But they, while their
companions slept, were

s mentioned, MEGA SUCCESS took me four years to complete and with the help of
hundreds of authors, trainers, coaches, and agents, whose books or articles I read, videos or
webinars I watched, or audio programs, interviews, or tele-seminars I listened to.
If your name appears on pages 999-1016 and you haven’t received a thank you card, letter, or
email from me, let me thank you now.
Even though I might not agree with some of your viewpoints, I still appreciate your sharing them.
When I first began my research of the real estate industry in 2008, I was thrilled so many experts
and agents were (and still are) willing to share their knowledge and experiences with others for
free. Without your contributions, this program would be only a fraction as useful.
I can’t stress enough. Real estate agents, authors, trainers, and coaches are the most generous
when it comes to sharing their expertise and experiences with their peers.
A Special Thank You To Activerain.com And Keller Williams Realty
Activerain.com allowed me to read articles from thousands of agents in the United States and
Canada, and Keller Williams Realty’s website, kwconnect.kw.com, let me access some of their
marketing and prospecting materials even though I wasn’t their agent.
If you posted an article about marketing, prospecting, showing, home staging, home inspection,
home appraisal, photography, online/virtual tours, negotiating, closing, or tips for buyers or
sellers before October 2012 on activerain.com (or any of the other websites on page 1017)…
Thank You!

Thank You To YOU—My Valued Client
I
f you invested in this program, thanks again for your business!
You’re my client and I’ll provide you with even more tools in the future to help you
become a Mega Agent as quickly as possible.
To thank you for investing in MEGA SUCCESS, I’m offering you a one-hour free
telephone consultation, which is a $525.00 value.
During our conversation, you can ask me questions about anything discussed in this
program.
Because I have only a limited number of hours for consulting, I can accept only five clients
each week. To take advantage of this opportunity, send an email to:
In your subject line, write: “Request for consulting.”
In your message, mention your client number, which you can find on your invoice for this
program. When I receive your request, I’ll give you two different dates for our consulting
session. If neither one works for you, we’ll make other arrangements.
To give you the greatest chance of getting on my schedule, submit your request
immediately. If you procrastinate, you may have to wait weeks or even months.
I reserve the right to withdraw this special offer at any time, so the free consulting may
not always be available. That’s why I urge you to send me your request today.
If you received MEGA SUCCESS from your broker or someone else, ask him or her to let
you use his or her client number.
If you don’t know who gave you this program, you can order my consulting services (if
they’re still available) at:

Let’s Enhance The Image Of Real Estate Agents
A
s you’ve learned, a 2009 survey conducted by the research firm Harris Interactive shows real
estate agents and brokers ranked the lowest in prestige among 23 occupations. (See page 53.)
The company started the survey in 1977 and added real estate agents in 2003. I’m sad to tell you
we were rated the lowest from 2003 to 2009 (which was the last year they did the study):
If you’ve been in real estate for at least 10 years, you know the market in the United States was on

fire from 2003-2006 and only began crashing rapidly after the financial meltdown in 2008.
The poll indicates the public had little respect for our profession regardless of the real estate
market conditions.
It’s been more than three years since the Harris Interactive’s survey. Do consumers view real
estate agents more positively these days (February 2013)?
Let me share with you several recent surveys. Here’s a Gallup poll conducted in late 2011:
Out of 20 professions, real estate agents ranked #12 in honesty, just slightly above lawyers.

1026
Appendix
Appendix H—Enhancing The Image Of Real Estate Agents
That’s alarming, isn’t it?
While we help people handle their most expensive financial assets, only 20% of the individuals
who participated in the survey rated the honesty and ethical standards of real estate agents as
“Very High / High.” Twenty-two percent ranked us “Very Low / Low.”
A second survey was done by Reader’s Digest Canada Magazine in May 2012:
As you can see, 46% of the respondents indicated real estate agents were the most distrusted
professionals in Canada last year. If Reader’s Digest in the United States had conducted the same
poll, the results would probably be similar, because the two countries are closely related, and
agents use the same prospecting and marketing techniques.
What about the image of real estate agents in other countries?
Reader’s Digest in Australia conducted a similar poll in 2012, and here’s what they found. Out of 40
professions surveyed in terms of trust worthiness, real estate agents ranked #35, just above sex
workers:
33. Taxi drivers
34. CEOs
35. Real estate agents
36. Sex workers
Or Working Evenings Or Weekends

