Good Title... This book is BASICJan 06, 2005

This is a college level textbook for complete beginners in the field of Real Estate and specifically Real Estate Appraisal. As such, it gives a nice overview of the profession and of appraisal techniques and not a whole lot more. To get more in depth to the level of feeling professionally competent, you will need to add on with other books and classes. But this is a very good start.

 Some other books are better than this oneMar 09, 2004
I don't know why colleges use this book as a required textbook. This book is DEFINITELY not a good book for someone who is new to real estate apraisal. The book did't explain things very clear especially some very important things like "Highest and Best Use". There are some other book that explain the real estte concepts better than this one. You definitely will not pass the real estate appraisal exam if you only read this book

RE AppraisalNov 14, 2001
This is a great book that is used in some of the colleges for textbook. It explains the fundamentals of real estate appraisal by using pratical examples which we may experience everyday. In addition, it clearly shows the calculations, number by number with detailed explainations to make the readers easy to understand the concepts. It really helped me a lot in the real estate business.

its a text bookNov 11, 2009
By Robert Dragolic
Its a text book for college courses. If you think it is going to be anything other than that you are confused. It will help you pass a state realtor's exam but there are probably better ways to prepare.
I got this book because it was required for a course I was taking.
 College Course RequirementAug 26, 2011

"Knowledge is Power"
Since this book is a required text for a college course, the review can be limited. It is a little outdated since the laws and way things are done have changed since print in 2008. If not needed for college course- try to find something more updated. Author is very good and book is easy to follow with practice test and answers. I gave it 5 stars because it delivers what it is, a 2008 print book. I think it would be unfair to try and downgrade it because it is not have a later print. It fulfills for what it is for the time it was written for.
