During his journey, he has witnessed hundreds (and maybe thousands) of agents fail in this business -- which he firmly believes is a shame. It took Dan more than two decades to learn the sales and persuasion techniques and more than one decade of mastering them in real estate sales to produce the content that makes up this book.

FREE Webinar June 11th 1pm "The $90,000 expired seller call" www.davidihill.com/events WHO IS ALBERT I focus on creative and innovative problem-solving. I choose to look at challenges from a geometrical perspective. My background and the challenges I have faced as a young immigrant who moved to America alone, facing homelessness with only a few hundred dollars in my pocket, have taught me quite a few things. I learned that when facing adversity and uncomfortable situations is when people grow. It's when they become stronger and smarter. I learned that through commitment, perseverance and hard work almost anything is possible. If you adopt a solution based mindset and you choose to embrace, choose to love fear, instead of letting it overwhelm you, you can achieve so much.
