what is real estate?

[Smucky]

Shower thought time.

And like really, what is a realtor? Do we really just make laws that say if you want to buy or sell a house you have to go through this person called a realtor and pay them a percentage of the overall price? Is that even necessary? When it comes to like software programming and software development you can just do whatever you want there's no protection or anything from any kind of laws or government that says anything. Companies can just send everything overseas and screw the whole economy?

I mean the fact you have to go through a realtor, means that there's this entire industry that was created around a given law?

In some countries in Europe, in addition to a real estate agent, you must also involve a lawyer. I think it is necessary because without it it would be the wild west with hustlers.
