Summary: Great book for Real Estate Agents
Review: I read alot of Real Estate Sales books and I really enjoyed this one. This book also takes into consideration many tools that people use today to make Real Estate agency more efficient. Tools in everyday life such as computers, email, and the like. What I like most about Tom Hopkins book is that he gets down to the nitty gritty of the thought process of your potential customer.

Im a Real Estate agent that has gone under many Real Estate training seminars and read many books. Most of these training sessions focus more on scripts and handling the most common objections you'll come across as an agent. They focus on a particular way to prospect, present, and close. Thats fine and there's nothing wrong with that. However unless you understand the reason behind why those scripts work, or the reason your asking or responding in a certain way, then you wont know how to respond when you have a more aggressive customer that is also familiar with those same scripts that your blurting out and has built up defenses against them.

Tom Hopkins book gives you the tools, ideas, and a deeper understanding of the Real Estate sales process so you can adapt more quickly to adverse sales situations or create your own style of salemanship that works with your personality. Many Real Estate Sales books and seminars fail at this by telling you exactly what to do and when to do it, not taking into consideration if whether or not their particular style fits your personality. I've seen many very successful agents with completely different styles of prospecting, presenting, and closing. Some styles are even contradictory to each other but both Real Estate agents are very successful. Why is this? Because beyond the obvious differences in style, the successful sales process all share the same things in common. Tom Hopkins shares those characteristics in this book.
