Definition: A real estate professional who analyzes a property-related problem and recommends a course of action. Counseling may involve investment choices, highest and best use, development, or property operations.
Example
An owner asks a counselor to compare keeping a building as rentals with renovating it for another permitted use.
Keep the distinction clear
Counseling is an advisory role, not a separate guarantee of legal, tax, engineering, or appraisal qualifications. The adviser must work within applicable credentials and expertise.
