Representation of real estate clients is a major area of practice for many law firms. Some choose to focus solely on residential or commercial real estate, but many provide services to a mix of clients. You may work for an attorney who represents buyers, sellers, developers, real estate agents, or contractors, dealing with topics such as landlord-tenant issues, mortgages and foreclosures, real estate investment, and zoning and land use, just to name a few.
Blackstone’s Advanced Paralegal Real Estate Law course covers the elements of real property; different methods used in recording and describing deeds; transference of title; rights associated with real estate ownership; elements of real estate contracts; basic landlord/tenant law; deeds, mortgages, and restrictions on land use; title insurance and title examination; the closing process; and tax implications of real estate transactions.
The textbook that accompanies this course; Real Estate and Property Law for Paralegals includes figures, tables and sample forms to provide visual aids for learning; annotated documents that focus on relevant sections of actual legal documents; case excerpts; and highlights of the specific skills students will need as real estate paralegals.
