Given the susceptibility of the real estate market the past few years, it's imperative to approach an investment differently today. Brendon's unique perspective will help you determine your best plan of action and assess when the timing is right, from advice on if you should buy or rent to why listing your home too early may result in a lower sale price.

* 3 implications govern all buyers, sellers and real estate transactions: No matter the personality, generation, age of the client, or type of home being bought or sold, real estate will always have emotional, practical and financial considerations and implications.  These are at the center of any real estate transaction and it's imperative to know how to navigate various situations keeping these three fundamentals in mind.
* New players and technology are introduced to the real estate industry every day, but it's important to know how to use these services online to benefit your real-life transactions. In DeSimone's how-to real estate book, you'll learn how to access, apply and interpret the tools and information available to not only help you make the best choice, but also to save you money.
