Death of a Real Estate Salesman


Book Description

Ever wonder what a realtor does to deserve a disproportionately expensive 4%-6% commission on the sale of your home? They claim to offer unlimited exposure and transaction expertise and to act as an irreplaceable mediator in the negotiation process. In reality, what they provide is little more than a concierge tour service to show your home, and is that really worth $20,000 on the sale of a $400,000 home? In Death of the Real Estate Salesman, Jarred Kessler describes how advances in technology have rendered the traditional role of the real estate agent meaningless. He describes how emerging Internet-based tools will enable homeowners and prospective buyers to find each other with zero commitment, zero uncertainty, and zero realtor involvement. Buyers will be able to find their dream home more readily with less distrust in the process, and sellers will reap the financial rewards of not losing tens of thousands of dollars to a realtor with a competing agenda. By learning his process, you will open your eyes to the new world of real estate, which is just around the corner in a desirable neighborhood near you.

Selling Sacred Ground


Book Description

Selling Sacred Ground takes an in-depth look at the real estate sales process and whether or not the real estate agent will be relevant or worthy of replacement in the marketplace. With over 5 million homes selling in the US every year, our growing DIY culture is asking if the traditional real estate agent is worth the commissions paid in all of those transactions. After all, traditional “experts” such as travel agents, stock brokers, and even doctors have been forced to adjust their roles with sites such as Expedia, Charles Schwab, and WebMD available to the public. Whereas most real estate resources are focused on how to get more clients and even more money from those clients, long-term veteran Craig Farestveit addresses how to actually do the job well for clients. A sobering how-to for those considering a career in real estate, Selling Sacred Ground looks at what a good real estate agent actually does in the sale of the home, helping those buying or selling decide if an agent is worth the cost and guiding experienced real estate agents to growth in a changing marketplace.
