5.0 out of 5 stars Read Before You Make Offer, October 27, 2005

By	Moses (Castro Valley, CA) - See all my reviews

I read the new edition of Irwin's TIPS & TRAPS WHEN NEGOTIATING REAL ESTATE just before making an offer on a condo. I figure the book's ideas saved us at least $8,000 off the price. I'd recommend it to every buyer to read BEFORE you make your offer.

Irwin has written a great book. It's easy to read and understand and the examples Irwin provides make you feel as if you're looking over his shoulder during the transaction. Would recommend to anyone that's interested in real estate.
