9 Steps: Know if Real Estate Sales is Right for You

Managing Real Estate Broker with Better Homes Realty DRE #01056789

According to a new study by America’s Research Group, a leading research firm, 26 million American households are living at near-poverty levels. Both parents are working two to three jobs; they have literally stopped shopping save for that rare day off, which is usually a holiday; and they shop for groceries between midnight and 5 am, the only time they have off.

As a real estate broker, I took six months off to write a book called Laugh Your Way to Real Estate Sales Success – For Real Estate Agents, WannaBes, UsedToBes, & Those Who Love Them. I did it to help remedy a serious need on the parts of many American households for a reliable, steady income that pays the bills and more. And I knew that many in this group of 26 million look to real estate sales to do just that. I also wrote the book as a warning to many that this field has an over 90% failure rate.

Real estate sales success may not be a quick, easy solution to feeding your family BUT if you are open to these nine steps, it may just be the road to success for you!

Thanks so much, John! I want "wannabes" to know what they're getting into. They can succeed, but it's work - don't we know?!

A 90% failure rate!  Had I known that prior to going to school, I may not have gone!  LOL  It's so nice of you to write, sharing this knowledge with those who may be considering it - and may not have the fortitude for it!

Cathy, love your title!  And a great sense of humor is probably the biggest asset you can have in real estate.
