There have been few things in my life which have had a more genial effect on my mind than the possession of a piece of land.

I'm very harsh on real estate agents. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because of how they call every small house "charming" and every run-down house a "great fixer-upper". Just once, I'd like them to show me a house and declare, "This one's a piece of crap."

In show biz you are where you live. Real estate is the key to who has been signed, dumped, divorced, defrocked, deflowered, disbarred, arrested, disgraced, married and multiplied.

A person does not grow from the ground like a vine or a tree, one is not part of a plot of land. Mankind has legs so it can wander.

It's tangible, it's solid, it's beautiful. It's artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate.

DONALD TRUMP

Everybody knew there was a housing bubble. You'd f***ing go to a neighbor, "Gee, that house costed $60,000 last year, and now it costs $600,000?! What did they do?!" "Well, they put a gazebo in the back."

Everyone says buying your first apartment makes you feel like an adult. What no one mentions is that selling it turns you right back into a child.

ANDERSON COOPER

attributed, Real Estate Law

Real estate doesn't interest me. It's no doubt a great flaw in my personality, but I can't think in terms of boundaries. Those imaginary lines are as unreal to me as elves and pixies. I can't believe that they mark the end or the beginning of anything of real concern to the human soul.

What we call real estate -- the solid ground to build a house on -- is the broad foundation on which nearly all the guilt of this world rests. A man will commit almost any wrong -- he will heap an immense pile of wickedness, as hard as granite, and which will weigh as heavily upon his soul, to eternal ages -- only to build a great, gloomy, dark-chambered mansion, for himself to die in.

Until we understand what the land is, we are at odds with everything we touch.
