The study examined the relevance of entrepreneurial education to the practice of estate surveying by the graduates of Estate Management in becoming self-made entrepreneurs in their chosen field. Real estate is a multi-disciplinary field that comprises all areas of construction, design and management, such as property management consultancy, valuation services, agency administration, and real property development services. The study reviewed related literatures, such as real estate management, investment, entrepreneurship education in real estate business. The study used questionnaire, oral and telephone interview to collect samples, and the study population was centered on graduates of estate management practicing in various firms in Abuja. Some of the specific issues addressed include but not limited to current place of employment, level of satisfaction of the young graduates, willingness to go into full time practice by starting up their own estate firms. The study revealed that 94.2% of the respondents were strongly willing to start up their own private firm, while the remaining people had different sheds of opinions. Therefore, it was recommended among other things that government and good spirited individuals make a startup capital available for graduates of estate management who are willing to become real estate entrepreneurs. In addition, further training on business ideas will assist them in no small measure in actualizing their dreams of becoming employers of labour thereby contributing to the growth of the nation.
