Doing searches for audiobooks and pod casts i find a lot but they are all pretty much related to real estate investing not real estate sales. ANyone know of any good links where there may be some good stuff to download to my ipod to listen to while im working out?

Hi, I wasn't going to post a reply because I don't have a podcast up and running yet, but since no one responded I thought I'd let you know that I'm putting one together that will be primarily for newer agents (although some of the stuff I learned after years in the business.) It always kills me that when we start out we sometimes have to lose clients or spend a ton of money over something that someone could have just said "Psst - don't do that" - or something along those lines. :)

I can PM you when it's up if you'd like - I'm curious, what specific topics were you hoping to hear about?

It seems like you might be interested in self training and continous improvement. I've obtained more value self-taught than from anything provided from my broker or anyone else for that matter. You may want to sign up for the daily emails from LowesRealtorBenefits.com and inman.com/. I often print off their articles and read them while waiting at the barber, medical offices, etc. They may even offer podcasts. Hope that helps.

Here are some great links to free real estate sales audio training...both streaming and downloadable. Hope the information is helpful:

I loved the "wealth building Wednesday" series (link above) from KW. However, funny thing happened:

I used to be a fairly high producing agent at C 21 back around 2001 and earlier. I decided to return to my former career b/c I grew tired of working weekends. I recently decided to start selling RE again for lifestyle reasons (want flexible schedule), with the plan that I will limit weekend work to certain hours (e.g., from 2 or 3 to whenever on Saturdays).

Anyway, I listened to the WBW series on KW. I was pretty excited, even in this market, so I decided to call them instead of my former broker at C21, just to see what they had to say (in particular their team approach was something lacking at C21, which intrigued me).

So I called the KW office nearest me, psyched from the info on the website. The agent proceeded to tell me that now is a terrible time to enter the market, I probably wouldn't make any money, would have to spend lots of money, nobody attends open houses anymore (which is how I made a killing when I used to sell), etc. All BAD news. That slowed me down, for sure. A few weeks later I decided to call my former broker, we had lunch, he really wants me to come back to his office, we get along great, he was optimistic that market would turn around and at the very least I would be set and ready to POUNCE (!), etc.

Just funny that KW website inspired me, but KW agent was a real downer. :)
