Agents spend more time writing than ever before, with email dominating as the preferred mode of communication for banks, clients, other agents, escrow, and more. Beyond email, real estate professionals need writing skills to prepare compelling client handouts, website text and other marketing material, making writing key to real estate business development in any type of market. Even though written communications now drive the profession, many agents lack basic writing skills. Some books teach general writing skills, but no other book addresses the specific needs of real estate professionals the way Before Hitting Send does. And with over 200 templates to pull from, the once-tedious task of writing becomes more satisfying.

Before Hitting Send will give your students the writing instruction and tools they need to improve their writing techniques, as well as examples and exercises to help them write more effectively. Power Real Estate E-mails & Letters provides ready-to-go templates; all the user needs to do is fill in the blanks. It also covers related legislation that might impact communication with clients and includes template letters for touchy situations real estate professionals encounter in day-to-day situations.
