The audience for this book is primarily consumers who plan to sell or purchase a home in the near future. The book provides insights from top agents who discuss the keys to making the best deal on a home sale or purchase by working with an experienced agent.
We’re planning 8 to 10 chapters in the book, with each chapter featuring a different real estate professional. The participants are being geographically spread out across the United States and no two will be from the same metro area – so no direct competitors in the book.
Each participant is listed as an author, and the good news is that you don’t have to write anything. This is a low stress project and we interview you for your content and write your chapter for you. You get full credit as one of the authors of the book.
Becoming a published author is one of the best ways to be recognized by prospects, clients and referral partners as the market leader and local expert. This project is for:
- Real Estate Brokers/Agents
- Real Estate Agency Owners
- Mortgage Loan Officers
All of our books have become Best Selling Books on Amazon, and this book will be no exception. Becoming a Best Selling Author is not an accident, rather it is a strategic business move that positions you as the trusted expert among prospects and clients:
- Attracts prospects and referral partners
- Improves your visibility, brand awareness, and advertising effectiveness
- Makes conversion into clients easier
- Improves access to speaking and news media opportunities
Buying or selling a home is one of an individual's or a family’s largest financial transactions during a lifetime and most people are interested in hiring an expert to help them through the process to make sure they are getting the best deal. This book is a great way to be viewed as an educator and advocate for your clients’ success, which is one of the key attributes of a true expert.
Some great ways to use the book in your marketing are to hand out a copy to prospects, potential referral partners, and regular referral partners; provide a free download of your chapter on your webpage, feature in social media, and email a digital copy of your chapter to past clients and prospects.
Unlike advertising, your book is “evergreen” – can be used to attract and convert prospects for many years.
Your participation will also provide benefits for a great cause. Newcastle Media Group is committing 100% of all royalties on retail book sales to Habitat for Humanity.
Step #1: Introductory Call

Content for your chapter will be edited into a manuscript, and after your review, will be compiled into the book. The book will be published in paperback and eBook versions. Both versions will be available for sale on Amazon and the paperback version will be available other through other online and offline booksellers.
