 This Book Got Me Fired December 6, 2003
21 out of 43 found this review helpful
After reading this book four times I applied the principles described in this book and got myself three marketable listings in eight days. My creative ideas for farming postcards are more attractive and far funnier than any sold in catalogs. I was emailing, talking in person, and telephoning prospects from seven in the morning until seven at night up to seven days a week. My broker called me aside and said, "Marcia, I have to let you go, you are so aggressive you are scaring everyone in this office. I am afraid you are frightening customers." I had only been in the business three months so I am now broke, selling plasma and cleaning a few houses. As a single mom, facing a destitute Christmas is hard, but I keep smiling. I will save up enough to start over again: do the same things Darryl taught me at another office, (only under my broker, fellow agents and the support staff's radar screen). If you are an new agent who knows how to hide your light under a bushel basket, buy this book!!!
 Better books out there on same material December 4, 2003

If your looking for a quick read that scratches the surface of a lot of real estate basics, you'll like this book. If your looking for something more in depth and detailed, skip this one and go straight to Tom Hopkins "How to Master the Art of Listing and Selling Real Estate". I may have enjoyed "How to Become a Power Agent.." more if I had not already read the Hopkins book.
I Thank My Lucky Stars....... September 19, 2003
9 out of 12 found this review helpful
I thank my lucky stars and my friend, a long time real estate attorney who formerly worked for the California Department of Real Estate, for connecting me to "How To Become a Power Agent." Having been a licensed real estate agent in vacation properties for 6 years, last year I was desperately searching for training material to help me segway to the residential market in a new area. I received an email from my friend simply stating, "If I was going to read 1 book on real estate, it would be this one", with a very favorable review attached from the local Monterey Herald. Upon taking his advise I found the book to be both well written and well organized, easy to reference, with good, solid information on every aspect of my career. Unlike other books I had found, this book had up-to-date material that was applicable to current market conditions and technologies. The "how to" strategies offered excellent structure and form for new techniques, while encouraging me to "make them my own" by infusing my own style suited to my circumstance. Anyone with the least amount of creativity and enthusiasm for their vocation will find, as I did, the material is extremely useful for all clients from the first time buyer to the sophisticated investor, through all client service phases from prospecting to building lifetime relationships, and for all levels of expertise from novice agent to experienced veteran broker. I went on to commit to Darryl's yearlong "Power Agent" seminar with exhilarating results! And this is the book that started it all! Thank you Darryl for your service and commitment to our industry
The best Book, no matter how many years in Real Estate! August 21, 2003

As a seasoned real estate professional, you sometimes think you know it all, and as a new agent you wish you did. This book has the information to either kick start a new career in real estate, or give you the boost to plan for an early comfortable retirement. Darryl Davis is a powerful speaker, and this book is nothing short of having him speaking directly to you. Read the book several times, you find something new each time! Great Book!! You must have it to streamline your production!
How to Become a Power Agent in Real Estate July 18, 2003
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
This is the best book that I have ever read regarding real estate. I am a some what new agent and after reading this book have made myself more focused and it is WORKING. I plan to follow it for the full 12 months. I have nothing to lose and by the looks of it have everything to gain. In just a few short days of using the techniques in the book I have made great leaps in my career. Good for me the other agents in my office haven't read it, bad for them of course. This is a must read for all new real estate agents.
