Outstanding guidebook for real estate agents/Realtors!, March 23, 2010
by Kent R. Dills
Shift is truly a guidebook for real estate agents/Realtors old or new, IN ANY MARKET even though it's marketed as (see the title) helping agents through the current "buyer's market". Many agents - with experience limited to the booming "seller's market" we experienced in the US between between 2001 and 2007 - were (and some still are) SHOCKED by the shift in the market and what that did to their business, income, lifestyle, etc. Gary Keller explains what happened (and how it's happened before and will happen again) and what the options are for real estate agents. Those that choose to tough it out and stay in real estate, can learn viable strategies to get leads, convert the leads to contracts, and close and get paid in the current market. In fact, the strategies can (and will) be aptly applied in any market.
Tip/hint: Gary recommends taking the book to a local office supply store and having them spiral bound it so it can be used as a field guide of sorts. VERY GOOD IDEA. Thanks for awesome book-delivered coaching/mentoring Gary!!!

Good but not great, December 1, 2008
by John Coley
That being said, I don't think it is a great book and that's why I gave it 3 stars. I think the author is a little too dependent on scripts and formulas to work your way out of a slump. If he would update it a tad to account for the fact that most consumers are extremely averse to script heavy agents, it would have been better.
But I do like the fact that he is inspiring, and stresses the can-do attitude that hey, no one's coming to help, you have got to do it yourself. I appreciate that inspiration. I wish he would have written more on that.
On the other hand, if you are a less tech heavy agent, you will like his very detailed and practical methods. It is not my cup of tea (yet, maybe the shift will change my mind!).

Mindset is key, May 11, 2009
by Barry Arthur
Like his Millionaire book, the ideas in the book are not rocket science, but the foundation is great and I believe the way he lays out the book is better than anything else on the market.
One of the keys that too many agents and brokers miss is mindset. You have to be looking at every situation the correct way. There are opportunities in every market, even this one.
Great read!

Great guide to these tough times, August 17, 2009
by Mariusz Skonieczny
In this book, the authors introduce readers to the Twelve Tactics for Tough Times, and I believe that if agents follow them, they will increase the chances of making it during this recession. The good thing that many of these tactics do not require you to spend much money, which is key in this environment. If you like other books by these authors, you will love this book and it will give you inspiration.

The writing is easy-to-follow and understandable. Anyone can apply the methods and, if you do, you should find yourself doing great in any economy while others flounder and fail.
Highly recommended.
