Offices of Real Estate Agents and Brokers

NAICS 531210 · Real Estate · SBA size standard: $15 million average annual receipts

Real estate agents and brokers list properties for sale or lease, qualify buyers, schedule showings, negotiate offers, coordinate inspections and appraisals, and manage closings. Specialists turn inquiries into qualified leads, listings into marketing packages with MLS entries, showings into feedback loops, offers into contracts with contingencies, and pending deals into closing checklists while tracking yard signs, lockboxes, key access, MLS updates, commission splits and required forms. Permits, licensing, fair housing logs, agency disclosures and renewal paperwork stay with the broker.
