Regulation

 

The sale and lease of real estate in the United States are major economic activities and are regulated by state and federal laws. The sale of residential property is also heavily regulated. All states require real estate agents and brokers, who earn a commission from the owner of real estate for selling the property, to be licensed. Contract law governs the sale of real estate. Since real estate transactions involve the sale of land, real property law also influences real estate law. For instance, the seller of property must show that that the title he or she is offering is marketable. Thus, the seller must prove that he or she owns title to the property and that no third party has an undisclosed interest in the property.
