Internet real estate as a concept began with the first appearance of real estate platforms on the World Wide Web and occurred in 1999. Real estate is different from personal property, which is not permanently attached to the land, such as vehicles, boats, jewelry, furniture, tools and the rolling stock of a farm. Real estate in Wake County is permanently listed and does not require an annual listing. 2020 REALTOR® Good Neighbor Greg Masucci opened a farm program four years ago that employs intellectually and developmentally disabled teens and young adults as growers. Nationwide, 80 percent of people with intellectual disabilities are unemployed. Masucci has been able to add more workers during the pandemic because of the added needs of local food banks.
On the Market
Real estate development is a process that involves the purchase of raw land, rezoning, construction and renovation of buildings, and sale or lease of the finished product to end users. Developers earn a profit by adding value to the land (creating buildings or improvements, rezoning, etc.) and taking the risk of financing a project. Development firms create a new product, which can be thought of as the “primary market” or generation of new inventory. Commercial property refers to land and buildings that are used by businesses to carry out their operations. Examples include shopping malls, individual stores, office buildings, parking lots, medical centers, and hotels. Developers acquire land and combine it with other properties and rezone it so they can increase the density and increase the value of the property.
The earnings from investment in real estate are garnered from revenue from rent or leases, and appreciation of the real estate’s value. There are five main categories of real estate which include residential, commercial, industrial, raw land, and special use. A real estate brokerage is a firm that employs a team of real state agents who help facilitate a transaction between the buyers and sellers of property. Their job is to represent either party and help them achieve a purchase or sale with the best possible terms. Sales and marketing firms work with developers to sell the buildings and units they create. These firms earn a commission for creating all marketing material and using their sales agents to sell the inventory of completed units.
