"Based on more than 800 agents' surveys comparing over 25 Triple Play 2003 presenters, you were rated SECOND! I can't tell you how many strangers came up to me at the convention center that week to say thanks for bringing Mike in!!! Hugs and all! Of the over 40 seminars presented, your Real Estate Finance seminar came in third and Attack the Market! Specialize in Negotiating, Finance, Pricing or Technology® fourth! Everyone I spoke with who attended one of your sessions raved about it."

"Mike, I'm afraid to say this but I'm finally reading your book. I love your direct and honest approach as to how to use it! You are very talented and the book is refreshing!"
