Real estate is the property held by an estate which includes both land and buildings. Most estates have residential real estate holdings as industrial and office real estate is typically held by organizations. During estate administration, the sale of real estate is often the largest financial transaction making the most significant contribution to the net worth of the estate. Executors may interact with three professions when handling real estate - property managers, appraisers and real estate agents.
