Focusing on the paralegal's role in a real estate transaction--rather than on the abundance of documents--this innovative text 1) demonstrates that the actual job is not "just paperwork" but dealing with real people at an emotional time in their lives, and 2) emphasizes that good paralegals can make a difference in their clients' lives and the working conditions of the other professionals involved. Using a minimum of technicality, a light-hearted approach, and much positive reinforcement, it follows, from beginning to end, a fictional story of one real estate transfer with a built-in problem ("the garden variety purchase of a home").

From the Back Cover
Key Benefit: Using a minimum of technicality and a light-hearted approach, this innovative book focuses on the paralegal's role in a real estate transaction — rather than on the abundance of documents involved. It demonstrates that the actual job is not “just paperwork” but dealing with real people at an emotional time in their lives, and it shows how good paralegals can make a difference in their clients' lives and the working conditions of the other professionals involved. Key Topics: Follows, from beginning to end, a fictional story of one real estate transfer with a built-in problem (“the garden variety purchase of a home”). Exposes readers not only to the legal aspects of the transaction, and to the parts played by the professionals, their expertise, their language, and the timeline of the transaction, but to the human motivation and interaction of the people, clients, and co-workers involved. Concentrates on the application of specific paralegal skills and demonstrates the transference of skills from other areas, e.g. legal research, psychology, and interpersonal communications. Dissects deeds from different states to show that all deeds are basically the same. Features accompanying interactive software -- DOCS ON DISK (title documents); The Name Game (real estate terminology). Market: For paralegals working with real estate transactions.
