This book is designed to eliminate that problem. Now containing over 3,000 definitions, The Language of Real Estate is more than a dictionary; it is a totally functional real estate reference book - a comprehensive, encyclopedic, single-volume, instant-answer book to just about any concept or question concerning real estate principles and practice in the United States.

The Language of Real Estate also contains several helpful special features:
  • A complete subject classification of terms to assist those who are concentrating their studies in specific areas.
  • A list of more than 350 abbreviations and their meanings, frequently encountered in the real estate business, such as special words, concepts and organizations.
  • An Appendix of real estate-related Web sites, appropriate to our entry into the century of the Information Age and the Internet
