Description

If Terry Ryder's book has one underlying theme, it's Buyer Beware. Terry Ryder wants to make it absolutely clear at the outset that he is not, never has been and never will be a real estate agent. So what is he doing writing a book of confessions? The answer is that Terry has been a journalist for over 25 years and a specialist real estate writer for the past 18 of them. In that time he has dealt in various capacities with thousands of real estate agents ?as a journalist writing about their deeds and misdeeds, as a consultant writer employed by them and as a buyer or seller negotiating with them. And one or two of them, perhaps weighed down by guilt, have opened up their hearts to Terry and confessed everything. In this book Terry tells it all. To protect the guilty he does not reveal his sources, but these are the frank confessions of the best and worst of Australia's estate agent community. They should be read by the 70% of Australian households who buy their own homes and therefore are exposed to the devious, duplicitous and deceitful tactics of one of society's deadliest species. The more people understand their mind-set, the less likely they are to be duped, deceived or disadvantaged.
