Customer Reviews

Thanks for the help Mark

I bought my first condo in a converted loft building 18 months ago. Bad deal! I was taken by the hot shot developer. I learned my lesson. I needed to get out of this home and situation due to mis-representaion and other problems. I bought this book hoping to learn and I did. I felt that had I read this book before my first purchase I could have avoided many problems. I actually called the author who with his staff helped me sell my unit and relocate to a new home I am very happy now. For anyone ready to buy a condo, read this book and call Mark B Weiss Real Estate in Chicago for their expertise in helping people like you or me. I even made more money selling my first condo loft than I had thought. I'm in much better shape now thanks to Mark B Weiss.

Nothing Better

While I was riding the "EL" to work I saw this book being read by a number of people over the last month, so I decided that there must be something to it. I recently moved to Chicago and am begining to look for a condo. I found that the authors writing style was not like any of those Dummies or Idiots Books prepared by the "HOW TO" writers but actually by a Chicago developer and broker who tells a good story. Mark hit me where I live, I enjoyed learning from his book because it is an easy read and covers the "never discussed" area's of what you really really need to consider before taking the plundge into home ownership. This man writes from years of practicle experience and it shows. I then realized that Mark had writen other books as well so I purchased those too. I think that after I buy my condo the next step will be investment property. Thanks Mark!!
