Synopsis

You have received your real estate license but where do you go from here? What questions do you ask, what do you start working on to help facilitate a successful career as a real estate agent? This book will help answer many of those questions. The book is written by a real estate instructor and owner of a real estate company with over 18 years of experience; it is a fun and easy to read field guide that takes you step by step in starting up your real estate career. Written in the format of a hiking guidebook it makes understanding what it takes to succeed in the business of residential sales by equating it to the steps necessary to successfully complete a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail. Although the book is written primarily for North Carolina real estate agents and references North Carolina real estate laws and commission rules, many, if not all, of the concepts and instructions can be used by any new agent in any market. A reader outside of North Carolina would want to check their states laws and rules to be sure they are in compliance.
