5.0 out of 5 stars Great book but make sure you use supplemental texts!
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2013

After I took pre-licensing courses at a community college, I went through this entire book and practice tests to prepare for my state exam. I was extremely impressed on how well it explained general real estate concepts. I felt reading this book on it's own was even more helpful than my pre-licensing courses. With the help of this text, I ended up passing the state exam on the first try.

However, I don't believe I would have been able to pass my state exam using this text alone. The information in the book is very general (which not a fault of the book because the author meant to prepare test takers in every state). As a result, much of the state-specific information I saw on my state exam was not covered in the book. Also, the questions on my practice tests were very different than those on my state exam.

I definitely recommend this book because I found it extremely helpful on understanding the basics and grasping the concepts surrounding real estate. But, I also strongly encourage supplemental texts + practice tests that are state-specific to help you prepare for the state exam.

I took my exam for the first time on October 6th,2012 and passed!!!!!!I used this book and a couple other study materials book but this was my main go-to book.This is a great investment for the price. This book lays out EVERYTHING that could possibly be on the exam. It presents the questions to you how they may be asked on the exam. No it does not tell you detailed state questions but thats not even logical. State legislation changes frequently and the author would have to re-write this book every time one of our 50 states chose to amend their state rules and regulations. Instead he tells you state topics that are more than likely to show up on the test and he was right. So in addition to this book please read your STATE material. I was able to print my state study materials from my state commission's website. Study hard, page for page and you'll past the first time.

If you are just curious about RE, this is a great resource. If you are using it to study for a state exam, save your money. The book is very well done but far too much blathering on if you're just trying to pass an exam. As a resource, it's a good tool and you'll not be disappointed but you just may not find it that useful for your state exam after already taking your education requirements as it's just a regurgitation of that information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful real estate guide
Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2013

I bought this book because I'm taking an online realtor's course and was disappointed with the course's materials. I needed a book to supplement the class and make everything more understandable. Real Estate License Exams for Dummies was the right choice. This book is extremely helpful and packed with all the laws, advice, and procedures I need to learn. It is just a generic volume, so some state-specific supplement is required before taking the exam. The author writes in easily-understandable plain english, describes laws in appropriate detail, fits ideas together to paint a comprehensive picture of real estate.

I was hesitant to buy this book bc it was written back in 2005 but I took a chance and I'm so glad I did. All of the information was not only still relevant on today's exam in 2013 but it was also a joy to read. My state specific book put me to sleep every time I opened it. I passed the real estate broker exam in Illinois by reading a chapter a day of this book, taken notes and only opening my state book for state specific situations that this book did not cover. If u want to actually learn without dying of boredom GET THIS BOOK!!! Oh by the way I am a 25 yr old male who gets bored easily and I couldn't put this book down, the author actually made learning fun!
