When "sold" isn't sold and "Off-the-Plan" is just "off" REAL ESTATE ESCAPES is a collection of timeless property parables where not all agents, solicitors and conveyancers are created equal, and where not all escapes are successful. Drawing from over four decades experience Tim O'Dwyer combines his deep knowledge of the subject with an uncanny ability to explain in a simple and entertaining way these true tales of getting out of contracts, leases, legal liability and prosecutions. "Real Estate Escapes" is more than an informative consumer guide. It's also a good read - riveting stories of the traps, rorts and misunderstandings that abound in the real estate industry. I highlyrecommend "Real Estate Escapes", Read it BEFORE you venture into the minefield." - Helen Wellings - Channel Seven Consumer Affairs Reporter There is no-one in Australia more able than Tim O'Dwyer to write a book on Real Estate Escapes. Forged in his legal practice and honed over many years by his practicality and sense of fair play, this book contains lessons for all Australian buyers, sellers, real estate agents, legal practitioners and law students. Tim's journalistic style and subtle humour plus the escapes themselves makes it a good read. - Geoffrey Adam, lawyer, property commentator and CEO of Australian Institute of Conveyancers (SA) (2002-2015). "If you have even a passing interest in property or law, this bookis for you." - Kieran Clair - Editor, Australian Property Investor Magazine
