 Modern Real Estate Practice September 6, 2010
Gem
I am from California where the Sale's and Broker's Exam(s) are designed to be state specific (with our own set of laws and traditions). I noticed this book while searching for real estate books online. I even studied the reviews from mostly happy customers, (except for people good at math) but "it was not designed for my state exam". I actually bought the book mainly for the Test Building CD-ROM that was included with it as a sales promotion for free. I figured since I was buying a used college book at a good price that I could afford to take the gamble. I was impressed when I first received the CD-ROM by mail and started using it. I now believe that this software was designed for a college student's demanding schedule (and was not just a sales promotion). You now have the power (with this CD-ROM) to give youself a practice test with up to 23 different topics to choose from, when you build your own test (578 questions total). The software automatically keeps track of your test scores and dates when you log in to study. I just took an exam with only one question and it was still recorded in my "exam history" along with the amount of question(s) and the chosen topic(s).
Great Text Book for Real Estate January 29, 2008

Keep in mind, this is a text book. Not a ,"How To Get Rich in Real Estate", technique. Having graduated from Purdue Cal with an electrical engineering degree, I read text books for enjoyment as often as any other type of book.
This is a great one. I took a real estate class in Chicago that used this book in their six day crash course in which we went through it cover to cover. I was able to subsequently pass my RE exam and recieve my salesperson license.
If you have a mathematical background, you will find the methods of solving math problems in this book to be a little on the childish side. They assume virtually no knowledge of algebra or applied math solving skills. But this is a plus for people who have a fear of applied math problems.
The information in this book about the 'nuts and bolts' of the real estate profession is right on the mark. It is easy to read and the questions at the end of each chapter are at times challenging but solvable by using the information presented in the book.
I truly enjoyed reading this text. I have often browsed through this book since recieving my license in 2006.
Volumes have been written on the topics of each chapter. This book is an overview. However, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that if you know this book inside and out, you'll be on par with most practicing real estate agents in the field.

After giving up my RE license a couple of years ago, I decided to try and get it back. This is a great book, with lots of information that you both need to know and things that are just plain fun to know. I read the book and used the accompanying CD, tested, and passed on the first try. I'm not sure I could have done it without such a comprehensive book. Highly recommended (but be sure and ask which book, and which version of the book, that local instructors use to teach RE principles and practices before purchasing)

After comparing other study guides, Modern Real Estate Practice is by for superior. All the information is in a reader friendly format. The real estate math is made simple. The DVD testing is awesome. I would recommened this study book to anyone considering a real estate career.

Using this reference guide along with the materials supplied in my real estate class I was able to pass the examination for the real estate sales person license on the first attempt.
I did not give it 5 stars because the CD with sample exam questions that comes with the book is not compatible with MACS - something you don't find out until after you buy it!
