Estate Agent is a European English term for a person or
business that arranges the selling, renting or management
of homes, land and other buildings, although an agent that
specialises in renting is often called a Letting Agent.
Estate agents are mainly engaged in the marketing of property
available for sale and a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer
is 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.
