Question1 :

A real estate company sells houses and condos (apartments). The company’s listings management system stores evidence of listings. A listing contains the property address, image, year it was built, area, and price. In case of houses, people usually want to know the number of floors, size of lot, and basement characteristics. For condos, the sizes of storage and of balcony are distinguishing characteristics.

The company’s system associates listings with agent records. These include name, address, and employment start date. A single agent manages a number of listings at a time. While a listing is usually managed by a single agent, sometimes it happens that a listing is transferred from one agent to another. It is recorded when an agent starts and ends to manage a listing.

The real estate agents and managers on the daily basis. To be able to do any job with the system, any user must first have their credentials verified by the system. An agent can create a listing and then retrieve it later when needed. Some agents can update listings as well. A listing update becomes complete only after a manager approves it. Managers can get listing reports from the system. They can also remove a listing to an archive file or, when the company ceases to market a property, to a trash can (deletion).
