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.

Real estate?
Q. Currently I am a mortgage loan underwriter for a huge financial institution. I want to maybe become a real estate agent. My aunt is making killer money. Now is there any way not to take the class and take the test since I already know a lot of real estate? Or what exactly is the whole process to make this career change?

A. Depends on the licensing requirements in your state. Check with the Department of Real Estate for their requirements. Most states require some basic courses, but there may be exemptions or partial exemptions for experience in the field. The only exception in California is that licensed attorneys, regardless of their field of practice, can go straight to the Broker level exam. Afterwards, most states also require a certain amount of continuing education for license renewal at either the Agent or Broker level...so you might as well get used to taking classes...and who knows, despite all your experince, you may learn just the thing you needed to know...

What Real Estate qualification do I need to buy properties for myself as an investor?
Q. I want to start a business buying, renovating and selling properties. I would probably sell through a proper agent, but I'm interested in finding properties myself before they get to market. What qualification do I need to be able to access information only Real Estate Agents have access to? I'm not planning on actually working as an Agent. In the US it's called MLS, anyone know what it's called in Australia?

A. If you want direct access you would need to have a valid real estate sales license. You can not directly access the information and you can not enter properties without the license.
