p r e f a c e

Welcome to the eleventh edition of Real Estate Principles! As one of the most popular and well-respected texts in college-level real estate education, this book has served as the framework for a practical and rigorous learning experience for intro- ductory real estate students at schools across the nation since its first edition was published in 1981. This edition continues that tradition by incorporating the latest industry advances and education technologies into a comprehensive, student-friendly presentation of the real estate “body of knowledge.” We are absolutely convinced that students who master the material presented in this text will become better-informed real estate market participants whether their primary real estate interests lie in con- sumption, investment, brokerage, appraisal, law, property and asset management, or any combination of these aspects of real estate.

| pedagogical devices ______________________________________

For students, the book contains the following pedagogical devices designed to enhance their learning experience:

■■ Each chapter begins with a Chapter Preview that clearly sets forth the learning objectives.

■■ The Key Terms discussed in each chapter appear in boldface for emphasis. These terms are succinctly defined in the end-of-book Glossary.

■■ Many tables, figures, and photographs are provided throughout the text to help readers visualize the topics and incorporate them in their knowledge base.

■■ Each chapter ends with a Chapter Review that concisely summarizes the key concepts.

■■ Thought-provoking review exercises are provided at the end of each chapter.

■■ Suggested reading lists for each chapter are included to direct students who wish to learn more about specific concepts to additional sources of information, including books, academic journals, practitioner journals, newspapers, magazines, and internet sites.

xiv Preface

| instructor support _____________________________________

For instructors, we have developed an extensive collection of support materials that can be easily downloaded (with the proper password) from the publisher’s web- site at www.dearborn.com. The materials include

■■ detailed lecture notes in Microsoft PowerPoint and Microsoft Word format for each chapter (for use with a computer display projector or as transparency slides);

■■ assignment exercises for each chapter (with answers); and

■■ multiple-choice, true-false, and short-answer questions by chapter.

Readers familiar with previous editions of this text will be pleased to find that this edition continues to incorporate many of the special features from previous edi- tions that enhance the students’ learning experiences. Close-Ups, Legal Highlights, People Profiles, and Case Studies are liberally sprinkled throughout the book to dem- onstrate how real estate principles can be observed and applied in the “real world.”

| flexible pathways through the text ______________________

Because real estate is such a dynamic and diverse discipline, we have purpose- fully designed Real Estate Principles in such a way that instructors who wish to approach the material from their own preferred direction can do so with relative ease. Each chapter can be treated as a stand-alone learning module within the real estate body of knowledge. While we recommend presenting the material in the chapter order provided for general business students, an instructor who wishes to focus on finance and investment analysis issues can easily shift Chapters 16 through 20 to the beginning of the semester (after Chapter 1) to allow adequate time for in-depth cov- erage. Or an instructor who wishes to focus on real estate economics might consider following the first chapter with Chapters 11 through 15. We would be pleased to get feedback from instructors describing how they choose to sequence the chapters in their courses.
