Practical Real Estate Law

Practical Real Estate Law, fifth edition is an excellent text for educating and training future paralegals about the intricacies of real estate law and transactions. Detailed coverage of the central areas involved in transactional real estate include real estate contracts, real estate brokerage relationships, real estate finance as it specifically relates to residential and commercial processes, and valuable information regarding surveys and title insurance. Students and instructors alike will be amazed at the wealth of information covered in a continual user-friendly format. Case summaries give students practice in reading and analyzing case material while successfully illustrating how legal principles operate in the real world. While many theories of residential and commercial real estate transactions are the same, students and practicing paralegals will benefit greatly from the residential-specific and commercial-specific discussions, forms and checklists that explain the vast differences. The text also features a chapter devoted to leasing, with an emphasis on commercial leasing.
