Our new premium 15th Edition of California Real Estate Principles by Walt Huber has been streamlined and enhanced! We've condensed this book to eliminate any unnecessary information that would have only cluttered up this new innovative and simplified edition We have all the pertinent information necessary to help students pass the state salesperson and broker's exams. It is also written in such a manner to educate wise individuals who want to be more knowledgeable about buying and selling their dream home. We include summaries and matching terminology sections at the end of each chapter for easy review and to stimulate memory and retention of important vocabulary. It's never been easier to learn and to remember information now that we've condensed the chapters to a more convent length. Whether dipping your toe in real estate for the first time, or a refresher to keep up with the changes in the industry, you'll want to keep a copy of this book close at hand for easy reference for years to come.
This book definitely has good basic essential information regarding the Principles of California Real Estate; however, it is redundant and poorly written at times. The editor missed a lot of mistakes. I haven't read other authors' versions of California Real Estate Principles, so I don't know if there are ones out there that are better. I found this one to be publicly rated the highest, which is really surprising to me. Two things I REALLY appreciated in this book were the terminology matching and the quizzes at the end of each chapter. (Chapter 11 provides the wrong answers in the back of the book for its quiz.)
Poorly organized. Yes, I'd agree that all the relevant information is included, but often the simplest and most necessary explanation for the often very technical concepts is buried after lines or even paragraphs of legalese. The writing itself is often unclear and esoteric. Lots of jargon and fairly poor definition of terms. Could be much simpler.
Another class closer to my degree. This is a pretty good textbook in spite of the typical, outlandish price. Four stars because it could really use a good editing for typos.
