It's all here from the initial decision to choosing an area of specialization, picking a school, applying for financial aid (the advice and Web sites on this topic alone are worth the price of the book), preparing a resume, interviewing, and acquiring a professional designation.

Customer Reviews

Only contains info on the sales/broker career
I was disappointed in this book since I was looking for information about the appraiser profession. This book is focused only on the sales and broker careers and only dedicated 3-4 pages out of 207 to the appraisal career. The title of this book should be changed to reflect this.

Perhaps if this is your first job...
I ordered this book and "Your Successful Real Estate Career" by Kenneth Edwards. I preferred the Edwards book. Since I am just at the beginning stages of exploring real estate as a career possibility, I thought that a good survey book like this would be helpful. But it seems geared to someone who is new to the working world, and even then there are about 100 pages of padding. Lots of info on training programs at community colleges all across the country, how to pick a college, info on financial aid, how to land your first job (very basic resume and interviewing stuff) etc. It might be helpful to someone who is entering the working world, but otherwise you can find the same training requirements info on the Internet in half an hour. The best chapter is the first one, which provides an overview of the type of jobs available in the field (new territory for me).
