Risk Hotline for Real Estate by Robert L. Read. 15735 SW 80th Ave. bread@equitygroup.com. www.riskhotlineforrealestate 
"This book won the 2005 award for best book about real estate from www.usabooknews.com.
"Risk Hotline for Real Estate" was written by a former award-winning journalist and longtime Realtor(R) with RE/MAX Equity Group, Inc. in Lake Oswego, Oregon, Robert L. Read. Read, a former Ford Foundation Fellow, West Pointer, Peace Corps Volunteer, and TV news anchorman, brings 27 years in real estate sales to his book.
It contains hundreds of stories from agents, managers, and industry leaders in their own words about problem transactions.
National contributors include Richard Robbins, Brian Buffini, Carla Cross, and attorney Myer Sankary. Sankary wrote an intiguing article specifically for this book detailing six principals which, when applied, illustrate how an agent can "...become a more effective real estate professional based upon proven scientific understanding of human behavior."
Major topics include misrepresentation, negligence, and lack of diligence plus many others. The stories also include other possible solutions which agents and managers could have used to deal with difficult situations. The book is sprinkled with humorous stories as well.
John Greenya wrote in the November/December issue of "The Residential Specialist" "...his writing is clear, concise and to the point, and as a result the book is the kind of volume a new agent would want to read carefully and then keep nearby for instant reference when the wicket gets sticky."
Not too surprisingly, experienced agents are eager readers as well. The learning curve never ends. Even home buyers and sellers will find much of interest in Risk Hotline in that it offers considerable advice about home buying and selling and what pitfalls to avoid.
