The Common-Sense Guide to Successful Real Estate Negotiation: How Buyers, Sellers and Brokers Can Get Their Share--And More--At the Bargaining Table

Written with attorney Douglas M. Bregman, this book is the essential guide to getting deals down on paper -- in a way that is to your benefit.
"There should be a law requiring every real estate agent, buyer, and seller to read this outstanding new book. Miller and Bregman have created a unique work designed to make home buyers and sellers into intelligent negotiators," SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER.

"The title could very well disturb those sales agents and brokers who expect clients not to bargain and just fill in the blanks on the standard sales contract where the good sales agent tells them to. What Miller and Bregman have attempted to do in their book is to translate the bargaining process into plain, understandable English so both buyer and seller have a fair shot at a good deal." W. James Van Vliet, CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER.

"Authors Miller and Bregman take the mystery out of a process that can often be baffling to the uninitiated, and provide a mine of information on how the real estate market process works." Moira O'Connor, BOSTON GLOBE

"Miller and Bregman provide a foundation for readers to understand specific issues in real estate bargaining. This practical guidebook can be used effectively by buyer, seller and broker. Highly recommended." LIBRARY JOURNAL
