Russell,<\/p>\n

I recently got in touch with Michael Maher about a book project I’m working on and he thought you would be an excellent person to contact as well for use as a possible source in the book. When he told me you used to be a stand up comedian, I couldn’t have agreed more!<\/p>\n

Your assistant suggested I e-mail you with all the information about this funny real estate book project, so here goes!<\/p>\n

I’m contacting agents around the country to include their stories in a humorous book I\u2019m writing. It\u2019s called All In a Day’s Work for Real Estate Agents: Humorous & Heartwarming Stories. <\/em>Think Chicken Soup meets Murphy’s Law. I\u2019ve spent nearly 15 years working with real estate professionals in marketing and public relations and firmly believe EVERY agent has at least one wild story. The book celebrates the real estate profession.<\/p>\n

Would you or anyone in your company have a funny, outrageous or touching story to share from your careers? Simply e-mail a reply, letting me know the best phone number\/times to contact you. I\u2019ll then call you for the details. The whole process shouldn\u2019t take more than 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"Womandriver\"<\/p>\n

Realtors with stories included will receive two free copies of the book and local publicity about being included in the book (once book is published). There is absolutely no cost to you. <\/em><\/p>\n

For complete info., visit www.WorkLikeaDogBooks.com<\/a><\/u>. Also at the site, you can click the link on the left (ARealtor Submission Updates@) to see which states I have Realtor stories for as well as which companies are currently represented. My goal is to have agents from all 50 states, Canada and beyond in the book. With your help, that can happen. As of today, I have stories from agents in Read more<\/a><\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
