Real Estate the Rome Way

Starting with no real estate sales experience but lots of enthusiasm and a thirst to learn, Margaret Rome had her first listing and first sale almost before the ink was dry on her license. The story of how she did that - and all that has followed - is what you'll find in her new book, Real Estate the Rome Way.

After successful careers as a pediatric nurse and a ceramic artist, Margaret Rome found her niche in real estate in 1990. It was not a good time to be a new agent - the real estate market was slumping and there were horror stories swirling through the industry of how long it was taking to sell a house. (Sound familiar?) Since she was new and didn't know better, she ignored what "everybody" knew about the market and proceeded to start listing and selling.

Real Estate the Rome Way is the ultimate guidebook for new agents and seasoned professionals alike. Here you will find stories that illustrate success strategies, and some that were learning experiences about what not to do. You'll learn the core principles that are the basis of success, and you'll see how they have worked in real life to build a highly successful and rewarding career as a solo agent. You will see that while you cannot automate success, you can use tools that will help you become a success - a lasting success - in real estate.

During booming real estate markets, many people jump into real estate seeing quick, easy money. When the market turns - as it always does - the agents who have taken the time to learn their businesses and build relationships are the ones who not only survive but continue to prosper.
