What HGTV Won't Tell You About Real Estate Top Realtor Spills the Tea on America's Most Misunderstood "Profession"You probably wouldn't trust a part-time doctor with your health, or a part-time lawyer with an important case. But every year, millions of Americans trust what is likely their most valuable asset-their home-to real estate agents who don't have the training or experience one typically associates with a "professional." The fact is, there's a lot more to real estate than what you see on House Hunters, and most agents aren't exactly eager to pull back the curtain.Until now.In this honest, revealing and often-hilarious book, Greenville, South Carolina Realtor Joan Herlong shares her strange-but-true adventures from more than 30 years in the real estate business. From her days as a newbie working for a national megafirm, to building her "one-woman shop" into a thriving partnership with one of the top real estate agencies in the world, she'll share real-life stories of client conflicts, aggressive agents, and the secrets she's learned along the way. Packed with expert insights into what buyers and sellers need to know, plus valuable advice for anyone considering entering the field, the book has something for everyone, including a behind-the-scenes account of Joan's own appearance, alongside her daughter and son-in-law, on HGTV's House Hunters.

Richard Sandler, in his role as personal attorney for Michael Milken during the federal investigations, brings this must-read story of the prosecution to readers for the first time.In this no-holds-barred account, Mr. Sandler shows, with the inclusion of court transcripts and his daily involvement in the investigation, how prosecutors were driven to destroy high-profile figures in the financial industry. This was a strategy that worked to their own personal benefit at the expense of justice. Journalists, always in need of a headline, were hell-bent on demonizing an innocent man whose financing innovation underwrote both the tech and the telecom revolution and gave access to capital for thousands of other small business entrepreneurs and investors.This book presents the reality behind the prosecution of Michael Milken.

Finding the one and only way to survive the dark side of successFor years, Mary Grothe was for herself. She thought that's how we're supposed to be. To fight to get ahead, to succeed, win at all costs, to have it all. It took years of exhaustion to finally realize: it's not about me.It's not about you, either-and as long as it is, you'll be left hungry, thirsty, empty, and confused as to why your soul isn't satisfied. Even self-proclaimed Christians will still falter, make mistakes, and fight the battle of the flesh versus the spirit-often, on a daily basis. Especially when we put ourselves in the drivers seats of our lives.Mary Grothe is here to tell her story, unvarnished, because as an openly-faith-based leader, she'd be a fool to act like she has it all figured out. Her life has been far from perfect, but she's a living example that, in the end, it's still worth it. That after years of adversity, and the faith that adversity engenders, there's an irony waiting on the other side: we already have it all. All we need is God. Things still fall apart around us, but we can respond to it knowing that everything is in God's hands no matter what.

Investing in Relationships"I'M ABOUT AS TECHNICAL AS A PINT OF GUINNESS," says Richard Walker, who has devoted his career to developing technical talent in others. A wee bit of irony there? Get to know Richard and it all makes sense.

It's about helping others to build better lives by reaching out in friendship with no expectation of getting anything in return. In our authentic relationships, Richard tells us, we tap into a powerful force for good that, in the end, will profit us most of all.
