Real estate is a legal term (in some jurisdictions, such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, USA 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.

A. I am a real estate agent and I think it's a wonderful career choice. If you have self determination, love working with people, think it's fun to show houses and don't want a regular 9-5 job, you will love it too. I don't know what state you are in, but in California you are required to have three classes and then pass a test that is different from the three classes you take. So you have to study hard for the test, which is like taking an extra class. One wonderful thing about real estate is that you can choose how many clients you want to work with. If you work a lot, you can make a good living. Or you can do it part time while you continue to go to school and your real estate income will help you get through college. I don't think… [cont.]

Which real estate companies are best for new agents?
Q. I'm planning on getting my real estate agents license in the next few weeks. I've heard that Century 21 and some other companies have their own courses.

A. I am a real estate agent in Australia with my own independent office. I am not sure what courses are like through franchises, however, here, the courses with regular real estate schools are very good. When you are looking to find an agency to work for, consider the following: - do they regularly pay for training for their employees? what kind of training and how frequently? - does management get regular training and upgrade their knowledge on changes in legislation etc (here we have special annual education to attend to stay in the know) - what internal systems and procedures do they have that will assist people who are just starting out? for example, a good computer software and training resources in the office for when you get… [cont.]
