Part of our complete guide: All 45 Nice Classification Classes Explained
Real estate agencies, brokers, property developers, and property management businesses fall under Class 36 — grouped with financial, banking, and insurance services, since real estate transactions are treated as a financial/monetary services category.
What Class 36 covers here
Property brokerage, real estate agency services, property valuation, rental and leasing management, and real estate investment or development activity all sit under Class 36. This applies whether the business is a traditional brokerage, a PropTech platform, or a developer selling and managing its own projects.
Where developers often need a second class
If your real estate business also does its own construction — building the properties it develops, rather than only buying, selling, or managing them — the construction activity itself falls under Class 37 (construction services), separately from Class 36. A developer that both builds and sells typically needs both classes to fully cover the business.
A PropTech company offering a listings platform or app as its core product, rather than acting as a broker, may also need Class 42 for the software/platform itself, alongside or instead of Class 36.
