Who knows a great "Real Estate Guru" nowadays?

My partner and close friend is thinking about attending seminars regarding real estate, so he can quit his part time job and be a full-time Realtor. I am helping him seach some "gurus" out there, but so far, no luck. I've attended (many years ago) Mike Ferry and Doug Yeaman. I still respect their ideas, but I'm not sure how obsolete they may be in such a changing market.

I heard of Brian Buffini and a few others, but I am looking for suggestions.

Nilton - Pick up a copy of The Millionaire Real Estate Agent by Gary Keller. It lays out a great plan for moving from single agent to mega-team, and it's based on interviews with over 100 top agents from many different companies. For lead generation, there are the 12 Direct, 8x8, and 33 Touch programs. And if you want to get into investing, there's The Millionaire Real Estate Investor. Good luck!

I agree -- MREA is an excellent resource... The most important thing to remember is that you learn from many resources and it is what you apply and actually use that will make a difference in your career...

I couldn't agree more with Colleen. People learn and learn and learn and never apply those principles that (no matter their source) will help them in their career.

And Mr. Novak, I've got that book and so does my partner. I've read bits and pieces, but you convinced me to take the time and read it through...
