i see a lot of companies calling themselves realty companies i want to know what kind of services they render and how do they operate,their organisational structure and examples of some very successful ones in the world
This question has gone six days without an answer.
In the United States, the word "realty" is commonly interchangable with the phrase "real estate". In fact, Webster’s Dictionary offers the definition of the noun "realty" as meaning "real estate". For all practical purposes, the terms are interchangable.
In the USA, a realty company facilitates the selling and buying of real estate by bringing together seller and buyer, and thereby earning a sales commission. The business is highly regulated in all fifty states with the manditory licensing ofreal estate agents and brokers.
Realty companies execute a listing contract with the sellers of real estate and then advertise the property for sale to the general public. Agents from competing companies can bring buyers to the table and the sales commissions are split in a fairly standard manner. Every realty company must have a licensed "Broker" of record who is ultimately responsible for the actions of the licensed realty agents who work for the firm.
One of the biggest realty companies in the USA is "Coldwell Banker". Prior to the 1970’s, the realty business in the USA was a regional, and many times neighborhood, business that was highly fragmented. The acquisition of successful smaller companies by even more successful larger companies over the years has led to the nationwide giants we now see. Coldwell Banker was a financial based business, acquired by the giant retailer Sears & Roebuck, that got into the realty business. Through aggressive acquisition, they managed to achieve the scale necessary to be able to make the most of national advertising and promotion. There are others that have done the same thing.
Internationally, realty companies strike deals to split commissions generated from the referrals generated when people are transfered due to work requirements.
All of the abovementioned information applies to residential realty, but the commercial realty business operates in a similar manner.
I hope this information helps.

Yeahboy- I thought that at first too but its based on per capita.
THOMAS- The three top states are CA, NY, MI. These arent red states. Im not looking for party politics.
Because Blue states have the highest racial diversities, and thus have bigger cities with rough neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are very fickle when it comes to turns to the economy. The democrats made laws requiring mortgage companies to meet racial quotas. Mortgage companies wanting to meet these guidelines gave out mortgages to anyone that came into their office regardless of financial histories. Many of those people were from these economically fickle neighborhoods, and once the economy takes a slight downturn, we have the mess we have.

An REO (Real Estate Owned) is a property that goes back to the mortgage company after an unsuccessful foreclosure auction. You see, most foreclosure real estate auctions do not even result in bids. After all, if there was enough equity in the property to satisfy the loan, the owner would have probably sold the reo property and paid off the bank. That is why the property ends up at a foreclosure or trustee sale.
Since what is owed to the bank is almost always more than what the property is worth, very few foreclosure auctions result in a successful sale. Then the property “reverts” to the bank. It becomes an REO, or “real estate owned” property
