5.0 out of 5 stars The Best and most valued book I have ever bought, April 30, 2008

By	CM Christy (San Clemente Ca.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: California Mortgage Loan Brokering and Lending (Paperback)

You know how you spend hundreds of dollars on books you think will teach you a certain thing, only to find out they all really fall short? Well this book is a breath of fresh air. This book got me through my very first loan, just me and this book. It was very easy to follow and each step by step instruction was there for me. I love this book it took me safely through the whole loan process with no confusion.
Please write a book on the "Complete Real Estate Transaction and Obligations" of the RE Agents, and we'd have better agents out there.
Thanks

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read This Book If You Must Fully Understand The Industry, June 4, 2006

By	J. Kelly (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: California Mortgage Loan Brokering and Lending (Paperback)

This book shows thorough research. I feel confident that I know about the industry enough to venture out even further - owning my own brokerage... I currently originate loans as an independent loan officer who is disturbed at the level of professionalism and support that many brokerages offer. This has not only given me further insight into the industry but provides strategies for success. And, who better to get it from but people who have been there, done that, and succeeded. If it is knowledge you need, then this is it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Only good if you can read it., September 7, 2003

By	"propertybroker" (Palm Springs, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: California Mortgage Loan Brokering and Lending (Paperback)

I can't image how a well know publisher like South-Western could mess up this badly. I have perfect 20/20 vision and have read countless textbooks in my life - that said, I can tell you that this is an exceptionally difficult book to keep focused on - literally! My eyes begin to strain and ache after 5 min. of reading, primarily because of the poorly chosen typestyle and typesize.

There may be valuable information in here - but I'm going to find it elsewhere.
