Bookshelf v7.8: Manage Opportunities

NREC needs to give its internal employees as well as its partner agents ability to manage opportunities. Opportunities are recorded for potential buyers and include contact information and information about the type of house the buyer is interested in. Opportunities that come into NREC directly are passed on to a partner agency based on location. Table 4 summarizes the requirements for the opportunity entity.
