Job titles related to real estate [closed]

I would first like to thank anyone who might pay attention and provide an answer to this question, as I'm new at the community.

I work in a real state agency, and we deal with all kinds of transactions, like buying and selling, leasing, and management of condominiums (like dealing with the landlords and such, arranging polls for changes or fixes in a building, etc).

What's confusing is the specific job title for the various kinds of jobs we have here.

As an example, my specific function is to deal with lessees who are vacating the apartments or houses.

So, my question is the job titles of these sectors:

1)The agents that finds owners of real estate, like apartments, and convince them to let the agency to manage the leasing. I believe it's a leasing agent.

2)Same as above, but for buying and selling of real state. I believe they are real state brokers.

3)The people who work at administrative functions inside a real state agency, like a)those in charge of the vacancy of leased real state (me), b) those in charge of managing the leasing paperwork, and c) those in charge of the condominium management (dealing with apartment managers and landlords).

Solution 1:

A common job title for this type of work is in fact, Lettings Administrator, and the title could equally well refer to parts 3. (a) , (b) and (c) in your question.

If you want to be specific, the job function you describe in part (c) "Those in charge of the condominium management (dealing with apartment managers and landlords)" is often the remit of a 'property manager', but as you can see from the second example below, the titles 'lettings administrator' and 'property manager' are often used interchangeably in this context.
