In this crazy economic world, we are probably in dire need of some levity. Erica Ferencik (pronounced “forensic” – certainly one of the most interesting last names around), a former stand-up comedian and active real estate agent working hard in this tough environment, has written her first book, Cracks In The Foundation.

Since I began blogging here in 2005, I have been sent many books to review. I don’t review the majority I receive but I end up referencing them if I liked them and include other books I have read whenever possible. I enjoy the process so keep sending ’em.

I had the pleasure of speaking to Erica a few weeks ago and found her to be disarmingly interesting and made me want to read her first book Cracks In The Foundation which she sent me. It’s gotten great reviews.

I enjoyed the book and highly recommend it.

Given her background, I can only imagine the application of humor in her current profession. Perhaps when buying or selling a house, besides professionalism, one can also expect the experience to be fun.

After all, we are all in the outhouse at the moment. Why not enjoy it?
