Comments:
Marie Spodek, DREI, Professional Real Estate Services writes: "This book consistently meets the needs of three levels of students: For beginners, definitions; for intermediate users, application; and for advanced users, little known fact. Every time I pick up 'Big Yellow', I learn something new".
Paul Boyter, CRS, GRI, McColly School of Real Estate: "If a student doesn't pass, it is because they didn't read the book. I think it is great".
