Agents - Favorite Training And Educational Resources?

Question

Agents out there - what books, podcasts, seminars, courses, trainings, etc have you used to become a better real estate agent?

Wow... you've covered it all already haha...

I'm reading Shift now but didn't know there was another E-myth version for REI, thanks for sharing!

Another good source of info on youtube is easy agent pro... great content. They're big on tech as well so they've got some great fb ad strategies.

Hey Paul!

I'd recommend:

EVERY BP book -https://www.biggerpockets.com/store

Millionaire Real Estate investing by Gary Keller - very practical book. Gary helps everything make sense by reverse engineering the goal of $1M income and getting that goal chopped down to actionable and measurable steps.

The E-Myth by Michael Gerber- Highly recommended no matter what type of business you’re looking to begin - RE Investing, construction, development, property management, etc. My main takeaway, treat RE sales like a business, not a job. Anyone can open a door to show a house. Thats a job. Learn the business, take the necessary action each day to work ON the business as well as IN the business.

Podcasts - Super Agents Live, Real estate uncensored

Regarding, seminars/trainings/courses - I prefer 1 on 1 coaching. There are some great resourses out there for trainings, seminars etc, but they're not my preference since they're for a broad audience rather than tailored to one's specific goals.

Best,

Abel

Thanks for the reply Abel! I've read the majority of the BP books with exception of some of the newest ones but I'll have to revisit the list. The Millionaire Real Estate Investor is a solid book along with his others like The One Thing, Millionaire Real Estate Agent, Hold, Shift, etc. The E Myth was for great for changing my mentality from an W2 employee to that of a business owner/entrepreneur for sure. The classic line "working on your business rather than in your business." Did you read the version he put out specifically for real estate investors? I passed on it since I couldn't imagine it would be very different than the regular E Myth.

I'll definitely check out the podcasts since I don't have any specifically focused on being an agent right now.
