About the author

Hi, I’m John Mayfield.

I took over my mom’s office, Mayfield Real Estate in Farmington, Missouri, founded Global Real Estate School, became an instructor and Hall of Fame recipient of the Real Estate Business Institute (REBI), served as the 2022 Missouri REALTORS® State President, and was named the 2026 Missouri REALTORS® State REALTOR® of the Year.

Corky Hyatt and I wrote this book to help brokers skip the costly lessons we’ve seen again and again. I’ll sign your copy and send it out to you.
