Agent to Agent: "Professional" Cooperation (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781638673415)

I, Pat Ford, am a native of Memphis, Tennessee. I moved to the Middle Tennessee area in 1995 as the result of a family relocation. My career in real estate started in 1984 in Memphis and I am currently licensed with CRYE-LEIKE in Spring Hill, TN.

Over the years, I have enjoyed service in my Church with our Missionary Ministry as the Ministry Leader doing the work of the Missionary with other members as it relates to helping others through prayer meetings, programs, charity and donations. I am also a past member of the Mt. Calvary Mass Choir.

My educational background includes attendance at Shelby State Community College and Memphis State University. I transferred from Memphis State University to Middle Tennessee State University in 2015 and graduated on December 12^th, 2020 with a "Bachelor of Science" degree in Liberal Studies.

I have also served as a tutor for the Nashville Adult Literacy Council, taught real estate at the Nashville School of Real Estate and I am a Graduate of the Dale Carnegie Institute Sales Program. In addition, I have been an Instructor for the Greater Nashville Association of Realtors Orientation program.

A course I recently developed is copyrighted and entitled: Agent to Agent Cooperation; it has been approved to teach.

Through the years, the pursuit of excellence through educational courses and classes in real estate have served to enhance my knowledge in this field. The hard work has come to fruition and afforded me numerous

titles and designations. Those include Vice-President, Broker, Certified Military Residential Specialist, Certified Premier Property Specialist, Certified New Home Sales Professional, Certified Residential Specialist and Graduate of the Realtor's Institute.

My hobbies are bowling and golf.

The inspiration to write this book stems from interactions over the years with other agents. This book is relevant because reading and understanding the content will show agents how working together as a team, can be effective when both sides make the decision to do so.

The reader will find that it is unique because the concepts are straightforward and they acknowledge the day to day efforts we endure to represent clients and customers.
