The forthcoming handbook offers clear examples and realistic practice for pre-license students, instructors, and working brokers.
Blue Crown Books announces the forthcoming release of NC Real Estate Math by educator Doug Sinclair, a practical handbook designed to help readers understand the calculations used in North Carolina real estate education, licensing preparation, and everyday transactions.
The book begins with a straightforward idea: many real estate math difficulties come from misunderstanding what a question is asking. Readers are encouraged to slow down, identify the requested result, organize the useful facts, and write each step.
Topics include area and lot size, commissions, transfer fees, seller net calculations, taxation, conventional loan qualification, loan costs, interim interest, and prorations involving taxes, homeowners association dues, and rent.
Davies and Sinclair first developed a separate real estate math workbook after hearing students ask for focused help. They printed two hundred copies and brought them to an educators’ conference in Wilmington in 2017, where every copy was taken. Their examples were later incorporated into broader instructional material, but students continued requesting a portable publication devoted specifically to math.
The new handbook has been reformatted to be easier to carry and use. Student review helped the authors confirm that the examples were understandable and the problems could be solved as written. Sinclair also draws on years of teaching college mathematics and his belief that math can be made less daunting when the process is clear.
The publication is intended for North Carolina pre-license students, real estate instructors, new brokers, and professionals who want a convenient review of common calculations. It also addresses practical testing habits, including careful reading and familiarity with a simple calculator rather than a phone or programmable device.
The official publication date, pricing, and availability for NC Real Estate Math will be announced separately by Blue Crown Books.
