Lots of information that isn't relevant to rural markets, but the tips and tricks about listing houses is very useful.
Got the uneasy impression at intervals that I was reading a book-length advertisement (which, to be fair, it IS), but they did an admirable job using the book itself to provide the actual facts and statistics and information they promise without referencing back to their website/business. I appreciated that a great deal.
They also focused on how important agents are to the process, as I think they get a lot of kickback from that direction regarding average people getting all this valuable information and deciding to go it alone. They emphasize that like a travel agent, they aren't exactly necessary to the process, but if you want to be as well-protected, well-informed, efficient and efficacious as possible, it's best to keep company with a professional.
Quite readable, very personable, and lots of good examples and hypotheticals. Made me a feel a lot more informed about the real estate market.
