Success in commercial real estate isn't just about closing deals-it's about following a repeatable process, staying true to your values, and playing the long game.

In The SEQUENCE - A Personal Journey and Framework for Commercial Real Estate Brokerage Success, veteran broker Allen C. Buchanan, SIOR, shares the system that helped him build a lasting, top-producing career. Through over four decades and more than 2,000 transactions, Allen uncovered a clear and consistent pattern that turned prospects into clients, and deals into long-term relationships. That system is SEQUENCE:

S - Source

E - Evaluate

Q - Qualify

U - Under Control

E - Execute

N - Negotiation and Close

C - Commission

E - Expand

Part memoir, part playbook, this book combines real-world stories with tactical guidance for brokers who want to build a business the right way-one rooted in consistency, service, and structure. You'll walk alongside Allen through early-career stumbles, creative problem solving, team building, and ultimately, a framework that creates both freedom and results.

Whether you're just launching your brokerage career or looking to regain clarity after years in the field, The SEQUENCE offers a grounded, proven path forward.
