Contemporary Real Estate Law, Fourth Edition contains all the traditional topics in real estate law as well as the fresh, current information needed by real estate practitioners, brokers, investors, developers, homeowners, and anyone interested in the dynamic field of real estate. The authors focus on teaching the legal principles that create both rights enjoyed and the corresponding duties imposed upon parties to a real estate transaction. The accessible writing style combined with thoughtful pedagogy makes this text ideal for undergraduate students. Features include chapter outlines, objectives, and concept summaries; opening scenarios to prompt class discussion; thoughtful exercises; marginal definitions; legal terms in bolded text; and key terms, problems, and assignments at the end of each chapter for review. Contemporary Real Estate Law features the best and most current cases on each topic from courts across the United States. Exercises throughout the book challenge students to apply the law to real-world settings, and the “Focus on Ethics” sections highlight managerial decisions. Time-tested real estate forms and practice tips are provided to stimulate class discussion.
