# Companies

### Overview

JomEstate has a built in mechanism to create/control Real Estate Companies and Agents. Each Company can have unlimited Agents, however an Agent can join only one Company. The main difference between Agents and Company is that a Company can control Agents listings and Agents itself by adding or deleting them.

##### Company Agents

Each Company or Agent needs to have an actual Joomla user-assigned to it:

<div data-hasbody="true" data-macro-name="note" id="bkmrk-this-user-needs-to-b"><div>- This user needs to be unique for each Company or Agent
- When adding an Agent from the Front Admin by the Company, Joomla user account needs to be created for that Agent
- Agent does **NOT** have any membership.The Agent inherits the membership details of the company he belongs to.

</div></div>There are two user types in JomEstate:

<div data-hasbody="true" data-macro-name="info" id="bkmrk-public-user-who-can-"><div>- Public User who can add listings.
- Companies that have Agents.
