A humorous story exposing the real estate world!

I'm a realtor and this book nailed the multitude of personalities, motivations, and quirky characters that inhabit the real estate world. From the legal forms we routinely deal with (and often don't understand ourselves), to the greed, selfishness, and foibles of buyers, sellers, investors, and lawyers -- this book covers it all. The descriptions of what can go wrong in a real estate transaction are barely far fetched at all. Any realtor who's been around the block a few times will find familiar stories in this book. The author's apt descriptions are funny and right on the mark. Ultimately though this is a story about redemption, learning to care about the world around us, and understanding our limited place in the universe.I give this book a "thumbs way up."

Way Under Contract- a Sanibel story

I took this book with me on a business trip last spring. I could not put it down. I think it is a wonderful tale of the life of the real estate crowd on Sanibel. I loved reading a story about a place close to my home and close to my heart.
