Customer Rating: 

Excellent reference book. I am presently taking the 2 required PA Real Estate courses to take the required licensing exam. The combination of th "Real Estate for Dummies" and the course materials pretty much prepares you to become an agent.

As experienced Realtors, my husband and I got sort of a reboot from this book. We had been through good times when you forget about the 'beginnings' of hustle and get all satisfied with your current market, clients and customers. Harder economic times make you go back to the basics, so this was a great reminder and inspiration.

I bought this book one week before I passed CA State Exam. I'm loving it! It gives all the nuts & bolts to a rookie for a quick & sound start in the business. This book is a must-have on the shelf for every new agent, period!

Customer Rating: 

This book does have some usful tips. However, the author is obviously a career salesman. He appears to have grown his career from real estate sales to selling his own products ( seminars, web sites, and sales coaching). He equates financial success by selling, to being a quality agent. His focus seems to be on the typical salesperson's perspective ie. ABC (always be closing), not matching the client to the property they want, like and can aford.

Customer Rating: 

This is a very comprehensive book for beginners and experienced realtors. It seems to be losely based on the teachings of Mike Ferry by an experienced agent who actually did what he writes. I highly recommend it with one reservation: much of it is very similar to the book The Champion Real Estate Agent written by the same author. If you buy one of the books you don't really need to buy both.
