REVIEWS for Pandora’s Lockbox
“A gossipy and witty peek behind the real estate curtain. The author’s voice is peppy and fun as she guides the reader through the relentlessly dramatic real estate scene. “So You Want To Be An Agent Quiz” at the end is a highlight of the book that’s indicative of Griffith’s extensive knowledge and chatty, relatable style.” — Kirkus Review
“The stories I read here (in Pandora’s Lockbox) completely blew me away. I’ll suggest this to anybody involved in the real estate industry. If you’re looking for a quick read that will make you giggle, this is it.” – Online Book Club 5/5 Star Review
“Fans of soap operas and daytime television will get a kick out of Griffith’s jocular, episodic retellings of her most memorable encounters during her real estate career. At times funny and other times jaw-dropping, Pandora’s Lockbox also attests to what it takes to make a career—and the value of creating connections as a woman in business.” — Booklife Review
“(Pandora’s Lockbox) was a wild and compelling story! It fell into that category of the truth being stranger than fiction for me and I had no idea what to expect next. All the stories were an interesting way to explore memoir style writing. Anyone who has wondered about the insights and oddities of real estate would be interested and find this an enjoyable book.” — Judge, Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards
“Pandora’s Lockbox is anything but predictable. Its hilarious stories will delight the general public as well as would-be and existing real estate pros. One thing is for certain: readers will never think of the real estate industry or agents in exactly the same way after absorbing the trials and tribulations that involve the agents inside Pandora’s Lockbox.” — Midwest Book Review
“Pandora’s Lockbox by first-time author Nico Griffith immediately grabs you with its title. The escapades in the bookare short, firsthand accounts written with a wicked sense of humor and in the same engaging manner as the types of tales told over a stiff drink…or two…or five. The author’s descriptions of her agent cohorts, known as the Fab Five, are so vivid that one can’t help but connect with a favorite in the same way they would with a television series character.
All in all, Pandora’s Lockbox is a fun, eye-opening read!” – Non-Fiction Writers Assn Review
Reader Reviews:
Good book for a flight, should be a tv show . . . “I’ve been reading a fun real estate blog and wanted to find something longer for a flight. This was recommended. Wow, insane times selling houses. Luxury real estate meets a wild memoir. A visually descriptive book, it made me want to watch a tv show about it. There is actually an alligator, but I don’t want to spoil it.” — Hally F.
