Shift by Gary Keller is worthy of a read or re-read if you struggling with how to navigate a shifting market like the one we're entering.
Many of us used this book during the deep housing recession of 2008 as our guide to navigate that extremely difficult market where there was an dramatically limited number of buyers and an abundance of overleveraged sellers.
While the shift in today’s market is much different, many of the strategies in Keller's book still apply. I highly recommend this as book to read prior to entering the fall market.
