PREFACE:

To save space we use the following abbreviations and terms:

BPC CAR? CC CR DRE NAR?

The Business and Professional Code of California. California Association of REALTORS? The Civil Code of California Commissioner's Regulations California Department of Real Estate National Association of REALTORS?

You can find all California codes here. Unless otherwise stated, all legal cases are from California. In citing cases, we specify only the names of the litigants and the year of the decision.

The forms cited in this course are from CAR?.

We use these typographic conventions:

We use margin notes to provide definitions and short footnotes.

Supplemental text is delimited in one of two ways: (1) When the text is lengthy, it is enclosed in a dashed, light-green box (as you see here); otherwise, (2) curly braces are used {as you see here} in line with the text. Supplemental text is considered part of this course.

Paragraphs set against a light-gray background (as you see here) are sidebars. Sidebars are explanatory notes and parenthetical content. The information contained within sidebars is not considered part of the course.

Opinions of and personal asides by the Editor, Chuck Milbourne, are set against a yellow background (as you see here). Feel free to skip these.

For consistency and economy, the Editor has changed all references to sections of the California Civil Code to "CC ?"; to the California Business and Professions Code to "BPC ?"; and to the Department of Real Estate Commissioner's Regulations to "CR ?". The symbol `?' may be read as "section" and the symbol `??' as "sections." "Et al," as in "CC ?2780 et al," may be read as "all the sub-sections that follow."

The pronouns "he" and "himself," when used in a general sense, refer to people of all genders.
