Real Estate Companies

Real estate is divided into residential, commercial, industrial and land interests. Residential real estate companies employ sub-specialists who work with buyers, sellers and other types of shoppers. Some of these companies focus on short sales, which are a way for homeowners who are "underwater" on their mortgages to rid themselves of their property. Commercial companies work with businesses and help them find rental buildings or buildings for purchase.

Industrial real estate companies work with clients that need property in specifically zoned areas to carry on production. There are a lot of governmental regulations in this sector, making the business tricky for the inexperienced. The final major type of company is a land sales company. These specialize in selling raw land to developers or helping developers find the land they are seeking. This site offers resources with which to find all four types of these companies.
