Laws in real estate are put into effect to protect you and the buyer. You are protected should someone stop making payments or they wreck a house you sold them. The seller can take legal action should any of this happen. There are many laws governing real estate to protect everyone involved.

If a property is residentially zoned then the real estate law will make sure it is used just for residential and not commercial. If it is for agriculture then they will make sure that is what it is used for.

Real estate laws protect you against environmental hazards, public easements, building restrictions and much more. Check your laws so if your house is two inches to high you will know before building. The law protects you so you will not have to tear it down after it is built.

If you find anyone in violation of any law, you can take action and they will be fined or some may even face criminal charges depending on the violation. You will find the laws are made to help both parties so whenever you do something, look up the law for it first. This way you know what will be happening.
