estate agents

Home sale intermediaries

Estate agents are professionals who facilitate the buying, selling, and renting of property—the British term for what Americans call realtors or real estate agents.

They handle valuations, listings, viewings, and negotiations between buyers and sellers: The estate agents valued the house at £450,000.

The term often carries associations with aggressive salesmanship and inflated claims.
