Principles of Real Estate Practice is a modern learning tool for the student preparing to enter the real estate business as a licensed professional. The textbook contains the essentials of real estate principles, law, and practices taught in real estate schools and colleges across the country, including all those fundamentals that real estate educators, practicing professionals, national testing services, and state licensing officials agree are necessary for basic competence. Principles of Real Estate Practice covers the national requirements for the initial 30-90+ hours of classroom study, or its equivalent, mandated by state license laws across the country. It has nearly 500 practice questions to test mastery of the content.

Principles of Real Estate Practice is tailored to the needs of the pre-license student. Its examples and exercises are grounded in the authors' fifty combined years in real estate education. The textbook is designed to
- make it easy for students to learn the material and pass their real estate exam
- prepare students for numerous career applications
- stress practical, rather than theoretical, skills and knowledge.
