Review:

My primary reason for adopting this textbook, after having reviewed four or five other real estate law texts, was the thoroughness of the material being covered and the supporting materials in the text (cases, "Considers," chapter problems).

I think the text and instructor's manual are great! The text is ideal for the student in this program.... I also like the diagrams and illustrations because they help solidify the retention of the concepts being taught to the student....I would continue to use this text. I like the format, organization, and the material contained in the book.
