Real Estate Agents and Their Dirty Little Tricks!

Rating:
Summary: Not for the faint of heart.
Review: A small volume which you can take with you while househunting. Real Estate Agents and their dirty little tricks is not nice to agents but does contain many useful tips. More home buyers should be aware of how the home-buying process works before they begin.

Summary: Incorrect Information And A Waste Of Money
Review: I personally have been in real estate as a motivational speaker for over 15 years. I've even written a book for McGraw-Hill on real estate. It is my professional opinion this is the worst book ever on real estate. This is obviously written by a person who was a real estate agent, was very bad at it, and her therapist told her to write this book as part of her therapy. The facts are totally inaccurate and I won't be surprised if the publisher and author get sued for all of terrible and incorrect advice they give.
If your looking for a book to educate you about buying or selling a home, keep looking on this site; there are much better one's to invest your money on.

Summary: Worth the time and money
Review: I think there needs to be a major exposure of the agent's tricks and this books helps. As a professional in the real estate business I see the tricks first hand and some of them really stink from a lack of ethics on the part of the real estate agents who try to manipulate the industry with illusion and overt misrepresentation. I would like to see more books like this one on the market. Don't let the agent spin you into thinking that they are necessary or helpful. They work on commission, like used car dealers. It is their objective to turn the property and make a mega profits for themselves in a world of sharks. Most agents are NOT consumer advocates concerned about the welfare of the general public.

Summary: I wish I could give it a zero!
Review: Kelly Yarbrough's credentials in the back of the book would lead someone to think that she is a seasoned professional. I was given this book by a friend,we are both in the real estate business, and she thought that it was supposed to be a funny book. She had not read it. It is not a funny book, it is a realtor bashing book, and Ms. Yarbrough represents the worst in our industry as far as I can tell. Having been involved in real estate sales for 18 years, I can honestly say she paints an unfair picture of the people that I have known who do the best they can to help people through one of the most stressful and trying times of their lives, moving their families into a new home, their biggest investment. Just an awful book that gets a lot wrong.
