A Format
Word count, trim size, DPI, and pricing specs for a real estate agent ebook, built for KDP or direct sale. Exact production numbers, no guessing.
A real estate agent ebook isn't a novel and it isn't a brochure. It's a credibility document with a CTA at the end. The agents who get this right treat it like a listing packet: tight, specific, useful enough that a client actually reads it before the first showing. This spec sheet gives you the exact production numbers so you're not guessing. Word count, trim size, file format, DPI for the cover, what goes in the front and back matter, and how to price it if you're selling it standalone on KDP versus handing it out as a lead magnet. Quari Press builds this with you: you bring the market knowledge and the voice, the platform handles structure, formatting, and getting it into a sellable or shareable file. No design software, no formatting headaches, no guessing what Amazon's cover uploader actually wants.
A novelist can write 90,000 words because readers expect a novel. A client evaluating whether to trust you with a six-figure decision expects something they can finish over coffee. Go too short and it reads like a pamphlet. Go too long and it reads like homework nobody asked for.
6x9 inches is the standard nonfiction trim on KDP and it's what readers associate with a real book, not a printout. Smaller trims (5x8) work for a pocket-guide feel if you're handing out physical copies at open houses. Stick with 6x9 unless you have a specific physical-handout reason not to.
Front matter: title page, one paragraph about you (license number, years active, specialization), table of contents. Back matter: a one-page 'what to do next' with your direct contact info, not a generic call to action buried in paragraph text. This is the page that turns a reader into a lead.
KDP gets you searchability, a real price tag, and Amazon's trust signal. Direct sale (PDF from your own site, gated or ungated) gets you the email address and skips Amazon's 30-70% cut. Most agents should do both, KDP for legitimacy, direct for lead capture.

nonfiction
“Every seller thinks their kitchen needs granite. Most don't.”
An 8,000-10,000 word guide for sellers covering pricing strategy, staging that actually pays off, and the local timeline, built to hand to every listing appointment as a leave-behind that outperforms a business card.
