Real Estate

Real estate includes all “real property”, i.e. land and buildings, as opposed to “personal property” (things like cars and furniture) and “intangible property” (things like patents trademarks and copyrights.) The business of real estate is governed by numerous laws and regulations. There are many special rules that apply to real estate contracts. Many times, real estate contracts are written by real estate agents or brokers, and they leave out important terms or use vague language which makes these contracts subject to many different interpretations and might render them unenforceable altogether.
