First up, an apology: I've been slacking on writing these overviews this month. I'm on track for reading a book every week this year, but I'm going to make the effort this week to get back on track with writing.
I read this on the recommendation of my new boss at CREXi. I started as a Product Manager in early August, and knowing nothing about real estate, I found this book eye-opening. One of the scary parts of starting in a new industry is realizing just how much you don't know. This book gave me a lot of insight into the mind of real estate buyers, sellers, brokers, and lawyers, as well as how the business actually works. I still have a lot to learn, but at least I know where my blind spots are. I'm going to forego quotes and takeaways for this post, since I don't think they're particularly interesting for this audience.

This was a great overview of how real estate works, and it was a great way to get familiar. I don't think I'll be buying or selling any real estate anytime soon, but I'll be helping others do so via our software, and what I learned in this book will help me speak the right language.
