4 out of 5 stars Down-to-earth, easy -to -understand-and-follow book!   October 28, 2003
There is absolutely no doubt that newly licensed real estate agents are in dire need of career guidance. This book takes the reader from finding a broker with whom to affiliate to understanding the sometimes dizzing array or real estate terminology. It would be a handy little reference for the new agent. Dr. Kenneth W. Edwards, GRI, Book and Video Review Editor, The Real Estate Professional Magazine.


1 out of 5 stars He needs a proof reader   October 14, 2003
  3 out of 5 found this review helpful

I have read many many books in my 40 years, and I have NEVER seen such an EMBARRASSING collection of misspellings and poor punctuation in any book, even those which were self-published. A run through a basic spell checker was obviuosly never done, and author has very poor grammar skills indeed, not knowing the prover use of their vs. there.

Its hard to take someone's advice seriously when their writing skills are so very very bad. I would be embarrassed to release this book.


1 out of 5 stars Just plain awful!   October 1, 2003

I just picked up a copy of this book and after reading the first chapter, have had enough! Although I'm sure it's filled with some helpful tidbits, the gross about of grammatical and spelling errors over-shadows this. This author's credibility is not only based upon the accolades on the back cover, but by the book's format. By no means am I an editor, but this book's editor should have, at the very least, crosschecked the copy with a word processing program.

Never before have I encountered such carelessness and to realize that I purchased a book with grammatical errors, shocks me. Boy, am I sorry I wasted my money.

I don't know about you but I have a serious problem trusting the written words of someone who can't even bother taking time to proofread what they write. This book is so filled with grammatical errors, misspellings, and just bad writing that I found it incredibly distracting to read, incredibly disrespectful of the reader, and just plain unprofessional.

The content barely scratched the surface on many issues. There are much better books available from Amazon. Try "21 Things I Wish My Broker Had Told Me" by Frank Cook or "Your First Year in Real Estate: Making the Transition from Total Novice to Successful Professional" by Dirk Zeller.
