Yesterday morning and during training we (Keller Williams Agents) were given the announcement that Gary is at it again. This time he has written a buyer book called, "Your First Home." In it are photos of the authors first homes, explanations of appreciation and more. It will become the STANDARD given to all my buyer clients upon signing of a buyer brokerage agreement.
Here's the official word:

This product will be available at Family Reunion in the KWU Bookstore for $12/copy or $100/10 copies.

I'm looking forward to the next set of books. Although KW tends to have a MLM or Book Club mentality on some things, everything from top to bottom I have received has been quality.
Joshua, have you had a chance to read the book yet? I'm getting ready to order a bunch myself. Nice post!
I am really looking forward to reading this one... and giving them to clients is a great idea!
Irina - I think you'll be pleased. I've only read a few parts of it, but it does a great job of not being too preachy about using a Realtor. It also reinforces a lot of the same questions and answer stuff that most of do all the time.
Steve - It's nice to hand them the book after they sign the buyer brokerage. It kind of adds some sort of value in their mind I think. I like it.
I am looking forward to reading this one as well. First time home buyers are my specialty. Each book that they write is filled with so much great information. I am proud to be part of the Keller Williams team. Joshua, maybe I'll see you at the family reunion in February!
Thanks Joshua,
I'll buy at least one of those for my sons. My oldest son has already read Gary's red book and his blue book. I hope they inspire him to get his license!

This is a good book gave it to some potential home buyers.
