Summary

This book is designed as a text book covering the major issues of real estate law. Designed with both the student and practitioner in mind, the text strikes a balance between theory and practice. The author develops the foundation of North Carolina real property law and then puts theory into practice by describing numerous practical applications, from creating offer of purchase contracts to title searches.Although there are real estate texts available that comcentrate exclusively on North Carolina law, they fall into two camps: theory or practice. This text balances the competing needs of students and practitioners by addressing both concerns. The text explains the theoretical bases of real preperty law in North Carolina and then provides practical, hands-on examples of how to apply this theoretical knowledge.
