Since 2006, real estate prices have plunged.  Millions have mortgages worth more than their homes.  Many businesses are having trouble paying their rent.  Those who develop, sell, remodel or rent real estate are under pressure.  On the flip side, for those who have the means, this market presents opportunities to acquire property at a reasonable price.

To deal with this, you need to understand California real estate law.   This website presents a guide to this law.  It is organized around the big questions in real estate: buying and selling, brokers, lending, defaults and foreclosures and so forth.  Please go to the area which interests you, click on it, and you will be directed to a detailed discussion.  If you have a question beyond the scope of this website, please call or email; we are always happy to answer questions.
