Getting Real with Real Estate and Life
Transform Your Career and Life One Honest Conversation at a Time
Coach Dondi wrote this one for agents who know the scripts and still feel stuck. It pairs the business strategies she has taught for years with the personal work that makes them hold, so the changes last past the first good month.
Each chapter reads like a sit-down with her: direct, practical and honest about what gets in the way, at work and at home.
The workbook
Exercises that turn each chapter into a plan for your own business.
The journal
Prompts for reflecting honestly and tracking the changes you commit to.

Fifty, Free & Finally Me
A Bold Guide to Starting Over, Loving Yourself & Thriving On Your Own Terms
Dondi’s most personal book is small, with a big message: you are allowed to revise your life. It is written for anyone starting over at fifty, or at any age, who wants the next chapter to read differently.
What if turning 50 isn’t the end of something, but the edit?
Less “how-to.” More “me too.”
50 isn’t a deadline. It’s a red pen.

Beyond the Sign
The Heart, the Hustle and the Mindset of a REALTOR®
Coming soon
Beyond the Sign comes straight out of the training rooms where Dondi teaches. It follows an agent’s career from the first nervous week to running the business like a CEO, with field stories from three decades of listings, closings and near misses.
It will be published as a 6 × 9 inch paperback.
“The sign in the yard is the smallest part of the job. Anyone can get a license. Far fewer people build a career.”