Appendix

37. Insurance salespeople
38. Call centre operators
39. Door-to-door salespeople
40. Telemarketers
Let’s look at the poll Reader’s Digest in New Zealand did in 2012. Out of 40 occupations and
according to trust worthiness, real estate agents were rated #35:
33. Chief executive officers
34. Journalists
35. Real estate agents
36. Insurance salespeople
37. Sex workers
38. Car salespeople
39. Door-to-door salespeople
40. Telemarketers
Again, real estate agents were ranked near the bottom of the scale.
That’s disconcerting, isn’t it?
As you may recall, in Chapter 3, I shared with you the four reasons real estate agents have such a
poor image are:

EGA SUCCESS is available in PDF and printed copy.
If you’ve invested in only the PDF, you can purchase the printed copy in the client’s area of my
website, which you can access at TheMegaAgent.com/clients/login. The other option is to print it
yourself or do it at Staples, Office Depot, Office Max, or another store.
With the printed copy, you can underline, circle, or highlight the sections you find the most useful,
as well as write in the margins and on the Notes pages. This will allow you to learn the concepts
faster and find them quicker later.
If you received the PDF version from your broker, you can ask him or her to purchase the
hardcopy for you at a special price. Or you can do it yourself at TheMegaAgent.com/programs/
ms/hardcopy. Ask your broker for a Special Discount Code (SDC), which gives you 20% off.
If you’re a broker, broker-owner, or executive of a franchise real estate company and you don’t
already have a SDC, you can request it by emailing
.
In your subject line, please write: Request for a discount code.

About The Author
About Larry Lee
L
arry Lee is the president of Turems Technology
Incorporated, which is a Canadian company
located in the Vancouver area of British Columbia.
He’s been an entrepreneur since 1994 and has studied
business and marketing from some of the top experts
in the world, including Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins,
Michael Gerber, Nido Qubein, Gary Halbert, Jay
Abraham, Chet Holmes, Ted Nicolas, Dan Kennedy,
Joe Sugarman, Robert Allen, John Carlton, T. Harv
Eker, JT Foxx, and Raymond Aaron.
Larry has been doing business online since 1996 and has helped thousands of entrepreneurs,
especially insurance agents, generate more profits.
In July 2008, while searching for the most effective online tour and marketing system to help a
friend sell his house, Larry discovered a huge opportunity in the real estate industry. When he
couldn’t find any tour that would allow potential buyers to learn about a home virtually
almost as well as they could in person, he decided to build his own real estate technology.
Thinking he could offer a valuable product and service to real estate agents and transform the
real estate industry, Larry purchased dozens of real estate books and started researching the
real estate industry, as well as hiring a team of talented website developers.
While his website, DreamHomeHub.com, was being created, Larry began writing books to
explain to both consumers and real estate agents his revolutionary way of buying and selling
properties.
In addition to real estate books, Larry has also read thousands of articles, watched hundreds
of videos, and listened to countless audio programs and interviews by real estate authors,
trainers, coaches, and successful agents.
To understand the real estate licensing procedures and the education and training provided to
new agents, Larry obtained a real estate license in November 2011.
Although he learned a lot about real estate law after getting his license, he was surprised new

agents weren't being taught how to build a successful real estate business. So Larry decided to
use his business and marketing experiences and the knowledge he’d learned from real estate
authors, trainers, coaches, and agents, to create a series of books that teach both new and
veteran agents how to become outrageously successful in this profession.
Four years after his real estate endeavor began, Larry has written seven books: four for home
buyers and sellers and three for real estate agents.

The Program For Real Estate Agents
Through these books, programs, and Larry’s unique home-selling technology and systems, he
hopes to transform the real estate industry, so more agents can make a great living working
only 40 hours a week and home buyers and sellers can experience the least amount of hassle.
If you’ve read The Amazing Nine-Step Home-Selling System™, or Why Your Home Didn’t Sell, or The
For Sale By Owner Home-Selling System, and have seen The Ultimate Online Home Tour™ in action
(DreamHomeHub.com/tour/1), you probably agree Larry’s tools can tremendously benefit all the
parties involved in a typical real estate transaction: (1) the listing agent, (2) the buyer’s agent, (3)
the seller, and (4) the buyer.
If you aren’t satisfied with the income you’re making or the number of hours you’re working, or
both, see Chapter 14 of this program to learn how to become a member of The Mega Agent Network™ (TMAN) and use Larry’s powerful tools to make a six-figure income without cold calling,
door knocking, or working evenings or weekends.
When you (and tens of thousands of agents) use his suggestions to treat your clients like kings and
queens, you will help enhance the image of real estate agents enormously.
Larry may be available for consulting, coaching, and speaking. So if you want to discuss a project
with him, email him at larrylee@TheMegaAgent.com.
