Which code does this activity belong in?
Real estate appraisers estimate the fair market value of properties, whereas real estate property managers handle ongoing operational responsibilities such as rent collection, maintenance, and security for properties owned by others. Establishments that appraise real estate are classified in this industry regardless of whether they provide property management or other ancillary services; the distinguishing factor is that their primary activity is valuation rather than day-to-day property administration.
