In an increasingly litigious society consumers and real estate licensees will benefit from increased credibility and awareness by the use of appropriate procedures by real estate professionals. The Real Estate Guide Series is dedicated to increasing the knowledge and competence of the real estate licensee. Knowledge and familiarity with required standards of practice and relevant legal duties and obligations will result in a higher degree of professionalism as well as consumer support and confidence. Each guide is a practical description of real estate issues using a "hands on" approach to the most common real estate forms, standards of practice and legal requirements.
