Real estate is a legal term (in some jurisdictions, such as the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and The Bahamas) that encompasses land along with improvements to the land, such as buildings,fences, wells and other site improvements that are fixed in location -- immovable. Real estate law is the body of regulations and legal codes which pertain to such matters under a particular jurisdiction and include things such as commercial and residential real property transactions. Real estate is often considered synonymous with real property (sometimes called realty), in contrast with personal property (sometimes called chattel or personalty under chattel law or personal property law).

However, in some situations the term "real estate" refers to the land and fixtures together, as distinguished from "real property," referring to ownership of land and appurtenances, including anything of a permanent nature such as structures, trees, minerals, and the interest, benefits, and inherent rights thereof. Real property is typically considered to be Immovable property The terms real estate and real property are used primarily in common law, while civil law jurisdictions refer instead to immovable property.

real estate?
Q. I just recently passed the real estate test and I have no idea what to do! Please anyone can you give me some advise on what to do next - I need a good company thats willing to train me?
Asked by jeannie - Wed Jan 31 20:46:15 2007 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hi Jeannie! I suggest you first learn the difference between Real Estate Companies. Some charge desk fees, some do a split with commissions (find out what other monthly fees they have), some are flat fee brokers. Find out if they have retirement, residuals, if they offer profit sharing how long does it take to get that profit, training, what programs do they offer and do they cost? Do they have a training schedule? Do they have a mentor program? Do they have a new agent training course? Do they have health insurance? Then go meet the Broker. If you can't relate with them, then it's not a good fit! If you have any questions, email me! Good luck and make us all proud! :) Vicki Watzlawick Broker Owner Exit Platinum Realty www.Ex [cont.]

How reputable are the real estate courses offered by real estate companies?
Q. I am interested in going into real estate when I finish college and have been looking around at schools. Century 21 offers their own course (3 weeks) and another real estate company offers one for 6 weeks while the community college offers one for 8 months that trains you how to appraise and broker as well as just getting your license to sell. Which program is best and what is the difference between being a real estate agent (seller) and a broker? The costs range from $600-$2500
