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.

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. Is it better to attend their course or just a regular local real estate school. Also what companies are good for new agents. Any advice you can give is appreciated! Thanks! Oh and I'll be getting my license in Tenessee.

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.]

How much commision do commercial real estate agent make and do they make more then residenyial agents?
Q. At first i was thinking of becoming a residential real estate agent but then, someone told me about commercial real estate and i was wondering would that be a better career choice and does it work the same as residential. If so, that would be major commision on a $40 million building and that would be a better route i would love to take.

A. My father is a commercial real estate broker and he has definetly made a very successful living off of it. I dont know exactly how much comission he makes, but I have heard he has made 4 million before on one building, I dont know if that is the highest he has made on one building though. He has sold 70 million dollar buildings before. It definetly makes you much more than residential real estate. And the market doesnt get bad for commercial. It is a better market and a smarter choice.

Why is it that a Real Estate Mogul never becomes the richest man on Earth?
Q. Real Estate is always one of the MOST profitable business in town. During recessions real estate is doing bad, however otherwise, if you know how to do it, then it is very profitable. So why don't we ever see a real estate mogul become the richest man?

A. In the past most people became rich by owning and controlling natural resources. But thats been changing for a few decades. Many have become rich by owning the rights to intangible assets.
