"The Real Estate Agent Talks: So New Agents Can Succeed in the Tough Conversations" by Matt Parker (Smith Publicity) should be mandatory reading for any new real estate agent. It's also a great book for homebuyers and sellers who want to understand how the real estate business really works. The book is filled with easy-to-read, personal anecdotes, practical advice and written in a casual style which makes us suspect the author would someday like to become a fiction writer. It also makes us more empathetic towards those honest, hard-working agents.
