Real estate advisory and counseling

[Justin Foster]

After looking into different types of real estate careers, I found two that I couldn't get a clear understanding of.

Real estate advisory and
Real estate counseling.

Are these two different or the same? What exactly are they? And what type of education is required to get started with them?

I love ambiguous titles and they are everywhere in real estate. One thing I have found out is often times when you are not sure what a title means, it means they don't really do anything. Of course this is not always the case. Sometimes large companies (and new companies trying to sound large) come up with ridiculous titles to try to make people sound more important (and knowledgeable) than they really are.

Where did you come across these specific titles...that might help us figure out what they mean (if anything).
