When Brad Bevers started in real estate fifteen years ago, he wanted to learn as much as possible. But after reading all the real estate books he could find, he quickly realized he needed to ignore the collective wisdom on becoming a successful agent. He would go on to grow his business more than twenty times his average income from his first few years.
If you love making cold calls, smiling like a mannequin, and scream-selling your way to the top, this book is not for you. For those who would rather build a strong business the right way, 'The Mental Game of Real Estate' gives you the map to succeed.
In this book, you will learn:
• The (only) four ways to make money on a property
• Psychological principles that will build rapport fast
• A Negotiation 101 crash course
• The crucial skills to making a killer first impression
• Three closing techniques that won’t make you feel slimy
• And much more
Brad’s goal with this book is to let you in on the principles he has learned so that you can get started faster and serve your clients more effectively, while putting more money in your pocket. May this book help you on your real estate journey!
Interview with Brad Bevers
As a writer, what would you choose as your
mascot/avatar/spirit animal?
The Tiger (because I love
Vaillant’s book, The Tiger)
How many hours a day do you put into your writing?
When I am writing, I write
intensively every day. My goal is 1,000 words a day, which takes me just over
an hour to an hour and a half.
Do you read your book reviews?
Yes. I’m also an Amazon Vine
Reviewer and have been a top 1,000 reviewer on Amazon . . . have written my
fair share, figure its only right to read others.
Do you leave hidden messages in your books that only a few
people will find?
Nope.
Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in The Mental Game of
Real Estate?
Non-fiction, The Mental Game of
Real Estate.
Can you tell us a little bit about your next books or what you have
planned for the future?
This one took a lot out of me. I
want to focus on another one next year, but I’m still taking in feedback and
working through some ideas. I would love to write fiction one day as well, to
me that is a lot more impressive than writing non-fiction.
Do you allow yourself a certain number of hours to write or do you
write as long as the words come?
Write until I hit my goal.
Do you have a certain number of words or pages you write per day?
For this last book, 1,000.
What inspires you to write?
Helping people and growing my
business. As a non-fiction writer, there are huge benefits to writing that most
business owners don’t take advantage of. I love to write because I get to grow
my business and help others at the same time.
Would you rather
Read fiction or
non-fiction?
I love both (read over 100 books a year, 135 or so in 2019)
Read series or
stand-alone?
Stand-alone. Most series don’t hold up in my experience,
unless they are short.
Read Science fiction
or horror?
Science fiction
Read Stephen King or
Dean Koontz
Stephen King
Read the book or
watch the movie?
Read the book then watch the movie
Read an ebook or
paperback?
Paperback
Be trapped alone for
one month in a library with no computer or a room with a computer and Wi-Fi
only?
Library with no computer
Do a cross-country
book store tour or blog tour online?
Cross-country bookstore tour. Going to book stores around
the US sounds awesome, whether I’m speaking/selling or not.
About the Author
My name is Bradley Bevers and I’m a real estate broker in Chappell Hill, a small Texas town located midway between Houston and Austin. I’ve sold real estate full-time since I graduated from Texas A&M in 2004.
Despite starting off in the family business, I struggled in real estate for many years. It was hard to know exactly what to do and how to do it, and I did not get off to a fast start. I was able to sell almost three million dollars of real estate my first year, but then the market stalled, and I failed to sell even one million dollars for the next three years. Despite having a business degree and being a born entrepreneur, I made a lot of mistakes along the way and learned mostly through trial and error.
In 2017, I sold over seventeen million dollars of real estate. My income has gone up more than 20 times since those early years. Out of almost thirty agents, I’ve been the top producer in my company for six years in a row. Now, I want to share what I’ve learned so you can get a jump start on your own career.
If you’re looking for a book that will give you the secret sauce to cold calling, social media prowess, or working for-sale-by-owner and expired listings, this book isn’t for you. I’ve never made a cold call in my life, and I post on Facebook once or twice a year. If you want to make more money, build your reputation the right way, and avoid some of the pitfalls of selling real estate, then this is the book you’re looking for.
