The Champion Real Estate Agent: Get to the Top of Your Game and Knock Sales Out of the Park Paperback – Illustrated, November 27, 2006

Since becoming a REALTOR, I've spent a lot of time researching the business-side of real estate. Many writers claim to give you the "inside story", but always fall short. It was my hope that this book would fill in the void that licensing and CE classes don't cover.Dirk is the only writer that pulls back the curtain, and shows you how really sell real estate.Whether you're new to real estate, or an old hand - you'll learn something from this book. Dirk provides specific information about all the facets of working with customers and clients, determining who is and who is not a lead, lead generation tips, marketing to your sphere, ROI and much more."The Champion Real Estate Agent" should be required reading for all agents, to save them from having to "reinvent the wheel" in their business.

Use in training new Real Estate Agents in my business. Good introduction to the real role of a Realtor (beyond the "I love houses" refrain we hear too often. This is the first of five books I require new licensees to read and report to me on.

Been in the business for 5 years and this book really helped me understand and breaks down the multiple hats worn in this business. This book gives you detail into the mindset and ways of working each system. I highly recommend this book.

Very good book for real estate agents no matter if you are a beginner or been in the business fir over 30 years. It's all about the basics!

This book is good. It get's you going. My complaint is that he doesn't elaborate very much. He doesn't "go into" stuff in detail like I wished he would have. As a new agent I was left with more questions. But it gave me a good foundation to work with and some good ideas. One of the best bits of advice was to constantly educate yourself by listening to CDs and reading more books. Don't buy this book thinking this will be the end to your search for how to become that top agent... it won't. But it will get you going, get you thinking, and hopefully get you investing in more material.

What a great guide for building a business in Real Estate.

using it with all of my agents

I have read dozens of marketing books over the years. I am a CPA and run a real estate team that produces well over 100 transactions per year.This book brought be back to the basics of running a business of selling, yes I said selling, real estate.I am going to read it again. Maybe twice.
