Contrary to what many people may first think, “real estate” encompasses far more than simply the residential brokers that help you buy and sell your home. In fact, the term refers to a much broader industry, including developers, financial analysts, corporate real estate officers, property managers, appraisers, and more.
Mortgage Finance
Commercial banks, savings and loans, mortgage banks, insurance companies and other institutional investors are all among the numerous firms that provide loans for purchasing both residential and commercial real estate. These firms hire real estate graduates to design, price, and underwrite a variety of mortgage products and financial derivatives generated from mortgage.
