Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
California Real Estate Principles has changed. It has grown to include more information than could ever be included in one book that someone could carry. This fourth edition just looks like it contains only 514 pages. The size has actually jumped to probably more than 6,000 pages at the very least. Because of the numerous references to web sites for many of the topics in the book, the student can now continue to search for more facts on any subject about which he or she is curious. Instructors can use the web sites for enrichment exercises or extra credit. Students can share knowledge gained from accessing the web sites and the links that will lead them to additional sites. Good luck, Sherry

Good for the Basics,
By Tim (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: California Real Estate Principles (4th edition) (Paperback)
This book is good for getting an overview of real estate agency. It covers the basic principles with definitions of legal and real estate-specific terms.I would not want to take a standardized test based on reading this book. She frequently gives definitions and explanations that raise more questions than they answer. The style is breezy and appears to be written so that an average high school graduate can understand it. For example, in one chapter she defines what a "Red Flag" is. For more legalistic terms she sometimes oversimplifies the definitions. By comparison I look at the Nolo Press books. They're written by lawyers but give factual information written in a style that anyone can understand about similar topics covered in this book. They are quite clear, enlightening, and straightforward in style. You'd never know that a lawyer wrote it. If you want to know the basics without being challenged with any nuances or complexity you will experience in the field as a buyer or seller, this is your book. If you want to understand the complete real estate process before you find an agent, this book will help.
