Deborah Spence is an award winning real estate agent in the Philadelphia Jenkintown area of Pennsylvania. Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, Spence attended Hofstra University on a full scholarship program for inner city kids called the (NOAH) program and graduated in 1994 with a degree in Business Administration-with a major in Accounting and minor in English.

The mother of two boys, Spence dealt with a series of medical issues that had her in and out of hospitals for nearly a decade before relocating and start over in the City of Brotherly Love where she finally had the opportunity to enter the real estate industry.

In an amazing rookie year as an agent, Spence listed 63 houses and sold 31. Proving it was no fluke; she sold nearly 50 more homes in her second year and became a “go to” real estate agent (then she treated herself to a Mercedes). After reading her success story, you will understand why she says, “If I could do this, so can you.”

Spence says the trick to success is being passionate about learning and having a burning desire to succeed. In this, her first book, Spence provides motivational and practical advice designed to help new real estate agents launch their careers and enjoy the fruits of their hard work.

    Well written, and easy read. I read it in 1 day (a major feat for me). Very inspiring author who I hope will write another book. I’ve been looking for a “how to” book as I plan to embark on a real estate career. Deborah Ann Pence’s book has allayed many of my fears & makes this journey a lot less scary. Thank you!!!

    There were so many nuggets of wisdom here! And that was even before the author mentioned how she managed to get an edge on sales. Self-discipline is everything. I would recommend this title to anyone who is seriously ready to start a new endeavor but fear may be holding them back.
