Each of seven “Styles” is reviewed in detail, helping you to understand the concepts and marketing tools for success.

I read this book in 2012, about 10 years into my real estate career. Even at that point in my career, it was a game changer. I think that every licensee should read this book before they start their real estate career. It provides a blueprint for what kind of lead generation you should focus on relative to your personality type and skill set. Highly recommended.

I bought this book by recommendation of my friend and was completely glued to it! We all come to real estate indutstry thinking about being successful on learning from the best. But what perfectly works for ones, won’t work for others. So, no wonder that 50% of agents are done with their real estate career by the 5th year. When I started reading this book, it made so much sense to me, what type of approach I can use to move forward, what fits me as a person. This book is everything you need to get on the right track…
Highly recommend! Must read!

When you get started in real estate, out of love your brokerage will hand you a stack of documents, guides and a list of 50 things you can do to be successful in real estate. While all of that is fine and dandy, it’s highly unhelpful if you try to do all of them or mimic the top producers in the company whose style is not at all what you would prefer to do. I love that this book says it’s okay to embrace your personality, your strengths and play to the market and people of what makes you enjoy doing what you do -instead of trying to be like everyone else. If you’re tired of being confused, making lists of items to try but are procrasti-working instead of being excited to talk to people who want to work with you, then give this bad boy a read. It’s well worth your time to make a plan that excites and motivates you, rather than be drained and frustrated.

I wish I had this book when I started in real estate! This book should be required reading for new licensees. It is also VERY helpful for seasoned real estate agents that want or need to increase their production; while doing things that are comfortable to them. The book demonstrates success methods based on your style of interaction with people. No fluff, just good, honest information. This book is a must have for anyone in, or looking to go into, the real estate industry.

Seven Styles is a must read for all agents and would be agents. I have been a Realtor for 33 years and it was not until I read Bruce Gardner’s Seven Styles that I finally understood that I had value as an “atypical” agent. While I knew I served my clients, I did not feel I was the typical agent. I felt that I was less valuable than the typical agent. Mr. Gardner helped me see my value and how I could further develop my expertise and become a more valuable agent in both my client’s and my eyes. Thank you, Mr. Gardner :-)

This book really gets away from the “Cooker Cutter” approach to Real Estate sales…It is the first reading that I have come across that allows the Realtor to identify their personal strengths and be able to more effectively initiate their marketing plan.
