New Book Shows German Immigrant's Journey to Owning Real Estate

KANSAS CITY, Mo.

When Barbara Knauf came to the Unites States from Germany, she had $300, limited English-speaking skills and a job as a stewardess. Now, after having sold properties for more than $100 million, she owns properties in Florida, Missouri and California. Her new book, "How I Made Fortunes in Real Estate and How You Can Too!: Fascinating Stories and Secrets for Success from an Insider" (published by Archway Publishing) is meant to inspire others to embark on their own real estate journey.

Knauf shares tips and advice for finding success in real estate whether readers are buying a home, selling a home, investing or starting a career in real estate. She shares "dos" and "don'ts" she has learned from her 20 years' experience in the field. She also tells personal anecdotes to give readers glimpses into her successful career.

"Real estate is a great alternative for many people to improve their lifestyles, and I wrote my book to help them achieve that goal," Knauf says.

"How I Made Fortunes in Real Estate and How You Can Too!" covers topics such as foreclosures, short sales, staging a home and many others. Knauf believes the lessons in her book cannot be learned in the classroom, but rather exclusively through years of hands-on experience. She looks forward to teaching readers what she has learned.
