Your first year in real estate will make or break your career - here's the playbook nobody hands you on day one.
Most new agents don't quit because they lack talent. They quit because nobody warned them about the unpaid ramp-up months, the silence between "just licensed" and "first closing," or the burnout that comes from unlimited hours and zero guaranteed pay. Your First Year in Real Estate is the survival-and-momentum guide written specifically for brand-new agents - not veterans, not team leaders, not agents with a decade of sphere already built. Just you, a license, and a phone.
Inside, you'll find a realistic, step-by-step system built around the actual first twelve months: a 90-day momentum plan broken into Setup, Conversation, and Conversion sprints, a method for turning your existing contacts into your fastest path to a first closing, prospecting strategies sized for someone with no budget and limited time, and word-for-word language for the conversations that make new agents freeze - asking for the appointment, explaining your commission, and answering "how much experience do you actually have?" honestly and confidently.
What's inside:
- The three phases every new agent moves through - and how to survive the middle one
- A day-by-day, week-by-week 90-day plan for building unstoppable momentum
- How to turn your sphere of influence into your most reliable lead source
- Lead generation methods that don't require a marketing budget or a burnout schedule
- Scripts for lead follow-up, listing presentations, objections, and asking for referrals
- A full walkthrough of your first buyer deal and your first listing, start to finish
- How to protect your time, your energy, and your bank account during the unpaid ramp-up
- A financial survival guide covering taxes, reserves, and irregular commission income
- Tools for handling rejection, slumps, and the self-doubt that convinces good agents to quit
Perfect for newly licensed agents, agents still working their first ninety days, and anyone who feels like their training left out the part where you actually make it to your first ten closings. Includes a 90-day checklist, a scripts cheat sheet, a glossary of first-year terms, and a list of twenty common first-year mistakes - a genuine bonus toolkit built right into the book.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
