The real estate business encompasses the multifaceted realm of buying, selling, and renting properties, constituting land, buildings, or housing. Within this expansive domain, sales and marketing play pivotal roles, often facilitated by intermediaries like real estate agents, brokers, or realtors in North America, and estate agents in the United Kingdom, or simply referred to as agents in Australia. Across the globe, various studies persist in scrutinizing the determinants influencing housing prices, ranging from structural attributes to locational and environmental factors.

Central to the real estate ecosystem are transactions, intricate processes where property rights are transferred between parties. These transactions can be dauntingly complex due to the nuances of property rights, monetary exchanges involved, and diverse government regulations. Notably, conventions and requirements vary widely across countries and jurisdictions, adding layers of complexity to the already intricate landscape.

To mitigate transaction costs and enhance efficiency, organizations like the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have delved into the study of real estate transactions. Through initiatives like 'Modelling Real Property Transactions,' efforts have been made to formalize transaction descriptions, enabling cross-country comparisons. Utilizing methodologies like the Unified Modeling Language and ontology-based approaches, researchers aim to standardize transaction processes and estimate property transaction costs across nations.
