Hi Walter,
Oct. 11, I attended your full day presentation at EdCon in Seattle and purchased 9 of your products. I can’t begin to thank you for sharing your complete systems that every top realtor has to develop or purchase. Beating the Competition and Grow Your Leads have so many excellent ideas that I am in the process of implementing. Now I can see why you displayed so much energy, enthusiasm, and confidence when you spoke at EdCon. If I performed at this level, I would, too.
I really appreciate your details in the books regarding how, why, when, and to whom we should use the materials. I don’t think you left out anything! Of course, I had no idea that I could engage a lender and benefit both of us so well. This is a great idea with lots of supporting letters that I will implement. I can’t thank you enough for all that you do to share your knowledge, wisdom, and experience with the real estate community. Keep up the great work—we need your energy and expertise so we can rise from the ashes of stagnant-and-mediocre markets and from our own complacency as winners. I’m ready!

Walter, I can’t begin to count how many things I learned from you at EdCon this year (aside from never sitting in the front row!). Again, thank you for the book. I can’t wait to destroy the next 90 days and get my business in the place I want to be!

In my opinion, the guru of real estate when it comes to having and dealing with assistant(s) plus creating business off of other agents is Walter Sanford. About the time that Walter came on the scene as a promoter-speaker, I was fortunate enough to go see him.
One of the things that I remember him saying was that he would approach agents that had decided to leave the business, and make an offer to them to obtain their client list.
If I’m not mistaken, he would have the agent that he either bought the list from or…. sign a letter that Walter would send to this client base that said (sic) “I’ve moved on and I endorse Walter.”
Have you talked to agents in your office about their connections?”

Thanks, Walter! This is the perfect refresher to your remarks at our convention last year, and the perfect reminder to my agents, noting what they can truly become.
Best regards, Gary Thompson
Dear Walter,
Thank you for your recent stop in Sioux Falls to present, “Getting Ready for a Recovery” to members of The REALTOR@ Association of the Sioux Empire,Inc., (RASE). I would like to share just a few of the many great comments you received on evaluations; you were a success!
- “Walter adjusted his material for the current market – no fluff crap.”
- “Walter is entertaining and gives good answers to objections. Great instructor; good real life experiences.”
- “The material was so well presented and interesting. It was the first class that I didn’t look at the time wondering how soon the next break would be.”
- “Very informative and fun instructor; straight forward!”
- “Such easy techniques – why didn’t I do them from the last seminar Walter presented!?”
- “Walter is one of the few speakers who teaches salesmanship instead of BS.”
Walter I consider you a top end speaker. I appreciate your acknowledgement of the current economy and its affect on local real estate education progfilms and your willingness to work within our budget to bring you back to Sioux Falls for a third time in 8 years; wish it were more! You are fortunate to have Cindi Hayward working for you! Cindi is top notch at,what she does, her organization skills, consistent follow-up and prompt replies, helped make my job so much easier. Thank you!
I am pleased you were able to return to Sioux Falls and deliver another great seminar to our members. You are great to work with, have a high level of energy, and know your stuff! Thank you you for delivering a fun and time essential seminar! Be well…be safe!
Sincerely,

Our market is tough but I’ve remained profitable using your lead generating program. I love your systems, they work if you actually work them.

Walter Sanford is by far the best speaker and trainer for today’s real estate agent. I have had Walter come personally speak to my agents for three of the last four years. In 2008 one of my up and coming agents not only bought into Walter’s approach to becoming a mega producer, I am proud to say he was our top producing agent in 2009 out of 200 agents!
Walter is an extraordinary speaker that will keep you clinging to his every word. Allowing my agents to actually hear straight from the mouth of “North America’s Top Real Estate Agent” has paid me over ten times.
His approach is simple and no nonsense. He also provides countless tools for expireds, FSBO’s, out-of state owner’s, short-sales, R.E.O.’s and the list goes on. He teaches you great promotional techniques to put you in front of the competition. But more importantly he teaches and stresses balance in an agent’s life, the basic fundamentals that will keep you in the business for a long time without letting the business burn you out!
The first time my top team heard Walter, she hired him immediately as a coach. She consistently ranks as a top team in the nation for Century 21.
If you are looking to grow your career to the next level then Walter is a must hire.
I without question highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about real estate.

I drove 500 miles round trip to see you in Daytona Beach at EXIT Realty. Since then and just in the last week — I have sold $818,000 both sides! Our average is $90,000. I called my son and renamed him Walter. Thanks, buddy. Scott Forbes was right — you got me started!
Wayne Furlong
Walter Sanford was outstanding! We had about 100 agents scheduled to see Walter. After a blizzard with its inherent hysteria, we ended up with almost 80 people in attendance.
All of these people were very pleased.
We loved the webinars. They provide a neat follow-up for the agents.
We would highly recommend Walter Sanford.

Dear Walter,
I just wanted to drop you a letter in appreciation of the seminar that you put on for our agents here at Traders Realty. We had researched numerous real estate speakers to help us motivate and educate our agents and felt that you were the best one for our group. We were not disappointed! Your flexibility in adapting a presentation to fit with our “theme” for the year made the seminar much more meaningful and will hopefully carry on throughout the year.
The 7 follow-up Webinars have been inspiring and have allowed the agents more time with you and your systems that they could not obtain during the half day seminar. These interactive “conversations” have made it much more personal and will most definitely increase their sales.
Thanks again and good luck the remainder of the year.

This was an Email from an agent to his broker after a Walter Sanford seminar.
Hey Frank,
Just wanted you to know we had a great time today. Today I received a phone call from a buyer who wanted me to drop everything and show her a home. After talking to her for a while I convinced her to call one of my preferred lenders first, got her email and phone number, and Emailed her other homes as well. That came from Walter, because I would have been more likely to just run out and show her the house.
Lots of great ideas today, some we are already do, lots we can be doing better. Thanks again and have a great night.
John
