Summary: Lucid and Informative
Comment: As a newcomer to real estate it is important to get the basics down before engaging in the process. To borrow a builders metaphor -- you need to start with a solid foundation and then build up from there... Jack Harris's Barron's real estate handbook is a wonderful and lucid introduction from within which one gets information to build from a solid foundation. One of the more valuable aspects of the book is how Harris brings everything down to its most basic component and if for that alone it is worth the money. Computations are broken down to their most basic and elemental components, house type as well as engineering terms and real estate jargon are simplified but not simplistic, and terms are well explained. A valuable tool for every potential or current homeowner.

Summary: Great for the beginner!
Comment: This is a great book to have a available for the beginner real estate agent. This book was essential in assistaing me in passing the Real Estate License Exam the first time. It allowed me access to tons of terms which aren't readily available in other books. Now that i am just getting started in selling real estate it has become a life saver when I run across terms I don't know. Sure, it's not something you would read next to the fireplace, but it's a nice reference to have sitting in the office!
