Principles of Real Estate Practice by Mettling and Cusic is a modern learning tool for the student preparing to enter the real estate business as a licensed professional. The textbook contains the essentials of real estate law, principles, and practices taught in real estate schools and colleges across the country, including all those fundamentals that real estate educators, practicing professionals, national testing services, and state licensing officials agree are necessary for basic competence. Principles of Real Estate Practice covers the national requirements for the initial 30-90+ hours of classroom study, or its equivalent, mandated by state license laws across the country.

Principles of Real Estate Practice is tailored to the needs of the pre-license student. The textbook is designed to-make it easy for students to learn the material

-prepare students for numerous career applications

-stress practical, rather than theoretical, skills and knowledge.

It is more streamlined, direct and to-the-point than other books. It includes more learning reinforcements. It has a student-oriented organization, both within each chapter and from chapter to chapter. Its examples and exercises are grounded in the authors’ fifty combined years in real estate education.
