In As Is, Herlong speaks the language of real estate fluently. She shares everything she has learned about achieving success in real estate—as an agent, a buyer, and a seller. Herlong explains how to separate the professional agents from the part-timers, and she outlines how she trains Joan Herlong & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty agents to succeed by serving their clients. Finally, she offers proven, practical advice to buyers and sellers to help them get the most out of every transaction.

Buying or selling a home can be stressful, emotional, and extremely personal. That’s why her book and company are formed around three core values: honor, advocacy, and expertise.

“This is my effort to raise the bar, hopefully inspiring more dedicated, full-time agents who will treat this high-stakes business with the seriousness that buyers and sellers deserve,” said Herlong. “Whether you’re an agent, aspiring agent, a buyer, or a seller, you’ll find insights and strategies in here that will help you become better informed to get the most out of your experience.”
