This has great marketing ideas on how to show your listings throughout your particular niche, whether it be condos, waterfront, land, commercial, etc. For instance, setting yourself as an expert in your community with the local press about a specific niche will help you in free advertising. This is a superb book covering good ground for any real estate agent or even real estate investor.

 Motivational book to get you started. November 14, 2006
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
I began my career in real estate in July 2004 with a company called Keller Williams, which the author founded, therefore I was required to purchase and read this book. While my relationship with Keller Williams did not pan out past two months, I will say that this book was an excellent starting resource. For the most part, it inspired me to get out the door and prospect, discussed budgeting, some broad marketing ideas, and goal-setting. Specific marketing ideas were not discussed in detail, which is not the purpose of this book. The purpose is to inspire and discuss basic business fundamentals as a real estate agent. [If you are looking for specific ideas, I recommend going to a CRS event... it's amazing what agents from other markets will spill that local agents won't share.] Once completing this book, I was on fire and wrote a very detailed "action plan" stating exactly what I would do each day for the next 1 month and held myself accountable to this each and every day. This was updated month after month. Thanks to the focus this brought me, I closed $11.3 million my first year! At the point I was at in my real estate career, that was the "pearl" I received and utilized from The Millionaire Real Estate Agent. I know that when I pick up the book and read it again, now a few years later, something else will speak to me as I am at a different point in my career now.

Excellent Book About Becoming a Real Estate Agent November 5, 2006
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is fabulous for anyone that is thinking about becoming a Real Estate Agent. Written by a millionaire Real Estate Agent, the author researched a lot of very successful Agents and distilled the formula for success. This book is a detailed plan on how to become a Millionaire as a Real Estate Agent from someone that not only successfully applied all this knowledge to himself but complemented it by studying other people that are also high achievers. This book is fascinating to read, entertaining, full of decades of experience. You don't have to re-invent the wheel, all you have to do is follow the clearly and easily detailed road map to millionaire. I am doing it and it is working.
Have a successful business AND a life + security for the future September 28, 2006

My sales went from $2.7 million in 2004 to $8.5 million in 2005. Now we're heading to towards $12 in 2006. Hot dog!
But it's not about the money! It's about being the best I can be. I have more time for my friends, family, and I am out of town enjoying myself about 8 days per month. Mostly weekdays... And I have the security of knowing that I am on-track for the business to run itself while I am unavailable for vacation, semi-retirement, or if something happens to me. (!!)
All it took was the change of MINDSET and mode of operating that I learned from The Millionaire Real Estate Agent: It's Not About The Money.
Gary Keller gives you the formula for success in Real Estate. MREA (Millionaire Real Estate Agent) DOES have plans to help you make more money. YOU identify what you want your Net Gross Commission Income to be, and how many weeks per year you want to work. KELLER shows you how to draw a map from that future goal, backwards, to where you are now. Then you can start your journey, step by step, to success. Simple.
Keller likens your approach to becoming a successful agent to training for your first marathon. If you had set your goals for only 10 miles, you would work long and hard and painfully to hit that mark in a few months. However, if you had set your goals more long-term to run the full 26.2 miles AND had a plan to get there, you would be breezing through that 10-mile mark with ease and grace. It would have been a foregone conclusion that you would have that 10-mile level of success.
The marathon is a great metaphor for real estate. How far can you run or walk comfortably right now? 1 mile? 3 miles? If you got up early and ran or walked and ate right and had a plan, you know that you be able to run or walk farther, faster AND you would probably be in the best shape of your life. The confidence and success you would feel would spill over to your improve your personal life.
Think of each mile as $1 million in production. $1-3 million is attainable by accident. After that, you need a plan.
Unlike the marathon, you don't have to get up and do a bunch of stuff you weren't doing before. You are going to be doing the same real estate stuff you were doing already, just a little differently. Ultimately, you get to sleep in!
By the way, my clients love the service they get from The Joe Barfield Group and they are delighted with their results... That feels good.
