Are you a Houston area real estate agent looking for a little extra guidance in your career? There are literally hundreds of real estate books out there from self proclaimed gurus looking to pull you into their "funnel" and ultimately get a piece of your business development budget. Some of them, we have found, are real estate "coaches" who have never worked as a real estate agent in their life. Steven Ross is not one of them.
 
Literary publisher Ignite Press has announced the release of Doors Open When You Knock: A Realtor’s Handbook for Boundless Opportunity and Freedom, by real estate and coaching expert Steven Ross. The book is available on Amazon now. 

The Houston area is an incredible market in which to be a real estate agent. The opportunities for business are literally endless if you know where to look. As someone who spent a few years as a real estate agent in Houston myself, I can attest to the fact that sometimes you just have to knock for the door to be opened. Doors Open When You Knock presents tried-and-true business practices to help any real estate agent build a more successful real estate business.

“This is not a ‘how-to’ book, filled with detailed instructions and action plans,” says Steven. “Rather, this is a guidepost. This is a place to come back to when you feel yourself veering off course. This is to get you back on the road again, moving with grace and ease.”

To celebrate the launch of the book, the Kindle version of the book will be on sale for 99 cents for a limited time.

Steven Ross might be the “worst type of person to be a real estate agent” because he is an introvert--no parties or events, he doesn’t work nights or weekends, and you can’t find him online. Some may even think he’s a little lazy and anti-social. Yet, he built a successful real estate business twice by persisting and excelling at one thing and one thing only: knocking on doors - over 125,000 of them. He has become an expert in taking difficult action over time and connecting with people in a way that turns strangers into fans.

When it comes to representing sellers and buyers in the Houston real estate market, it helps to be armed with as much knowledge as possible about the communities you work in and the various ever-changing factors related to the industry in those communities. When I was a real estate agent here in Houston, I spent at least 2-3 hours per day simply reading up on the Houston real estate market and the individual communities in which I sought to work within. Your clients want to know that you are the "expert" in their market armed with the knowledge and the skill to get the job done, get them the best price for their most valued asset and make the process of buying or selling a home in Houston as quick and painless as possible. 

Check out Doors Open When You Knock: A Realtor's Handbook for Boundless Opportunity and Freedom if you are looking to expand your knowledge and build your confidence as a Houston real estate agent. This is not one more book with tips and tricks to double your business overnight. Instead, it deals with the uncertainty and seeming randomness of real estate. Houston Real estate can take people by the horns and toss them around. Doors Open When You Knock is about wrestling control back so that you can leave chaos and uncertainty behind, creating a business and a life that brings joy and fulfillment.

This book explores what is possible for you—if you are willing to look.  It is about being clear.  Taking intentional action over time.  Developing patience and gratitude.  Being responsible.  Because if you want boundless opportunity and freedom, it doesn’t happen by accident, it happens on purpose: Doors Open When You Knock. 

Originally from Southern California, Steven began selling real estate there in 2005. He built his second real estate practice from scratch after moving to Colorado at the end of 2008. He currently resides with his family in Centennial, CO.
