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.

How do I get started in real estate in the entry-level status?
Q. I am wanting to know how to jump head first into the real estate market and get my feet wet while still making money. I do not have any experience what so ever, just a real urge to get into this market! I want to take classes but, I really don't know what I need to take 1st and I want to start on my associates degree as a at-home work study but, I'm not sure what employers are looking for as far as education in the real estate world other than Business Admin. I hope there are some real estate guru's on here to help a sista out! Thank you in advance!

A. If you are talking about selling real estate as an agent, then You can take real estate classes in college or you can go to a real estate school (this is what most agents and brokers do) you will have to take a licensing test from the state. If you are talking about investing, then there are REITs you can invest in through a stock broker, If you are talking about investing by flipping (buying and fixing then selling) you will need to learn about costs of materials, value of real estate in your area, subcontracting for plumbing etc and have time for equity labor. below is link to kaplan schools, one of the better real estate schools

What is the difference between a real estate broker and real estate agent?
Q. I was wondering what the difference was between a real estate broker and a real estate agent? How long would you have to go to school to be either one? I pretty much got my answer to this question. Can a real estate broker act as both a broker as well as the agent? I plan on starting my own realty but want to do both jobs.

A. As a real estate agent you have to have your licenses held by a real estate broker you are not allowed to do anything in your own name it has to be in your brokers name or the company's name. To become a real estate agent you have to be at least 18, take the class and pass the state exam. To become a real estate broker you have to be an active real estate agent for 1 year take a class and pass the state exam. After wards you can do anything that you like in your own name. You can even open your own real estate business

A. Homes are selling, but unless you already have a great client base thi is not a great time to get started. The brokers are going to be feeding their loyal agents, you will be on your own to find them and there is no pay unless you can close deals.
