Diary of a Real Estate Rookie: My Year of Flipping, Selling, and Rebuilding and What I Learned (The Hard Way): Alison Rogers
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Rogers may be a real estate rookie, but her cheeky dedication to Rupert Murdoch, whose refusal to pay me a decent wage launched me on the adventure of a lifetime is the first clue that she’s no newbie to writing. A founding editor of the New York Post real estate section, Rogers is now a real estate agent and columnist who tells the story of her first year of business, and her first year of marriage, with a sharp wit and relaxed style that really sparkles. It is a story of failure, and tears, and immense love, she says, adding, Don’t worry, there are some pretty tricked-out luxury condos along the way. That pretty much sums it up, but the book doesn’t just rely on funny turns of phrase: it also provides plenty of working advice, including tips on handling lowball offers, staging the sale of a bohemian apartment and talking to your realtor. Those looking for some good information on the real estate industry in a book that doesn’t feel like homework will be hard-pressed for a better choice. (June)
