Sell with Soul: Creating an Extraordinary Career in Real Estate without Losing Your Friends, Your Principles or Your Self-Respect
Jennifer Allan-Hagedorn - 2008
Largely autobiographical, the author shares her rise from a nervous rookie agent to a successful real estate broker in Denver, Colorado. The book also contains detailed instructions and checklists for many of the activities a new agent must master, such as building a contact database, learning the market, working with buyers, marketing listings and negotiating inspections. Allan-Hagedorn also shares more than 60 stories from her own career - some positive and others not-so - that will help the new agent better understand her cautions and recommendations. Sell with Soul also speaks out against the status quo. Allan-Hagedorn describes the differences between the "Old School" philosophy of real estate thought and her own "soulful" philosophy. She asks agents to consider the needs of their clients first, before considering their own personal need for a paycheck. She counsels them to welcome every "learning experience," even when the experience does not result in a closed sale. She urges new licensees to strive to be competent and knowledgeable before they ask the general public to honor them with their business. Many new agents have written to tell Allan-Hagedorn how her book gave them hope that they could succeed without sacrificing their principles or changing their personalities. Even experienced agents have expressed that reading Sell with Soul changed the direction of their real estate careers.

There is an exciting movement afoot that involves a skillet, a few good knives, and some fresh ingredients: Home cooking is making a comeback.In The Family Cooks, David inspires parents and kids to take control of what they eat by making it themselves. With her long-time collaborator, Kirstin Uhrenholdt, David worked up more than 100 recipes that are simple, fast, "low in the bad stuff and high in the good stuff," and designed to bring kids into the cooking process. The authors also demystify cooking terms and break down basic prep techniques, creating stress-free meals that foster health, togetherness, and happy palates.
