Real Estate Classes
Real Estate Professions Advisory Track
There are more than 5 million people in the United States employed in identifiable real estate
fields such as title insurance, construction, mortgage banking, property management, real
estate appraisals, brokerage and leasing, and real estate development. In addition, many are
engaged in corporate real estate and in real estate lending in commercial banks, savings and
loans, and insurance companies where their jobs are not included in the real estate sector. As
