What HGTV Won't Tell You About Real Estate Top Realtor Spills the Tea on America's Most Misunderstood "Profession"You probably wouldn't trust a part-time doctor with your health, or a part-time lawyer with an important case. But every year, millions of Americans trust what is likely their most valuable asset-their home-to real estate agents who don't have the training or experience one typically associates with a "professional." The fact is, there's a lot more to real estate than what you see on House Hunters, and most agents aren't exactly eager to pull back the curtain.Until now.In this honest, revealing and often-hilarious book, Greenville, South Carolina Realtor Joan Herlong shares her strange-but-true adventures from more than 30 years in the real estate business. From her days as a newbie working for a national megafirm, to building her "one-woman shop" into a thriving partnership with one of the top real estate agencies in the world, she'll share real-life stories of client conflicts, aggressive agents, and the secrets she's learned along the way. Packed with expert insights into what buyers and sellers need to know, plus valuable advice for anyone considering entering the field, the book has something for everyone, including a behind-the-scenes account of Joan's own appearance, alongside her daughter and son-in-law, on HGTV's House Hunters.
