Overview

Nearly everyone will encounter a real estate transaction in their life. Each transaction includes a unique cast of characters with specific roles. These characters all have specific duties and may be liable for any breach of those duties. This program explores the intersection of common real estate transactions and the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act - one of the country's most powerful and consumer-friendly laws. The program, presented by New Jersey real estate attorney Tom Major, begins with the basics of the NJ Consumer Fraud Act and a residential real estate transaction.
