About this Book

This real estate law text is adapted to the business or real estate professional's point of view. It is aimed at real estate students who plan to be business/real estate professionals rather than lawyers. The topic order reflects this real estate focus: property ownership, transferring ownership, real estate professionals, development and trends. It also includes coverage of real estate professional liability, agency issues, environmental liability, emerging forms of practice, securitization, and future trends. A disk packaged with the instructor's manual contains a database of state-specific information for comparison of New York, California, Texas, Florida, Ohio, and Illinois laws.
