Cal. Civ. Code § 910-2-2-10
"Real estate related transaction" defined
Operative Text
Sec. 10. As used in this rule, "residential real estate related transaction" means the following: (1) Making or purchasing a loan or providing other financial assistance for: (A) purchasing, constructing, improving, repairing, or maintaining a dwelling; or (B) securing residential real estate. (2) Selling, brokering, or appraising residential real property.
Section 910-2-2-10 of 910 IAC 2 establishes the meaning of 'residential real estate related transaction' for purposes of the rule. The definition covers two broad categories: financial activities such as making or purchasing loans and providing other financial assistance tied to a dwelling or residential real estate, and transactional activities such as selling, brokering, or appraising residential real property. This definitional provision sets the scope for which activities are governed by the broader rule.
