Summary: A good starting point
Review: I am currently taking the FREC Salesperson I course and this is the book, as you know, we must use. If you are not taking the State Exam, there is no real reason to buy this book unless you just want to educate yourself. Reason being -- the book's goal, like most of it's kind, is for the student/reader to pass the state exam in the end. Hence, there are probably other books out there that convey similar information that aren't booged down with useless details that only exam takers need to know.

Summary: The material is presented in a language too technical
Review: I just took the state exam (and passed!!), I have to say this book is written in too much of a technical manner and too many details for it to be an easy read. I felt I had to constantly translate paragrapgs into "plain english" to keep me going ...the material is presented in too much of a "dry" manner. Lots of times it was confusing to understand what was said, it was very contradictory. If you are taking the state exam, I highly recommend that you form a study group to "disect" what all the languge is...

Summary: THIS IS THE KEY TO PASSING THE SALESPERSON EXAM
Review: I was reading a few reviews about this book. The answer keys to the end of chapter and practice question at the end of the book are available through your instructor. Please note that this book alone will not allow you to take the state exam without a 63 hour Pre-lic. Course. For those who don't understand the material and want the answers to the questions in the book should ask their instructors when they take the required pre-lic. Salesperson FREC I course. As far as the text book, the text book material is excellent!

Summary: Authors should take fresh approach to convey material
Review: The authors know their stuff, but have no idea how to present it in a creative way.Sadly, this text, in its 22nd edition, is the standard real estate "salesperson" study manual in the state of Florida. It is far too long and boring. Much more could be conveyed in fewer pages if the authors either undertook an overhaul or let a creative writer edit the copy. But hasn't this text already been through 22 editions? Yes, but changes only seem to be made to reflect changes in law and not in updating or freshening the overall presentation. This oversized book is nearly 500 pages long! In my estimation, more could be said in half the space. As far as the end of chapter and end of book test questions go, they are too simple. The authors review manual, sold under seperate cover, includes many more questions that more closely reflect the standard of difficulty the state uses in its actual exam. The authors of this text know they have the monopoly on the "salesperson" text book in the state of Florida. Because of this, do they really have an incentive to make it better? No, not unless they want to challenge themselves to improve it. If the text were better it would most certainly make the practice of real estate in Florida...better.

Summary: DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!
Review: The rub with this product is that it contains quizes and a review test BUT THEY DO NOT PROVIDE THE ANSWERS!!!!! I spoke with the publisher and I was told that the book is for classroom use only and the answers will not be provided. If you are studying for the FL RE sales exam, this book is virtually usless without the answer key. SHAME ON AMAZON FOR SELLING THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT DISCLOSURE!!

Summary: Good O.K book.But it does not give answers to tests in book
Review: This book is easy to read (as easy as any manual of its kind). It is well written and thorough. BUT (and this is a big "but"), the tests that it has do not have any answers. You are left with a bunch of technical questions which have very specific answers, but the book does not provide an answer key. As a result, the tests are worthless to take. This diminishes the whole value of the book. Do not bother to buy this book if you want answers to any exams that appear in the book. It is a waste of time and money.

Summary: You MUST take the class in order to take the licensing exam.
Review: This is the text book for the class you are required to take AND pass in order to qualify to take the Florida Real Estate Licensing Exam. So don't buy this book if you don't intend to earn your Florida Real Estate License or continue on to broker status. But if you do, you MUST have this book.
