REAL ESTATE RESEARCH INSTITUTE

The Real Estate Research Institute, Inc., known for its “Monthly Real Estate Transaction” provides an application designed to help iPhone users to access a glossary of real estate terms.
Our glossary is user friendly, as it seeks a high retrieval performance compatible to an encyclopedia and a dictionary. It also features many photos and illustrations.

Our glossary provides definitions and explanations of a variety of terms related to real estate, ranging from land estates, houses, taxation systems, securitization of real estate to civil laws and other regulations. Our real estate glossary should be useful not only for those who are in real estate related businesses, such as brokerage (dealings and rentals), management, and consulting, but also for those who are looking for an apartment to rent and who are thinking about buying or selling a property.
