Book Review "Tasación de Inmuebles"

Book Review
Tasación de inmuebles
This book is written by Germán Gómez Picasso and José Rozados. The title could be loosely translated as “Evaluation of Real Estate”. This is an excellent book on appraisal for anyone who can read Spanish. The authors are based in Argentina. They say the book is valid any where in the Spanish-speaking world. I have taken several classes and read quite a few books on appraisal. I learned a lot from this one.
Think about a real estate environment where the information in the public records is mostly fraudulent. There is no MLS to furnish comparable sales data. Many of the properties are constructed by the owners without permits. How do you do an appraisal under those conditions? It will be difficult under any circumstances. If you read this book at least you will have a method. A significant part of the book is dedicated to the science of obtaining information. It is also suggested that many more comparables be used.
This book is one of a series of five books. I am reading the second now, which is on negotiation. The series can be purchased online at http://www.brendiciones.com I would recommend it very highly for anyone who can read Spanish and who practices real estate under non-standard market information conditions.
