People come to real estate from all different avenues. There are many different types of realtors for different types of property: commercial, residential, buying agent, dual agent, and more. Generally, realtors concentrate on either commercial or residential property; some focus solely on just one side of the transaction representing only buyers or sellers. Realtors can work on their own or in a group to buy, sell, or rent property.
