Publisher's summary

Written specifically for real estate lenders and real estate agents by someone who has had phenomenal success in both professions, A Guide to Making It in Real Estate stands out from the crowd for its clarity, simplicity, and humor.

Whether you call yourself a "lender," a "real estate agent," or a "commercial professional," author James R. Carter points out that you are essentially the CEO of your own small business - as well as the VP of marketing, VP of operations, VP of finance, "Director of Attitude," and lead sales representative. That's six hats. You are responsible for 100 percent of your success, and in order to thrive, you need to be strong at four essential areas: finding deals, doing deals, managing money, and keeping your head straight (marketing, operations, finance and attitude).

Carter offers insight and advice that lenders, real estate agents, and anyone interested in the real estate business will likely find useful - whether you're just getting started or simply need inspiration. In fact, the principles outlined in this audiobook make it an excellent resource for any type of small business owner.

2nd listen before review

Definitely a good book with lots of nuggets.
Maybe too many quotes. I see alot of authors add a bunch of inspirational quotes that Ive seen on my social media timelines quite frequently.

Straight forward with good actionable advice.

This is a good listen. The author narrates his own book, which I prefer, and he does it in a way that is no frills and straight to the point. The book contains good advice that you can act on immediately to grow your business. Audible 20 review sweepstakes entry.

Great advice in a perfect format

This is a great read (listen). The format and writing style is rapid fire. There are numerous but short chapters allowing the listener get a meaningful nugget of information in those times when you have only 15 minutes to fill or a block of time to listen. Because the author gets right to the point on each topic or idea, you have to listen carefully. He is not going waste your time setting up, making and then repeating the point. The author is mindful of time management as a theme in the content AND in the way he pins this valuable resource. No doubt his success is a result his efficient use of time with laser focus on the important matter.

Missing the practical aspects

There were enough key points to get somethings out of the book but I would have been satisfied if there were more practical examples on how to succeed and what to avoid.

I love the book it was definitely in depth

great book lots of details and examples well-thought... Very easy to follow and very good insight in a good refresher if you've been in real estate for a while... And if you've been in real estate for a while they still will help you get some pointers that we might overlook...

inspirational first read for a beginner

Filled with seemingly important notes of advice and personal stories. I took notes, finished the book, and plan to read it again!
