Up and Running in 30 days by Carla Cross

This is an excellent vehicle for new agents. It is very specific and to the point to help new agents get off to a good start. I highly recommend it. Marilyn Hardison, Star Properties/GMAC, McAllen, Texas

It's a compass and map...

I love this book and I will tell you why. It gives you a compass for starting real estate that I've not found elswhere. No, it doesn't go into great detail on some things, but that's not what it's about. It's about getting going with a plan, collaboration with your broker and being tenacious in your work habits. That's what it takes to get going in this business. Believe me, I know. I'm going on 2 years in the business and am doing well, largely due to the insight that this book provides. It's about Prospecting with a capital P. It's about understanding that RE is a sales business. It's a business folks, and if your not ready to spend lots of long hours working the important stuff, like getting in front of 100 people a week, you should look elswhere for a job. Yes it cross sells her other books heavily. So what? I think that if there's a complimentary resource out there with the same theme all the better. She couldn't put everthing in this book. ITS A WORKBOOK, with tear out pages... It wasn't entitled "The Encyclopedia of Real Estate". It would loose it's purpose and message if it included EVERYTHING you need to run a WHOLE business. There are some pretty realistic statements in this book that you better pay attention to, or you will just be "playing real estate" like so many agents do. I guess the things I like most about it are: 1. It's action oriented, training you, not just teaching you 2. It gives insight into what the business end of this career is really like 3. it's concise, yet detailed in the areas that it's covering. A must read!

Simply the best quick start business plan for realtors.

Very logical, simple, yet through. This book pinpoints why so many agents fail in their first year of real estate. Lack of proper planning from a true business perspective. Excellent jump-start to get going in this industry.
