 excellent reference February 6, 2007

This as an almost indispensible tool for anyone involved in real estate transactions. If you own a home, or you're planning to buy one, you will want to have this book as a guide to the myriad types of loans available, and the dizzying amount of real estate terms that are used. All of it is explained in plain English. It can be used by real estate professionals and laymen alike.
I find this book also useful for notary signing agents. Although we're not required (or supposed) to discuss the loan terms with the borrower at the closing, it still helps to know what all of these terms mean.
What I like about the book is the organization. All of the topics are in alphabetical order, making it easy to find the information you need quickly. There are many cross references and references to web sites. And unlike an ordinary encyclopedia, there are opinions from the author. If you've read his articles or visited his website, then you're already familiar with the wisdom he shares with his readers.
This is one encyclopedia you'll want to read from A to Z.

This is a great little book. We have a few copies at my office for all my employees to refer to when they can't get online. Love it.
 Broker Rhetoric January 24, 2007
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I rate this book a 1 star because I am a lender... this book is a basic promotion that all brokers are good and all lenders are bad. I will put it simply and hold everyone's hand like a small child in my review; if you are by chance a Broker, you will love this man's philosophy, however, if you are by chance a Lender/Loan Originator, he will come off insulting and distasteful, and if you are a new consumer looking for advice as to how to get the best loan program, this book will lead you down a path of ill information. Either way, he does not approach the subject of mortgage lending in an objective way to educate, but rather in a stance to promote those in his field (ie brokers) and slander those in the opposite side of the ring (ie lenders). Disappointing to lead innocent and unknowledgable borrowers the wrong way just to promote your business/field.

This book is exactly what it claims to be. Being New to the business I found it to be a GREAT help!

A must have book for everyone in the mortgage industry and consumers. I'm a new Loan Officer and the book has really helped me understand the terminology I need to better serve my clients well.
