In legal terms real estate refers to any immovable owned by a person. The real estate business is broadly divided into two major categories, which are commercial and residential.
These two classes are further subdivided into several categories. The real estate business has become a major industry. People or business houses who own property hire real estate agents to manage the sale, purchase and renting of their properties for them.

Certain colleges teach real estate business as a special subject.

Real estate business houses know the price of properties in the areas in which they operate. This knowledge forms a vital part of their work. Real estate business houses operate in a part of a large city and do not cover the entire city. In smaller towns they may cover the entire town.
