The business needs to keep track of agents, buyers, sellers, properties on the
market, and recently sold properties. This office focuses on homes rather than
business real estate. The business needs to track agents’ names, address,
phone, email address and license number and expiration date. For buyers
and sellers, the business needs to track names, address, phone, email
address. For each property, the business cares about property’s address,
year built, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, list price, sold price,
and status (on market, pending, sold, off market). Once property is sold,
buyer, seller and agent must be tracked. The address consists of street, city,
state, and zip.
