Introduction

Real estate and property management teach you effective ways to manage, administer and sell property owned by another party or entity. Professionals may handle all aspects related to a property, from finding potential buyers, maintaining house integrity, or making sure tenants respect their contractual obligations. Managed properties include residential and vacation properties, commercial retail space or industrial warehouse space. The real estate and property management discipline deals with four major areas: marketing and financial aspects, tenant and occupancy, facilities of the property, and administration and risk. Real estate and property management integrate theories from other disciplines like accounting, finance, business administration, and strategic management.
