The Competent Broker:  Acknowledgments

Thanks to Mira who makes everything possible.

Special thanks to my long time colleagues in the real estate business including Vanna Langdon, Mike Bower, Ed Gobble, and Susan Hustace, all of whom have taught me so much.

Thanks to Kevin Stewman and Chad & Leslie Shoaf for being straight shooters in a murky business.

Thanks to Gary Sutton, Steve Smallman, David Barrier, Andy Holloman, and Chris Adams for years of wisdom.

Thanks also to Sherry Shaw for invaluable writing and editing advice.

I would like to thank Richard Armstrong for being an early reader, editor, and advisor.  More than anyone, you helped make this work stronger, tighter, and more readable.

I would like to thank my clients who have helped me so much more than I ever helped them.  Especially my friends, Walter & Karen High, who were also my first and last clients.  Thank you both.

Finally, I would like to thank the readers of this book.  I hope you found it useful for your own real estate endeavors.  Please help me improve the business by sharing this book with others.
