21 Things I Wish My Broker Had Told Me

Our book for real estate agents, "21 Things I Wish My Broker Had Told Me" was developed after years of publishing the newsletter Real Estate Intelligence Report. Frank felt there were too many people going into the business who didn't have a clue what it was about -- while other books focused on "how to succeed," rather than, "should you even be here?" The result is a book that continues to be a national best-seller. To read more, Go Here.


21 Things Every Home Inspector Should Know

"21 Things Every Home Inspector Should Know" was the natural companion book to the brokerage book. The need for talented, qualifed home inspectors has never been greater. This book provides an extra nudge to men AND women considering this lucrative and rewarding business. To read more, Go Here.

 
 
 
You're Not Buying That House Are You?

"You're Not Buying That House Are You?"
was our first foray into consumer-oriented journalism. It offers America's home buyers more insight into the real estate process, and hopefully a little more comfort. This book contains more humor than the others because, quite frankly, the experience can be so daunting that a little humor helps. To read more, Go Here.


 
And fiction, for the fun of it ...                    
                                         
Pat and Frank also are working on mystery novels (Pat: "Murder Most Municipal," and Frank: "Cash Flow.") You can read Frank's short mystery story in the New England anthology
Seasmoke, published by Level Best Books.


 
 
 
  
 
Our Philosophy  
          The philosophy behind the "21 Things books" group is that while no one knows a profession better than those who practice it, no one can obtain key information from those experts better than professional reporters.

          We interview a variety of skilled individuals in each profession who share their unique views on succeeding in their crafts. This provides readers with a broad array of real-world expertise and tips for success, rather than the biased view of a single "expert."  
 
         We're always happy to discuss any of these books or our short stories, or our upcoming projects.
