“COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN. For anyone involved in the selling or buying of real estate, this book goes beyond just being for a sales person. The experience of Patricia Cliff is invaluable to those just starting out, or have been in the business for years. Don’t miss an opportunity to sit at the foot of a real pro.”
~ HJF
“Patricia Cliff sold me my first apartment 37 years ago. I’ve been her devoted client ever since. She knows more about real estate than all the developers and brokers combined. Happily, she’s now ready to share her knowledge — and her wit — with anyone with the good sense to read The Art of Selling Real Estate. Whether you’re selling, buying or just scoping out the market, this is the book to buy before you place an ad, put down a deposit or express an opinion. It’s also a hell of a lot of fun to read. I highly recommend it.”
~ Alan P. Levenstein
“There’s no shortage of real-estate how-to’s, but Patricia Cliff’s smart, entertaining, and up-to-the-minute compendium of practical expertise and creative inspiration is in a class by itself. As every successful salesperson knows, closing a deal means telling a story–and Cliff is a master storyteller. Her book is as engaging as it is informative, brimming with innovative sales strategies, and creative marketing gambits. Whether you are starting a real estate career, sharpening your skills, or simply want a unique behind-the-scenes glimpse of this fascinating field, THE ART OF SELLING REAL ESTATE is the book for you.”
~ JA Miller
“Cliff’s book is a stellar resource for those who want to compete in a field inundated with contenders, many of whom are inexperienced or lacking knowledge. Her insights, based on a rich history of industry leadership, are a perfect guide for the serious real estate professional who wants to get ahead of the pack. Experience is key in real estate and if you don’t have it yourself, one needs to search out insight and expertise from leaders in the field. This book provides that kind of invaluable expertise.”
