I am currently reading a book by Gary Keller with Keller-Williams and he says that brokers do plan on their income and must learn from models and following up to get a customer to sign a listing contract.  

Thanks, Gary

Gary Oleski is awesome.  

I like The Millionaire Real Estate Investor, Gary Keller; and I read The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy (which is actually self-improvement so sorry but I still found it relevant/useful to investing) And earlier this year I read Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant.I think I'll also be substituting REI blog posts for books most of the time, because I feel like I get more honest, straightforward, actionable content. 

Stay out of GARY! 

Hi Gary,Yes, i'd recommend Blake & Pulsifer in tempe az

., The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller, any of the bigger pockets books in the store or resources section, The ABCs of Real Estate Investing.Just a couple to get you started.  

Read The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller.

I just read "the millionaire real estate investor" by Gary Keller(for those who didn't read it I highly recommend this book, and it also recommended by many, including Biggerpockets on the top 20 real-estate book page) and I learn there the "zooming in" concept.State-county-city-neighborhood-streets....After learning the market you should have your APB(All Property Bulletin) , which means specific criteria for your property."3bd/2bath, brick, year 2000+, 2 garages, basement etc..."
