If you want a full list of acronyms for real estate, be sure to buy my book when it drops, Sunnyview's Guide to Real Estate Acronyms. lol
In the meantime, here is an acronym list to get started and this one here has abbreviations and definitions mixed, but includes some that I have not seen too often like BTSA (bonus to selling agent). Hope it helps.

Are you psychic? I DO, from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville. "Screw U." has been used by more than a few authors about finances and real estate, and it is typically used to mean the school of life experiences and for the sometimes hard lessons learned therein. Once again, nice, perceptive call about the M.S. Now, about all those other acronyms...

Although the paucity of your response left a lot to be desired, thank you for at least responding. Yes, it is for a school project. I am a senior at Screw U., College of Real Estate Market Madness. We are currently studying real estate market catastrophes in newly-designated third-world countries like America. LOL!
