According to recent surveys, the average real estate agent makes less than $10,000 a year and close to 90% of new agents will not last more than two years in the business. Fewer than 10% of agents will make over $100,000 and the majority that do have been in the business for decades. The average real estate agent sells 12 homes a year and for agents that are just starting out that number is less than four. In 2012 Dan Lesniak used a unique strategy to upend the industry trends. In his first year in real estate Dan had over 36 transactions totaling over $22 million in sold volume, making him one of the most successful rookie real estate agents ever. He did this by taking over one of the most competitive market areas in the country, that had previously been dominated by agents with over 10 years experience.

In The HyperLocal, Hyper Fast Real Estate Agent, Dan tells how he used the Segmentation, Targeting and Positioning (STP) framework to identify potential markets, choose which ones to go after and how to add massive value to the consumers in that market. This book will teach you how to use the STP framework to enter new markets or increase market share in your existing markets by adding more value to your potential clients and communicating your value proposition to the market. Whether you are a new agent getting started or a veteran agent looking for more growth this book will show you how to do it using examples of how Dan did it in the hyper competitive Arlington, VA (Greater Washington DC) market.

What Other Industry Leaders Have Said About the Book

“I have been coaching realtors for 22 years. Dan is the best business man who sells real estate that I’ve ever seen. He has great systems, structures, and processes. That is what separates him from the rest!”

One of my favorite sayings is “follow the yellow brick road.” In this book, Dan clearly lays out the path to the Emerald City, avoiding all the dangers of creating your own way. In Dan's first year, he closed over $22 million in sales, a feat matched by only the tiniest fraction of real estate agents—regardless of experience. If you are looking for a step-by-step plan from someone who has done it, this is the book for you!
-Pam O’Bryant, Chief Engagement Officer for Keller Williams Capital Properties, Contributor to Gary Keller’s The Millionaire Real Estate Agent book

There is no greater opportunity right now in the real estate industry than there is in the expansion market. This will require you to grow in your existing market and know how to expand in new ones. This book is a great example of how to rapidly expand in any market and is a must read for expansion team leaders.

Dan and I first met when he was just getting started in the business, and I have been blown away at how he was able to grow his brand so rapidly in a very competitive market.

The home buying process can be confusing, even for people who have bought homes before. In Home Buyer Secrets, Best-Selling Real Estate Authors, Coaches, and Billion Dollar Agents, Dan Lesniak and Keri Shull reveal the secrets they have used along with their team to help thousands of buyers with their home purchase.

Dan is the best-selling author of The HyperLocal, HyperFast Real Estate Agent, which has been read by tens of thousands of real estate agents, and in this book he reveals the secretes every buyer should know before starting to look for a home. Unlike most home buying books you will not be bored with long, drawn-out, and confusing jargon. Instead, you will learn about the most important parts of buying a home and how to save time, money, and stress throughout the process.

Home Buyer Secrets walks you through the process Dan and Keri use to help buyers analyze if they should buy a home and how to determine the right location, home type and price range so you don't waste time looking at the wrong houses. They also reveal how to get the best possible lending and financial terms. Finally, Dan and Keri reveal the same strategies they have used for thousands of buyers to save money during negotiations.

For too long, home buyer education has focused too much on the mentality used by old school brokers and real estate agent trainers. In Home Buyer Secrets you will learn the latest strategies that Dan and Keri have proven to save buyers time, money and stress.

Dan Lesniak founded the Orange Line Living Team in 2011 and immediately became a top-selling agent in the DC metro area. Keri Shull started her real estate career in 2003 with NVHomes and later the Mayhood Company, before starting the Keri Shull Team in 2009.

In 2013 Dan and Keri combined their teams and now have one of the highest-selling real estate team in the United States, ranking as high as number 33 in the Real Trends Rankings published in the Wall Street Journal. Their team has sold over 600 homes and $400 million in volume in a year.

In 2017, Dan wrote The HyperLocal, HyperFast Agent which became an instant best seller and later helped Dan and Keri launch the HyperFast Agent coaching program which has helped thousands of real estate agents. Dan and Keri have spoken on several stages alongside leaders in the industry such as Grant Cardone, Billy Gene and Ryan Serhant.

Dan and Keri have also built or developed over 300 homes. They are truly experts on all things real estate and they enjoy using what they have learned to help home buyers have the best experience possible.

As a child, Keri moved 15 times and Dan moved often during his time in the Navy, so buying a home and moving is something that is more than just a profession for Dan and Keri. It's a way to help others have the best possible experience for one of the largest financial and emotional processes they will undertake.
