*Real estate agents and brokers must have a deep understanding of local tax laws, zoning regulations, school districts, contracts, building repair, utilities, transportation, business, architectural styles, and much more. They must know how to use computers. The Internet in particular is a growing part of the real estate trade. People are increasingly using it to buy and sell houses, and a real estate professional that is not Web-savvy will be left in the dust.
