realtors
They sell houses
Realtors are real estate agents—professionals who help people buy, sell, or rent property.
Technically, Realtor (capitalized) is a trademark for members of the National Association of Realtors, but the term is widely used generically for any real estate agent: We're meeting with a realtor to list the house.
The word blends "real estate" with the agent suffix -or.
