Real Estate Transactions By Gilles Baillargeon: Secondary Sources

The book is constructed on the theme of a typical real estate transaction. The text starts with the contract of sale, continues through the preparation and delivery of the deed, follows with the closing, and contains many other matters such as easements, covenants, recording, mortgages, and liens. Although containing many suggestions as to the proper method of completing these various stages of a real estate transaction, the book is intended to be more than a simple chronology of what to do. The “why” of each step is carefully explained in as much detail as is considered convenient and practical.
