 Good book, practice guides infinitely more useful April 8, 2008
If you are just curious about RE, this is a great resource. If you are using it to study for a state exam, save your money. The book is very well done but far too much blathering on if you're just trying to pass an exam. As a resource, it's a good tool and you'll not be disappointed but you just may not find it that useful for your state exam after already taking your education requirements as it's just a regurgitation of that information.

Yes, it has useful points, buy according with my recent experience in falling and approving the exam, I can say that as a supplementary book is fine, but never as the first souce. I recommend that you get a book of your state and a practice exam book of your state, that is the way.

I read this book cover to cover 2 weeks prior to my licensing class. I passed with flying colors and I feel I owe part of it to John A. Yoegel. He writes in a clean easy to understand style, feeding you just the right amounts of information on a page or chapter to immerse your brain into.
The course I took at Pace University required Modern Real Estate Practice in New York Edith Lank's book and while it covered New York specific law, Yoegel's book read easier and mixed broker and sales person information together which in this reviewers opinion is necessary to be a better rounded agent. If you are going to take the New York Exam this book will get you primed and ready for the 70 hour sit down class.
You will appreciate his "Dummies" style banter as it makes the topics less dry and more retainable. Even if you never intend on becoming an agent but are involved with property management or investing, this is a fantastic read.
