An estate agent is a live or business that arranges the selling, renting, or management of properties and other buildings. An agent that specialises in renting is often called a letting or management agent.

In Scotland, however, many solicitors also act as estate agents, a practice that is rare in England and Wales.
Real estate appraisal, property valuation or land valuation is the process of developing an opinion of value for real property. Real estate transactions often require appraisals because they occur infrequently and every property is unique, unlike corporate stocks, which are traded daily and are identical. The location also plays a key role in valuation. However, since property cannot change location, it is often the upgrades or improvements to the home that can change its value. Appraisal reports form the basis for mortgage loans, settling estates and divorces, taxation, and so on. Sometimes an appraisal report is used to establish a sale price for a property.
