Estate Agent: Vancouver British Columbia

Posted on May 12th, 2007 by Roland Lewis

Estate agent is a United Kingdom term roughly synonymous in the Canada with the term Real Estate Agent, a business that arranges the selling, renting or management of homes, land and other buildings.

In the United Kingdom residential estate agents are largely unregulated (although legal provision exists to introduce regulation). Some estate agents are members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the principal body for UK real estate professionals. However, the vast majority of RICS members — known as Chartered Surveyors — who practice estate agency do so on commercial property.
