About the Book

Whether you've been in real estate for 18 days or 18 years, if you haven't achieved the success you really want, you need to read this book. You entered real estate for the upside: interesting work, flexible hours, and the potential to make good money, right? But the median gross income for the 1.2 million REALTORS(R) in the United States is just over $42,000 per year!

That's about $21 per hour (if you only work 40 hours per week) with no paid vacation, no paid sick leave, and rarely any company health insurance plan. Is this what you signed up for? You're a goal-setter and a go-getter. You work hard and you're smart. You've learned the business and put long hours into it. Yet, it still seems like a struggle. Always chasing your next client, listing, or commission check. Spending weekends and evenings on work, not with family. Getting tossed around by a market you can't control. You've done everything you've been taught, but it's still not enough.

What's the secret? Doing things differently than you've ever been taught. Krista Mashore says, "I've been in the Top 1% of all Realtors nationally for 20 years, not because I'm smarter or work harder than everyone else. It's because I research and implement specific techniques that catapult me to where I am."

In this book, Krista Mashore will give you step by step instructions and show you how to:

• Close over 90% of your listing presentations before you even walk in the door.
• Generate legitimate leads while you sleep.
• Use the secrets of Fortune 500 companies to build an active and loyal client base.
• Use socialized marketing to gain your community's respect and become the go-to Community Market Leader(R) in your area.
• Make over 100 deals per year (or whatever your goal is) using the power of social media and technology. - Create a business model that fits your desired lifestyle and gives you true time flexibility.
• Build a sustainable business with a consistent, reliable income stream- no matter what the market is doing!

If you implement even 50% of what I recommend in this book, I know your business will at least double within the first eighteen months." - Krista Mashore Based in Northern California, Realtor(R) Krista Mashore sold 69 homes in her first year and has personally sold over 100 homes every year since. On track to sell 200 homes this year, Krista now also coaches and trains brokers and agents throughout the U.S. on cutting edge real estate techniques and technologies.

About the Author: Realtor(R), author, trainer and coach Krista Mashore developed a highly successful real estate career in Northern California before turning her attention to sharing the secrets to her success through her writing, coaching and trainings. Krista began her career in education, teaching elementary school and earning her Masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction on her way to becoming a principal. But in 2001, she chose to switch gears and pursue a career in real estate. Krista sold 69 homes in her very first year in the business and has sold well over 100 homes every year since, earning her a spot in the Top 1% of Realtors(R) in the nation. Krista's innovative approach flies in the face of conventional wisdom about how Realtors(R) should promote themselves and market their listings. She credits her success to her consistent drive for growth and learning, and applying the best practices and cutting edge technologies major corporations use. Through her books, coaching, webinars and courses, Krista now offers step-by-step instruction so others can achieve that same success. Krista lives in Northern California with her husband and three teenaged children. An active member of her community, her latest project is Teens Lifting Lives, a mentoring and peer support group that gives young people the tools and encouragement they need to achieve their own success. "The reason I love continually learning is that I know there's a better, more effective way to do almost anything-even if you're already good at that thing. That's why I dive into situations that might stretch my thinking and challenge how I do things. Learning even one small thing each day allows me to keep expanding into the next 'better way.' As importantly, I implement that better way and continue to improve on it." -Krista Mashore
