Question

who was their estate agent

Answer 1

An estate agent is a person or business that arranges the selling, renting, or management of properties and otherbuildings in the United Kingdom, Ireland, or other countries around the world. An agent that specialises in renting is often called a letting or management agent. Estate agents are mainly engaged in themarketing of property available for sale, and a solicitor or licensed conveyanceris used to prepare the legal documents. In Scotland, however, many solicitors also act as estate agents, a practice that is rare in England and Wales.

It is customary in the United Kingdomand in Ireland to refer to real estate orreal property simply as property.

The estate agent remains the current title for the person responsible for the management of one group of privately owned, all or mostly tenanted properties under one ownership. Alternative titles are Factor, Steward, or Bailiff, depending on the era, region, and extent of the property concerned.
