Excellent Book! I encourage you to buy this!!!!
With A LOT of studying and praying, I passed my California Real Estate Salesperson exam the first time. I am celebrating!! I am so thankful for this book, as Dr. Yoegel lays out each segment of the real estate industry very carefully and very clearly.

After I passed my Real Estate principles course, I still felt unsure about the many complicated aspects of the property law, financing, and other practices. I took every suggestion Dr. Yoegel had, including making 3x5 flash cards of EVERY TERM within his book. I went to the local library and used a private study room to even read his chapters out loud to myself and to write the definitions and solutions on the dry erase boards. Suddenly, I felt empowered with understanding. I tell you, this is an excellent reference, especially when used after your principles class. GO FOR IT!!!!!

Good Book for Review
I liked the book. If you have already taken real estate courses it is a great read and quick review. I had other books that I had been using but trying to get through the chapters was taking me weeks! This way I can get through a chapter in about an hour and that's taking it slow. Good luck to everyone taking the real estate exam. Now let's get out there and sell houses!

If you're taking the test you need this book!
This book is chocked full of info that you need. The chapters are laid out and explained really well. It helps you to understand the lessons that your going to school for alittle better by the way it explains them differently (especially the math!!!)
