Basic Principles

The Reality of Real Estate is written from a practical perspective–presenting concepts within the context of job competencies. It emphasizes the practices and procedures of real estate and stresses the operational and mechanical steps in the transaction such as the buying and selling; the review and assessment of title, the preparation of Deeds and Mortgages, and the preparation and completion of the settlement. Each chapter is filled with examples, forms and exercises that give students hands-on experience working with a variety of real estate situations.
