel, New York Times best-selling author of Surviving Your Serengeti

SHIFT Commercial: How Top Commercial Brokers Tackle Tough Times
Buddy Norman and I started working on SHIFT Commercial in the fall of 2010. Buddy is a 20-year veteran of commercial brokerage and president for KW Commercial, and he felt strongly that commercial brokers needed a companion to Gary Keller’s best-selling handbook to navigating the real estate recession, SHIFT, which was aimed at residential agents. We identified top commercial brokers across the US and Canada who were growing their business in these challenging times and documented what they are doing to achieve growth in literally the toughest market since the Great Depression.
In SHIFT Commercial, we share proven models, tactics and insights from top brokers who are thriving in this market including:
- Lead Generation – What are the best ways to identify and connect with motivated prospects?
- Lead Capture and Conversion – Getting more opportunities to present your value proposition and getting more exclusive representation agreements from those meetings?
- Internet Lead Conversion – Proven strategies for revving up your business online without spending a fortune.
- Creative Financing – How to get deals done when financing is beyond challenging.
- And eight more powerful strategies.
Our first endorsement for the book was from Henry White and the CCIM Institute and it’s one we’re proud of:
“Not only an extraordinary, pertinent publication for the times we face, but
also a super guide for newcomers and a refresher for those who have
labored long and hard in the commercial real estate industry.”
- Henry F. White, Jr., Executive Vice President and CEO, CCIM Institute
Here are some of the cool extras we’re making available for everyone who pre-orders the book:
► Receive an exclusive invitation to the "Understanding the 12 Tactics" webinar with author Buddy Norman.
► Receive 75 free leads from ProspectNow.com.
► Buy 10 or more copies and receive a spiral-bound version of Gary Keller's national best-seller, SHIFT.
