This dictionary provides very brief definitions of approximately 2,000 real estate terms. In both the English-Spanish and Spanish-English sections, the terms are paired as English/Spanish equivalents (e.g., down payment/enganche), with each term explained in its own language. The definitions for notary public and notario público explain that the English and Spanish terms are not interchangeable, but most entries focus simply on aiding English- and Spanish-speaking real estate professionals in understanding eachother's terms. Olmos and Jacobus teach at Houston Community College. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
