21 Must-Read Books Recommended by Successful Real Estate Agents.
This list was curated by some of my top coaching clients over several years of research. It’s designed to be a start to finish, complete list in the order that most agents should learn in. Think of it as building a house… make your plans, build your foundation, add the framing and structure, then add in the designer finishes and finally furniture and family photos on the walls that make it a complete home.
Consider this your “REALTOR® MBA”. The one you take after just getting your basic license when your plan is to be super successful!

Wish you could cram all this information into your brain in a day? Well, you can!… sort of. Blinklist is a “Coles notes” version that summarizes many non-fiction books into short form “blinks” in both audio and written form. An average book can be summed up in typically 30-45 min Blink! We encourage this to get an overview, but for the topics you really want to learn well you should deep dive into the full book. Find out more or download the app at www.blinkist.com
Feel free to share your personal favorite reads for 2025. I trust this list will deliver some gold for your and your real estate journey this year.
Strength and Courage,
