It depends on what type of real estate you go into.  Most people work in small offices selling residential real estate others sell new homes.  Some do property management, then the big dogs do land acquisition for investment firms and developers.  The first two types (resale, new homes) are all marketing, sales and handling escrows (paperwork).  Property managers market their rentals then manage the accounts, making sure rent is paid on time and that the properties are maintained in good condition.  Then you have the acquisition people, their jobs involve a lot of research, finding the right land and making sure all plans are feasible and profitable.  \nI hope I have answered your question.

The 3 most important things in buying real estate are: Location, location and location.  It is the mantra of real estate investing.  Real Estate appreciates much better in an area where there will be growth in housing and business.  Older areas that are going decline may look cheap, but could get cheaper as time goes by.
