This book is a complete waste of time and money. It lacks any substance whatsoever and will do nothing to provide you with dominant traits for commercial real estate brokerage. I am so disappointed that I am actually writing a review here, something I have never done before. I think the only way I will feel whole again is if I can save someone else the disappointment.I'm pretty confident every other review before the date of mine is fake.The writing is absolutely horrible and it is more or less a list of the achievements of a bunch of successful people. No real explanation of how to achieve that success.I'd like my money back.
This is a book that should be read by any commercial broker who is looking for more ways and ideas to up their game and ALL new commercial brokers coming into the business for inspiration and tips on how to succeed as a commercial real estate broker. It's chock full of stories, examples and guidance. The author has created a book that will help anyone who wants to become a successful broker. In fact, it should be required reading for any new broker coming into the business.
A must read for any broker at any stage in their career, manager, executive, industry related vendor, commercial property owner and those interested in what it takes to be successful in this business. Also a great read for those who think it is "so easy" to make a buck in real estate...you will be proven wrong.Fascinating with similar themes. There is no shortcut to success.
I opened a Sperry Van Ness Commercial Real Estate Office back in 2003. Rod helped lead Sperry Van Ness to become the fastest growing CRE organization in 2004. Rod Santomassimo inspired and challenged SVN Advisors to think outside the box. The market has changed so much since 2003 and brokers / advisors need every possible tool in their belt to insure future success. New agents and seasoned agents will takeaway lessons they can apply today. I had the pleasure of knowing several of the brokers profiled in "Commercial Real Estate Brokers Who Dominate". This book is worth every penny. Thank you Rod, for stoking my fire. I look forward to seeing you and thanking you in person soon. Best wishes for you and your readers in 2014. Leslie H Cox, CCIM
Besides luck there are 2 ways to achieve success. You can figure it out yourself, often through trial and error, or you can find someone else who has already accomplished what it is you are trying to accomplish and do what they did. Both require hard work, however, the second method is much easier and faster. Brokers Who Dominate is full of ideas and strategies of top producers in the commercial real estate industry. You can take these ideas and strategies and make them your own. Chances are you may even find yourself in one of the many broker stories in this book. And it is and enjoyable read.
This book is more about finding the reference points and at large practices top producers utilize to remain on top. This isn't a nuts and bolts instruction manual and I believe was never intended as such.The author does a terrific job in succinctly cutting to the root of the matter and delivering essential top performance insights from those in the industry who sit atop the brokerage business.
Great book about successful people in the industry. If you need someone to look up to in order to get that extra bit of motivation, here's a book full of great people to get inspired by from all walks of experience.
Real life examples of successful brokers each with an interesting combination of challenges and skills and all sharing a strong strain of perseverance. Will keep this book close by and refer to it often...
