Real estate entails real property, land, and everything in it, including underground and air rights. A real estate company buys and sells the property on behalf of the owner. In return, they receive commissions for each successful transaction. For instance, when you come across a banner written apartment for sale Dubai, an estate agent is behind the advert.
Working in this industry has no typical role. The company's agents socialize with new people, travel to different places, and change gears according to the needs of various clients. Since the roles in the industry vary depending on the type of client, duties are categorized into administrative, research, and marketing.
